2027 Line Sakana — All-Mountain Freestyle Ski

What is a swallowtail ski, and how does it actually ride?
A swallowtail ski has a notched-out tail instead of a full, squared-off end. On the Sakana, this drops the tail deeper into soft snow for a surfy float in powder while cutting swing weight, so the ski feels lighter and easier to spin or slash. On groomed runs, the shape still maintains a long effective edge so you don't lose grip when you tip it on edge.

How does the Sakana compare to other Line all-mountain skis like the Blade?
The Sakana leans more freestyle than a straight all-mountain carver like the Blade — it's built with a swallowtail shape, directional flex, and Thin Tip construction aimed at rail hits and park laps, while still handling groomers and everyday Okanagan conditions. A ski like the Blade is tuned more purely for edge-to-edge carving performance without the playful tail shape.

Is the Rocker/Camber profile good for both powder days and hardpack groomers?
Yes. The Early Rise tip lifts the contact point for easier flotation and reduced edge catch in fresh Big White snow, while the cambered section underfoot stores and releases energy for solid grip and power on Silver Star's groomed cruisers. It's a profile designed to handle mixed Okanagan conditions rather than one specific snow type.
