Product details: Line Pescado 23/24 Skis
The Line Pescado is a very special powder ski and a welcome change from traditional directional skis. The fish shape with dovetail was developed to take advantage of the benefits of directional skis: Stability at speed and long, effective edge grip.
Thanks to a dovetail design, soft flex and a massive shovel, the Line Pescado floats through deep snow like a dream.
Directional, rear positioning lets the tail of the Pescado sink into the powder, which lifts the tip and gives you more control in the deepest snow. At the same time, the same concept gives the Pescado exceptional carving ability on piste.
Grab the Pescado and experience one of the most innovative, unique powder skis on the market. A hell of a lot of fun!

Technology
5CUT MULTI-RADIUS SIDECUT:
FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
SWALLOWTAIL
A dramatic tail knockout de-couples the farthest reaches of the effective edge while simultaneously forcing the tail of the ski down in soft snow. The result is a ski that can be ridden at shorter lengths without sacrificing performance. An eye-catcher for sure in the liftline but it's not just eye-candy, Eric Pollard pushed for this design after experiencing its advantages in surfing and snowboard designs. The swallowtail design is as important as what it is as what it's not! The absence of material in the tail drastically reduces weight while the shape maintains a long effective edge for arching turns and staying in control. In powder, the tail drops you back in the snow lifting your tips for ample flotation while maintaining a neutral skiing stance so you're not in the backseat trying to stay afloat. For those concerned about durability have no fear, the tail is reinforced with titanal so stay in once piece.
SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION
Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
EARLY RISE
The tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.
DIRECTIONAL FLEX
The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.
