Most skis in the All-Mountain East category aren’t derived from narrow-waisted, Carving ski chasses, but are descendants of still fatter skis that occupy the All-Mountain West and Big Mountain genres.  This M.O. is right up Line’s alley, where 92mm skis are considered on the skinny side.

Everyone knows Line loves to make twin-tips; not everyone realizes most of their twins are directional skis with long, traditional camber lines and, in models like the Supernatural 92, very little elevation at the tip.  A 5-point sidecut with tapered tip and tail sections suggests a predisposition to smear every turn, but the Supernatural actually gets to the edge in a jiffy and holds on admirably.  “Typical Line,” penned one of our test panel, “Huge sweet spot, easy to ski, FUN to ski!”

In short, the Supernatural 92 doesn’t ski like a floppy pipe-and-park noodle, but like a playful yet purposeful all-mountain ski.  As with the Prophet series that preceded it, the Supernatural models have just enough metal to lend stability without suffocating the pop in their glass elements.  The overriding virtue of the Supernatural 92 is that it provides for great skiing without requiring it of its handler.
