We have a few of them in this comparison, and they do a great job at being a lot of different things to a lot of different skiers. Strengths:Ī ski for the people! The Black Crows Camox fills a great niche in the ski world-the mid to upper-90 mm underfoot twin tip. With a fantastic blend of flex and energy, the M-Free 99 can do it all for you at a very high level. Playful skiers who want something equally at home during trick time as it is in the backcountry. The main story here, though, is the rocker profile and the amount of splay in the tips and tails, making this ski stay up and out of fresh snow, while leading to a turnier overall mentality due to the shorter effective edge. In addition, the fiberglass laminates keep things energetic and poppy throughout, while the PU is a stable and damp material. Built with Dynastar’s Hybrid Wood core, the skis get the Poplar in the main trunk with Polyurethane (PU) material along the sidewalls extending into the ski. It’s a great tree ski for here in Vermont, and it’s a better floater than its width may indicate. Just like the Menace, however, the M-Free 99 is a capable and willing participant in anything that you can find. With a longer rocker profile leading to more of a freeride versus freestyle personality, the M-Free 99 is smooth, fun, and flexible for all-mountain skiing as well as park and pipe fun. Strengths:Īs a replacement for the Menace 98, the M-Free 99 borrows more from the wider M-Free 108 than its outgoing twin-tip brethren. Skiers with very loose Achillies tendons and strong ankles will particularly enjoy these noodles. Swerve-masters and jibsters all over the world.
The name indicates as much, with the ability to “Blend” the park and the mountain into one gigantic playground. At 100 mm underfoot, these skis have a decent footprint as well, so if you ever decide to get out of the snow park and ski some real snow, the Blend can get down with that as well. From nose blocks and butters to tail stands and nollies, these skis are built and shaped to handle the most creative freestyle ski minds on the planet. Think of any swervy type of skiing that can possibly fit in your mind and these Blends are the ideal toy for the task at foot.
How they can stand to be bend the way that they do and continue skiing is beyond me, but good for the engineers over at Line for figuring out how on earth to build a ski like this. Built with a Maple Macroblock wood core, these skis and their half-cap construction are about as noodly and wiggly as it gets in the ski world. Softest ski on the wall, and by a pretty good margin, the Line Blend is a trickster’s paradise.
