Returning for 2026 unchanged, the Line Pandora 85 remains a lightweight, energetic, and approachable frontside all-mountain ski designed to help skiers build confidence and broaden their skills. It excels on groomed snow but carries just enough freeride DNA to venture off the beaten path when the mood strikes.

Why we like it:

The Pandora 85 offers a smooth blend of quickness, stability, and progression-friendly performance with just enough freeride influence to keep things interesting.

Who it's for:

Intermediate skiers looking for a responsive ski that handles frontside laps with confidence but also has the shape and profile to explore bumps, trees, and off-trail terrain without feeling overwhelming.

Highlights:

With a 14-meter turn radius and a firm underfoot section, the Pandora 85 carves tight turns on hardpack with confidence. Its progressive rocker profile and softer tips and tails offer maneuverability and forgiveness when switching up turn shapes or navigating variable terrain. Line’s FSC Certified Aspen wood core and Bio Resin layup reduce weight while nodding to sustainability—a thoughtful bonus on a ski that’s already got a lot going for it.

Things to consider:

The Pandora 85 features a distinctive flex pattern—stiff underfoot but soft at the extremities. Lighter or less aggressive skiers will benefit from the accessible tips and tails, but heavier or stronger riders may overpower the ski in more demanding conditions or at higher speeds.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. Choose your standard length for balanced performance, or size down slightly for a quicker, more nimble feel.
