Line Skis Pescado Skis 2023
Model Info
Product Info
It's a known fact that pretty much every cool innovation in ski design over the last 40 years or so was inspired by snowboarding. So when the current hotness in snowboard design is "volume shifted" boards with short lengths, super fat noses, and swallow tails, Line figured, what the heck let's try it out. And for that, we thank them. It turns out that just like twin tips and fat skis, volume shifted skis are pretty awesome. The Line Skis Pescado Skis have by now taken their place in the ranks of legendary ski shapes. They are built to ride shorter than you normal size, but more than make up for it with a super fat 125 mm waist and even fatter shovels. The rearwards mount point and swallow tails help the ski sit back in powder and float like a speedboat through water. They're a revelation in powder, unlocking previously unseen styles of playful, directional, deep snow riding.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Early Rise™ – Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack.
Rocker Profile – 20mm Tip / 4mm Camber / 1mm Tail
Flex
Directional Flex – The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control.
Sidecut
5-Cut™ Geometry – Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
Shape
Swallowtail – A dramatic tail knockout de-couples the farthest reaches of the effective edge while simultaneously forcing the tail of the ski down in soft snow. The result is a ski that can be ridden at shorter lengths without sacrificing performance.
Core
Partly Cloudy™ – A blend of lightweight Paulownia and Maple creating the best strength to weight ratio of Line's offerings.
Sidewalls
Sidewall Construction – Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
Base
Sintered 1.1 mm Base – Sintered bases reduce friction against the snow allowing for more speed, and more durability due to the high-density material they're crafted from.
Edges
1.7mm x 2mm
Additional Features
Stance Back from Center – 80 mm
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
