DESCRIPTION
Eric’s skis are as unique as his style of riding. They are a pure extension of his own creativity and ongoing enthusiasm to get out on snow each day and have the time of his life. Every detail in each of his skis, from their dimensions, to their construction, and even the paint strokes in the graphics have been created by Eric.
His Freestyle Backcountry skis are some of his most essential tools, needed to support his and our personal quest, to continually push the sport further in every possible way.
Designed by Eric Pollard, the Elizabeth is where it all began in 2005-2006 and has been a sell out at the start of every season since! This year, as before, Eric designed the entire ski - graphics, dimensions & construction.
The original concept for the Elizabeth took seed in 2005 when Eric decided to develop the most unconventional yet progressive freestyle ski ever made. His goal was for the Elizabeth to handle less like a traditional ski and more like a snowboard.
After months of prototyping Eric finally succeeded, working with the LINE R&D team he found the winning combination, incorporating a unique symmetric flex pattern with extra deep elliptical snowboard-like sidecut, a slant sidewall construction and -- a bunch of other secret ingredients we can’t share. The result is a fun, freestyle snowboard-like feel with incredible freestyle agility, especially in the deep stuff.
This is the freestyle powder ski of the future. Enjoy!
What did Scottish ski guru Rick Hutchings have to say after skiing the Elizabeth by Eric Pollard?
"The Elizabeth was the big surprise from the magician that is Eric Pollard, who stated, “I want my skis to ride the same as my snowboard”… consider it done! In a 172cm, this ski has tremendous edge hold at all speeds, on or off piste. One continuous flex through the full length of ski provides the smoothest ride that you are likely to experience in a fat ski. This is nothing short of a masterpiece."
