I am a Line Pandora convert

[zoomchick]

Last week I ordered a pair of Pandoras, un-demoed and crossed my fingers that they would work out. Holy smokes, they are awesome.

I tried them yesterday (at Mammoth, for my last couple runs) on the groomers and was surprised at how stable they were at speed. I didn't let them go as I had no idea what they could do.

Today, after 8 inches of snow, they are a whole new beast.
Floaty, responsive, agile. My one complaint (not really) is they FLY.
The hardest part was learning to reign them in.
They love wide arcing turns in the fresh stuff but I had them in the trees with 6 inches to spare around tree wells. They cut through the crud and I don't have to worry about catching an edge on cut up mush, even at speed.
Unbelievable. My husband who just got new K2 Aftershocks was a bit jealous. He kept telling me I look like a ski jumper.

FYI, I am 5'3, 115lbs and I am on 162s with Marker Schizo bindings.

I usually don't like same color pants/jacket but my am pants were snowed out so I had to have a wardrobe change

Glad to hear your decision was rewarded!

I thought they were a lot of fun as well, and they were my second favorite ski when I demoed powder skis a few weeks ago. The Atomics got the edge because I could see skiing on them more days, but the Pandoras can't be beat as a pure powder ski.

Just picked up a brand-new pair of these on eBay (2011 model) for $325. I demo'd them a couple of weekends ago and had so much fun. I'm so excited!!

I wonder how they compared to the Armada VJJ which got great reviews online too for powder?

Oh no... I just picked up my laptop to order the Armada TSTw's... But now I'm second guessing myself! ARG!

Nice! I demo'd the Celebrity 100 and had a lot of fun on them in 1 inch of early season fluff. I may be looking at Line when my Nomads eventually wear out. (Although actually, there's going to be a rockered Nomad next season ... very tempting!)
