The Sick Day 102 from Line is a new model in the Sick Day collection - designed for the backcountry skier who wants a lightweight, versatile ski that can easily be used for short tours.

First impressions for this new ski is that they perform really well across a huge variety of terrain. Yes, they are more at home in the powder snow than anywhere else but seem to handle groomed slopes with ease, certainly enough to keep you happy on that ride home should the powder not be an option.

If you had to create a shortlist for that one ski of the trip title, this one would definitely be on it.

The Sick Day models are designed to be light and although they have a wood core construction, its produced in a way that keeps the ski weight low whilst ensuring strength is retained.

There's also a more specific ski touring version of the Sick Day 102 called the Sick Day Tourist that also has a special notch on the tail for skin attachment (like the 102) and is even lighter in weight, making an ideal touring ski for expert skiers.

The Sick Day 102 would suit all advanced to expert skiers looking to explore away from the marked runs and the fact they are easy to ride suggests that they'd be a good choice for someone who's had a taste for powder skiing and wants to start making that a more regular experience.

Hopefully, your sick day will be better than most others.
