It has already been established that line is a shitty company and doesn’t make quality skis. Sorry.

You shouldn't have hit your ski with your other ski.

Oh no, not a huge chip!


seriously why are younger skiers so hyper focused on appearances? No one is looking at the chip on your skis don’t worry about it.

line's quality has always been hit and miss. I watched so many pairs blow up in the late 2000s, and I had a pair of 2011 stepups that delammed wicked bad

I have a pair of 2013 set ups that outside of bad top sheet chipping and getting softer have held up great.

I’m just saying topsheet and side wall chips almost always happen from the inside edge of one ski cutting the other ski. That’s not a construction defect, and it’s manageable with minor repair effort. I don’t defend line but my god these bitchy little boys need to STFu

perfect example of line quality, some skis they make hold up great and others blow apart

Unstable? did you go the Andri Ragettli route? Ever since I got skis taller than me, I feel better every minute already.

The only way they could chip would be by hit them them against something else. Definitely not the skis fault.

well, a 189 would definitely be fun for jibbing. Im 5'11 and ride 191 pow skis in a 122 and they're so fun. In the market though for some smaller ones in a 184 for all-mountain like a 112. I already know what to buy though and for stability, always get a longer ski. Works most of the time.
