The Vision 98 has a lot of rocker for a 98mm-wide ski, with both its tip and tail rocker lines extending pretty deep into the ski. Up front, the Vision 98вЂ™s tips are less tapered, and its tips arenвЂ™t nearly as tapered as skis like the Dynastar Mythic 97, Faction Prime 2.0, or 4FRNT Raven. The Vision 98 has slightly less tip and tail taper compared to the Vision 108, but the Vision 98 has more tail taper than most touring skis in its class like the Salomon MTN Explore 95, Blizzard Zero G 95, K2 Wayback 96, and G3 FINDr 102. The Vision 98 and 108 have very similar shapes and rocker profiles. Given that both skis come in at weights comparable to most dedicated touring skis, weвЂ™ll definitely be putting time on them in the backcountry. ItвЂ™s worth noting that Line does actually allude to touring in their description of the Vision 98, which they didnвЂ™t in their description of the Vision 108. THC comments aside, itвЂ™s pretty bold of Line to claim that a ~1450-gram ski is supposed to вЂњrally blown snow.вЂќ We havenвЂ™t been on many skis this light that encourage us to mob through rough snow, but weвЂ™ll see. And yes, it probably not-so-coincidentally shares the same name as a certain chemical in a certain plant. In case you havenвЂ™t read our review of the Vision 108, LineвЂ™s вЂњTHCвЂќ construction basically consists of three laminates - aramid, carbon, and fiberglass.

But the shrunken footprint offers a versatility for those days that you donвЂ™t need the float.вЂќ

ItвЂ™ll rally blown snow, arc on groomers, and even motor skin tracks if thatвЂ™s your thing. вЂњThe Vision 98 shares the same build and featherweight feel as the Vision 108вЂ“ straight down to the THC Construction. Because based on its specs, the Vision 98 is unlike any ski weвЂ™ve seen before.

WeвЂ™ve already posted our full review of the Vision 108, but now we want to take a look at the narrower Vision 98. Then for 20/21, they added the Vision 118. Line introduced for 19/20 a brand-new series of what theyвЂ™re calling вЂњfreerideвЂќ skis, the Vision 108 and 98.
