2010 Line Celebrity Alpine Ski Scores 84 out of 100

2010 Line Celebrity Alpine Ski Scores 84 out of 100

By: C. Mikkelsen

Likes:  My favorite thing about this ski is the top sheet.  Line knows how to make a girl feel good when rippin’ the slopes.  The hot pink flare dons a pony dashing across on tip and every time you see it on a chair lift you just have to smile.  But seriously, this is a great all mountain ski!  It proved solid on all terrain with a good over all response.  

Dislikes:  This ski wasn’t my favorite in mixed conditions due to the flex.  But who likes skiing in crud any way.

2010 Line Mastermind Scores 89 out of 100 points

By: Julie Sexton

Size Rated: 177cm

Dimensions: 115-85-112        Turn Radius: 18.5

This is a great all mountain ski: enough side cut for carving and wide enough for floatation in some powder. The Mastermind was stable in most conditions, and the 2009-2010 graphic is great!
