Vision 118 2023
The Vision 118 are freeride skis from Line for experienced riders who like fresh, deep, and immaculate snow. After making its debut in the 2020/2021 season, it is back this year with a new look.
Measuring 118mm, this model has the second widest waist of all the skis in the brand (behind the Pescado measuring 125mm). This is a pure backcountry/freeride ski through and through that will give you incredible thrills.
No matter how thick the powder is, the Vision 118 will always float over it. From its width and its big front rocker to its directional flex and its stance of -45mm, everything has been purposefully designed to make the Vision 118 a pop machine. The Early Taper and Early Rise rockers allow the front to lift even more easily and to flatten the tip in the rear to maintain excellent manoeuverability in powder.
All skis in the Vision range are equipped with THC technology. This technology is Line's innovative secret weapon. The Triple Hybrid Construction technology combines 3 materials (Aramid, Carbon and Fiberglass) and uses their properties to absorb maximum vibrations and provides amazing cushioning, without weighing down the skis. In addition, they are all designed with Partly Cloudy Core, an ultra-light and very resistant core.
The Vision 118 is an expert in more intense conditions! It floats, remains stable and is easy to manoeuvre on all types of terrain. Experienced and expert riders will appreciate its many assets and soon will not be able to do without it. So don't wait any longer, here's the ideal pair for beautiful lines!

Technologies:
THC ™construction
A combination of three materials, aramid, carbon and fibreglass, which have different vibration frequencies and provide cushioning to the skis regardless of the terrain or speed.
Sidewall:
Ultra-high-density polyethylene walls at the edges absorb vibration for maximum durability, giving a feeling of stability
Thin Tip:
The core has been lightened and the edges thinned out.
Early Rise:
The rise of the tip and tail starts sooner as the skis' profile moves away from the centre, making turning easier and helping to keep the skis steady. It also means effortless float in softer snow!
Early Taper
The widest point of the sidecut comes in sooner in the tip and tail, reducing powdering and providing stability.
Directional Flex:
The more flexible tip allows for easy pivoting and float while the more rigid tail provides power, stability and control at high speed.
5-Cut
5 different turns radiuses for a more intuitive and agile ski.
Le Vision 118 est un ski de poudreuse impressionnant ! La portance en peuf est simplement démentielle, on flotte naturellement au dessus de la neige sans avoir besoin de forcer. Le talon permet de conserver une prise en main et une maniabilité exemplaire, peu importe la quantité de neige.
Les plus : Un monstre en poudreuse, stable, maniable.
