The Line Vision 96 is your key to an epic adventure whether you're going for a tour, skiing in the resort, or doing a little bit of both. This is one of the best options to build a hybrid touring setup around. Yes, it is slightly heavier than dedicated touring skis, but this means more performance on the downhill. Dedicated touring skis are great if your only priority is saving weight and maximizing hiking efficiency but they can feel like they lack confidence on the downhill. The Vision is built with saving weight in mind but uses a blend of fiberglass and carbon for additional reinforcement. This allows it to provide impressive downhill performance for a ski in this category. At 96mm underfoot it's quick edge to edge and has good grip, even on some more firm terrain. The Vision initiates smoothly and provides a confident and relatively stable feel. Compared to downhill resort skis it's not quite as powerful, but it can for sure keep up. In tight terrain and off-piste, it's energetic and predictable and likes soft snow. Pair this with a Shift (Salomon, Armada, or Atomic) binding and you've got a killer hybrid setup. 

Who's this ski for? Skiers looking to complete their uphill setup with a hybrid ski that's one of the best at actually skiing. 

Who isn't this ski for? Skiers looking for a powerful resort ski.
