The all-new 2025 Line Pandora 99 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is designed to excel in any snow condition, making it a versatile choice for unpredictable days on the mountain. With its lightweight core and Thick-Cut sidewalls, the Pandora 99 offers an intuitive and energetic ride. It provides the power needed to carve on hardpack while maintaining nimbleness in soft snow. The mid-fat waist width ensures ample float when the snow conditions become more challenging. We paired the Pandora 99 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The Pandora 99 is a playful and maneuverable ski, perfect for skiers seeking a single option that can handle diverse conditions and terrain.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers will find the Pandora 99 enjoyable and capable of delivering performance across various snow conditions.

Highlights:

For 2025, the Line Pandora 99 has been updated to enhance its intuitiveness and versatility. The Thick-Cut Sidewalls are a standout feature, working in conjunction with the light and lively Aspen Veneer wood core to optimize the ski's performance in both hard and soft snow. By increasing material under the binding and significantly thinning it in the tips and tails, Line has crafted a ski that offers strong grip on firm snow and flexibility in the tips and tails for improved maneuverability in softer conditions. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

Heavier and more aggressive skiers might find the tips and tails of the Pandora 99 too soft for their liking. They may prefer skis that provide more uniform stiffness for better driving power.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The skis fit true to size.
