2026 Line Pandora 106

The Line Pandora 106 is an easy and fun-loving freeride ski that has a lot of upsides. Built with a sturdy feel and a playful shape, the Pandora 106 is a soft snow specialist that’s easy and fun to use. With a bit of heft to it, the Pandora 106 does function quite well both on and off-trail. We found a surprising amount of stability and power in a carved turn on groomers, despite the fact that it’s not really intended and designed for that use. It’s more of a bonus, and we’re fine with that.

Built with an aspen veneer wood core, the Pandora 106 is a relatively simple ski. Line uses their Bio Resin for a lower environmental impact, and they also implement their Thick Cut Sidewalls here for added damping. The thicker the sidewalls, the more they act as a vertical laminate, reducing vibrations and adding stability to the ski. Underfoot, these skis feel quite sturdy, and that’s reflected in the stated weight of 2160 grams per ski in the 183 cm length. We get lengths spanning from 155 to 189, so many skiers are covered here. Tester Noah Labow kept his feedback short and sweet following scores of 10/10 for playfulness and overall impression. He states: “Love this ski. Any terrain, this ski is fun and forgiving.”

At 106 mm underfoot, there’s certainly a soft and deep snow bias here, but this ski is not limited to that. With measurements of 134/106/126, this ski is all about balance. There’s slight symmetry here with not a lot of drop in overall taper, leading to that playfulness that Noah was talking about. Pandora 106 uses more tip rocker than tail, but still keeps a very twin-tip oriented style to the ski. Those measurements generate an 18.4-meter turn radius in the 183, which is right in the middle, leading to a well-rounded feel. Tester Christian Strong says that he “thought this was a playful ski given the larger width. Very fun turns through the springtime corn snow.”

There should be a big audience here, as the Pandora 106 is not only a unisex model, but also one that spans various snow conditions and terrain. It makes a great tree ski due to the flotation and mobility, but also works really well on-trail, especially for not having metal and being on the wider side. This is a highly enjoyable ski that makes soft snow easy and fun and not a lot of work. On the bonus side, you get a bit of heft and stability to increase confidence and power throughout.
