Line is an alpine ski company founded in the early 1990's in response to the increasing popularity of snowboarding. Traditional skis did not have upturned tips on the back, as snowboards did, limiting the amount of tricks available to skiiers. Then Jason Levinthal, founder of Line Skis, created the first pair of "twin tips" for his shop class. In 1995 Line Skis was born.

The Chronic is Line's all-around ski. It now is available in two widths for more versatility. It is designed for freestyle use on the widest variety of terrain.

The new Invader is their most park specific ski. By making it totally symmetrical, they created the ultimate design for spins and grinds. The Butter Zone allows for easy buttering of rails.

The Prophet series are line's freeride skis. The series consists of the Prophet 130, Propet 100, and Prophet 80.

Reactor Binding

---

In 2003 Line again made a great improvement in modern ski technology. The "Reactor" binding system features a system that releases the skis during the type of falls that often result in ACL tears in skiiers. This technology has been applauded by skiiers as the most important inovation in alpine binding technology since the 1950's when the first releasable bindings were developed by Marker. The Reactor is also unique in that it can be easily moved from one pair of skis to another by the user similar to snowboard bindings. Unfortunately, the Reactor can only be mounted on Line skis without the use of the Freedom Plate.
