Line Sakana 174 Ski White/Black

the 2022 LINE Sakana is one of the most versatile, hard-charging all-mountain carvers on the hill. Designed with a distinctive swallowtail shape and a wide 150mm shovel, the Sakana effortlessly bridges the gap between deep-snow float and high-angle groomer carving. With a 105mm waist and a surprisingly tight 15-meter turn radius, this directional ski locks into an edge to trench medium-radius turns on hardpack while letting you release the tail for playful smears and slashes through tight trees and soft stashes. In powder, the cutout swallowtail allows the back of the ski to sink naturally, keeping the oversized nose planing on top of the snow without forcing you into the backseat. Built around a lightweight Partly CloudyT Paulownia and Maple wood core reinforced with Carbon Flax Tape, the 2022 Sakana delivers damp, chatter-free stability without the harsh, pingy feel of traditional carbon builds. Key Features Swallowtail Design: Drops your tail in soft snow for effortless float and a centered stance, while maintaining full effective edge contact on firm groomers. 5-CutT Multi-Radius Sidecut & Tight 15m Radius: Blends five different radii into the ski's sidecut for intuitive turn initiation and snappy, energetic carving across variable terrain. Carbon Flax Tape: Carbon stringers offset by natural flax taping add torsional rigidity and longitudinal pop while damping vibrations. Directional Flex & Early RiseT Tip: A softer, generous early-rise tip initiates turns smoothly and floats effortlessly, while a stiffer tail locks in power at the end of every carve. Partly CloudyT Core: A blend of lightweight Paulownia and durable Maple engineered for the best strength-to-weight ratio.
