I am considering getting some line darkstar titaniums. From what i've read on the line web site the skis seem to be quite sturdy. But I have read mixed opinions about their quality on this site. BTW I plan to ski mostly groomed and powderat the local hill

I've got a pair of old 'OneFiftyThree's,' and they're holding up fine. The wood core is key.

I just don't like line because they aren't stiff enough.

line skis are money. plus they have the best warranty so they're a good investment anyway if you are concerned about durability

freezed: I ski mad trix, theyre actually hard to pop. Then again, I weigh in at a hefty 135-140lbs. Shoulda gotten 1260s, those were my other choice, but couldnt get em anywhere.

my 1260's are holding up amazing, through city rails, and all. my friend has publics, and we do the same shit, and his are beaten to hell. lines are pretty soft tho, but sturdy too

just so you all know, the last guy that posted is a dumbass (the only line ski to ever be intended as a center mount was the orange 1260 from about 3 years ago)
Now that we have that cleared up, if your skiing groom and pow, I'm gonna say that if you wanna go with a Line ski, the Darkside's gonna be your best bet

This has been One Man's Opinion

'Too many rookies, not enough pros' Roy, as we watch our friend Dave try to have style

'What are they gonna do?, show us up, (followed by a lot of laughing)' Roy and I having a convo between ourselves wondering what would happen if a couple boarders in our park got mad

'I could be skiing right now.' Me in my friends car with some ladies at about 12 for lunch, they're singing, I'm bored, they weren't too happy, but they got the message and I went skiing sooner than I could've hoped

'hey baby, it's no good if your friends can't have none' My friend Dan, as he attempts to share and mack a broad at the same time

the darkside titanium arent twintips and not even close to center mounted. Even 1260s arent truely center mounted. Really close though.

Coming Soon...

yeah...all lines are NOT center mounted. Im pretty sure that the factory mount point on most all of their skis is a litle back.
darksides, and my 192 moships i know for sure are not.
