An accessible entry to the Line freestyle world, the Line Honey Badger is a twin-tip park ski that doesn't care how you treat it. An aspen veneer core, lightweight construction, and twin tip shape combine for a ski that's at home on rails, jumps, and natural features without the price tag of a flagship park ski.

Why we like it:

The Honey Badger's calling card is the price-to-performance ratio. You get real freestyle ski credentials in a package that's accessible to skiers just stepping into the park, and the Carbon Ollieband means the ski actually presses and butters like the more expensive options.

Who it's for:

Intermediate through advanced park skiers, including those just stepping into freestyle. A great option for skiers who want to learn jib tricks without investing in a top-tier park ski.

Highlights:

The Honey Badger keeps the construction simple but smart. Aspen veneer core for a snappy, reactive feel, plus the Carbon Ollieband that you find in the rest of the freestyle line for press and butter reinforcement. The 92mm waist is a touch wider than the TW Pro and makes the ski more versatile for all-mountain duty when you wander outside the park. The 3-4-3 rocker profile is more subtle than the Blend's, which means the ski locks onto carves a little better and feels more like a real ski underneath you when you're not in the park. There's no Bio-Resin or Thick-Cut Sidewalls here; those features are reserved for the more expensive TW Pro and Bacon collection. But for a skier who wants to ride rails, learn spins, and butter through groomers without dropping the cash on a flagship freestyle ski, the Honey Badger covers all the bases. With a 19.5-meter radius at the 177cm length, it skis bigger than its park-style design suggests.

Things to consider:

The simpler construction means less durability than the TW Pro or the Bacon line for skiers who really pound their skis on street features. If you live for urban rails and abuse, step up to the TW Pro. The Honey Badger is built for the resort park and beyond.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizes true to length. Pick a length close to your height for general park use; size down for rail-focused skiing.
