 I'm Steve at Alex Brigham. This is a little clip about the Line Vision 98. We're going to chat through it today with Mark who also works for me. So the first thing we want to do is just hear some of the tech details from the guys at Line. Right here we have the brand new Line Vision 98. The Vision 98 is that perfect hybrid free-torque. It's 1500 grams without a binding on it so a nice nice lightweight if you want to go uphill. Get yourself a hybrid binding like a Salomon Shift or a Duke PT on there. Couple it with the skin and it'll work for you great. If you like a light ski in general you can go on-piece and off-piece with ease. It's very very dampened thanks to Line's THT construction. It's not just a pot reference that means triple hybrid construction, fiberglass wrap on the core, carbon string is all the way through and then a Kevlar weave over the top of the ski to keep a nice dampened feel so it's not very noisy and tinny feeling like a lot of other touring skis on the market. This would really suit the advanced skier looking to go uphill or downhill. Someone that wants a playful all-mountain ski that isn't just stiff and light at the same time. Our testers feedback has always been great on these skis because they don't feel like a traditional touring ski. They're easy enough to get around on for any ability of skier but you know you can have a lot of fun all the way down the mountain. So you've had a bit of a rundown on this ski. One of the things I should say is it was a new ski last year and it won a lot of awards. We didn't carry it in our range last year but it definitely sprung into our attention just because of the amount of different category awards it was winning both as a backcountry ski and a free ride ski and we weren't disappointed. So in terms of testing how did it feel to you Mark? Well to me it felt similar to one of my older favourite skis which is Salomon MTN Explore and the things that I really liked about that was it was lightweight but it still had a decent kind of top end performance. It had a super forgiving flex but loads of edge grip which meant I could ski it at slow speeds and almost kind of pop and jump out of the turns and that it made it like really fun and that is kind of how I feel about this ski as well except it's got a twin tip on it so it makes it a little bit more versatile and maybe a little bit more kind of surfy in softer snow. So is it free ride ski or a backcountry ski? Either really you just got to choose which binding you want to put on it. Yeah and for me I think that's the thing it's probably just hits the nail on what I want from a ski it's going to be quite light and it's got that surfy feel it'll still grip it's got decent construction to it it's got some interesting tech, carbon, aramid, 98 waist it's going to basically go everywhere and it feels good pretty much whatever the snow. Yeah if you're a real blaster you probably want to stay for ski but for something that crosses the boundaries this is yeah this is really interesting definitely worth a look whichever whether you're a backcountry skier whether you're a free ride skier. So if you've skied it let us know what you think in the comments or if you've got any questions pop something down there and we'll come back to you thanks for watching
