174 cm Line Sakana Skis (New)

The Line Sakana is one of the most distinctive and recognizable skis on the mountain, designed by Eric Pollard to redefine how we think about "all-mountain" carving and powder performance. With its iconic swallowtail design and massive 150mm tip, the Sakana is a directional masterpiece that mimics the feel of a surfboard. The swallowtail isn't just for looks; it allows for a longer effective edge on hardpack while letting the tail "sink" in deep snow, naturally lifting the oversized tips for effortless flotation without the need for a massive mid-width. For 2025/2026, the Sakana retains its Partly Cloudy Core—a blend of lightweight Paulownia and Maple—reinforced with Carbon Flax Tape stringers. This construction provides a damp, energetic ride that can transition from high-angle "euro-carves" on groomers to surfy slashes in the trees. At 174cm, the Sakana features an incredibly tight 15-meter radius, allowing it to make turns that feel much shorter and more aggressive than a typical 105mm-waisted ski.
