{"product_id":"2027-line-poisson-skis-ln261750","title":"2027 Line Poisson Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eEqual parts carver and slasher, the Line Poisson is a new freeride concept ski that blends precise titanal-laminate hard-snow performance with a surf-inspired Stepped Tail. An aspen veneer core, zoned titanal placement, carbon stringers, and a stepped swallowtail come together for a ski that knifes carves on firm snow and breaks loose into surfy slashes when the snow softens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stepped Tail is the standout feature, borrowed from surfboard design. Breaking the running surface at a defined point makes the tail easy to slash or release on firm snow while leaving real surface area behind the step for float in pow. It's an unusual feature for a ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvanced and expert freeride skiers who want a one-ski-quiver that blends hard-snow precision with soft-snow play. Particularly suited to skiers who appreciate creative ski design and want something different from standard freeride builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Poisson is one of the more genuinely innovative ski designs in recent memory. The titanal layout is the first piece of the puzzle: a full strip of metal underfoot for stability and edge hold, with segmented flanges in the tip and tail that free up the ski's flex for energy and liveliness. It's a different approach than the full-sheet titanal you find in most freeride skis and gives the Poisson a more playful character without sacrificing precision. Underneath, the aspen veneer core keeps things snappy, and uni-directional carbon stringers add pop where the toned-down camber profile gives some away. The Stepped Tail is the visual and functional differentiator: a defined break in the running surface that makes the ski feel shorter and looser on firm snow but longer and more balanced in deep snow. The 9-2-6 rocker profile keeps tip rocker moderate for smooth turn entry while the nearly-flat camber lets the aggressive sidecut work without feeling locked in. With a 110mm waist and an 18.5-meter radius, this ski has a freeride personality but skis with a precision that's rare at this width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stepped Tail design is unusual and takes some getting used to. Skiers who want a traditional freeride ski feel may find the looseness of the tail distracting, and the lighter titanal layout means this ski isn't as damp as a full-metal-laminate alternative. It's a specific tool for skiers who appreciate the design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes true to length. The Stepped Tail makes the effective edge feel shorter than the overall length, so most skiers will be happy on their usual size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Line","offers":[{"title":"172","offer_id":51757319356712,"sku":"LN261750|172","price":949.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"179","offer_id":51757319389480,"sku":"LN261750|179","price":949.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"186","offer_id":51757319422248,"sku":"LN261750|186","price":949.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-line-poisson-skis-ln261750-1-ln261750.jpg?v=1778769541","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-line-poisson-skis-ln261750","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
