Line Skis Après Bootie

originUnited States

The Line Skis Après Bootie is a specialized type of footwear designed for comfort and warmth after a day on the slopes. These booties are part of Line Skis' lifestyle collection, focusing on the fun, post-activity culture of winter sports.

Originally founded in a garage in New York by Jason Levinthal in the mid-1990s, Line Skis played a pivotal role in the development of freestyle skiing and twin-tip technology. The brand's identity has always been rooted in American ski culture and innovation.

Today, Line Skis is a prominent brand under the K2 Sports umbrella. Since 2017, the ultimate owner has been Kohlberg & Company, an American private equity firm that acquired K2 Sports (and its various brands like Line and Full Tilt) from Newell Brands. While the brand management and design are headquartered in Seattle, Washington, manufacturing for the soft goods and footwear lines primarily takes place in China.
