{"product_id":"2027-line-pescado-skis-ln261749","title":"2027 Line Pescado Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eA purpose-built powder ski with a swallowtail design, the Line Pescado is Line's deepest-snow tool. A paulownia core, soft flex, massive shovel, and swallowtail shape combine for a ski that floats through deep snow like a dream and carves groomers better than its profile suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pescado's directional back-mounted stance is the headline. By moving the mount point back, the ski's tail sinks in deep snow while the tip rises, giving real planing performance in the deepest conditions. It's a powder-first design philosophy that few other skis commit to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvanced and expert powder skiers who chase deep days and want a directional powder specialist. Particularly suited to skiers in deep-snow regions where this kind of dedicated tool earns its place in a multi-ski quiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything about the Pescado is built around deep-snow performance. The paulownia core keeps the ski light, which is critical when the waist hits 125mm, and the soft flex pattern is what lets the massive shovel actually plane up rather than diving. The swallowtail design removes surface area behind the mount point, which lets the tail sink and pivots the ski upward in deep conditions. The 20-4-1 rocker profile pushes most of the rocker into the tip with minimal tail rocker, reinforcing the directional design. With a 158mm tip and a 19.5-meter radius, the Pescado is built for medium-to-large arc turns in deep snow and slow, surfy lines through trees. It's not a fast ski; that's not the point. The point is the float, the surfy feel, and the ability to hold a line through tracked-out powder without getting deflected. The single 180cm length keeps things simple and matches the directional design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a dedicated powder ski. On firm snow the soft flex and swallowtail shape mean the Pescado isn't going to carve like a narrower ski, and the single 180cm length means it's not the right pick for shorter or lighter skiers. Use the Pescado for what it's built for: deep snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in a single 180 length. Sizing here is a function of stance and weight; the directional design means the ski feels longer than its dimension suggests when forward, shorter when riding back-mounted in deep snow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Line","offers":[{"title":"180","offer_id":51757320077608,"sku":"LN261749|180","price":974.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-line-pescado-skis-ln261749-1-ln261749.jpg?v=1778769540","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-line-pescado-skis-ln261749","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
