An in-depth look at the all-new 2020 Line Vision 118 powder ski.

I, Erica[EA]and my boyfriend Dylan[DD]are Jackson Hole, Wyoming-based skiers.
When applicable, our individual opinions are noted with our initials.
Line seems to be marketing this ski in a very similar manner to the 108 based on the description.
The flex of the 118 is marginally stiffer than the 108.
I rated the 108 as 7/10 in the tips, 8.5/10 underfoot and 7.5/10 in the tails.
I typically detune my tails pretty aggressively so they released pretty easily out of a carve into a slash.
I [Erica] hopped on the Vision 118s on one of the deepest days of the season.
The 118s on the other hand truly floated like a dream.
Whatever Line has done with this THC construction, it does what they claim.
Comparisons:
Vision 118 vs.
Vision 108:
The 118 is slightly stiffer and heavier throughout than its little brother the 108.
The 108 is significantly lighter which lends itself very well to being a playful touring ski.
So who is the Vision 118 for?
Overall the ski is very easy to ski and doesnt have any weird traits that I found.
