{"product_id":"2027-line-optic-88-skis-ln261761","title":"2027 Line Optic 88 Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eHard-snow performance gets the Optic treatment in the all-new Line Optic 88. An aspen veneer core, Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive titanal layup, and a tighter turn radius come together for the narrowest member of the Optic Collection, built for ripping corduroy and charging through crud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing the chevron titanal construction down to an 88mm waist gives skiers a metal-laminate ski that actually carves like a frontside ski. Most all-mountain skis at this width skip the metal in favor of lighter constructions; the Optic 88 doubles down on edge grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntermediate through expert frontside skiers who want a freeride ski's stability in a width that carves like a real frontside ski. A great fit for skiers in firm-snow regions or for anyone who prioritizes edge grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all-new Optic 88 is Line's answer for skiers who want freeride DNA in a frontside-leaning width. Aspen veneer core for the snappy, alive feel that runs through the Optic line, plus Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive: the chevron-shaped titanal layout that delivers edge grip and stability without flatlining the ski's energy. At 88mm underfoot, the Optic 88 is the narrowest member of the Optic Collection, and the resulting on-snow feel is meaningfully different from the wider line members. The shape is quicker, the carve is tighter, and the ski feels more like a true frontside carver than an all-mountain ski. The 9-2-6 rocker profile is more conservative than the wider Optics, with less tail rocker and a flatter overall profile that locks the ski onto its edge through the carve. With a 16.3-meter radius at the 177cm length and a 121mm tip, the Optic 88 has the kind of tight turn shape you want in a frontside ski while still bringing the freestyle versatility of a twin tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 88mm waist isn't ideal for skiers who see real soft snow regularly. If your skiing involves regular powder days, look at the wider Optic 96 or 104. The Optic 88 is at its best on firm snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes true to length. Pick your usual size for an all-mountain or frontside ski. Skiers who want more stability at speed can size up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Line","offers":[{"title":"163","offer_id":51757318930728,"sku":"LN261761|163","price":699.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"170","offer_id":51757318963496,"sku":"LN261761|170","price":699.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"177","offer_id":51757318996264,"sku":"LN261761|177","price":699.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"184","offer_id":51757319029032,"sku":"LN261761|184","price":699.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-line-optic-88-skis-ln261761-1-ln261761.jpg?v=1778769540","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-line-optic-88-skis-ln261761","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
