Lib Tech UFO

The squared-off tip shape increases the surface area at the contact points, which provides a more stable platform for presses, butters, and jibbing. It essentially gives you a more predictable feel when you are locking into rails or boxes.

While these are designed as dedicated park skis, the 95mm waist and Magne-Traction edge technology make them surprisingly capable on hardpack. You will find them stable enough for cruising between park laps, though they are not intended for deep powder or high-speed carving.

Lib Tech's Eco Light construction focuses on reducing swing weight without sacrificing structural integrity. It uses a lightweight wood core that is durable enough to withstand the repeated impacts of rail riding and park sessions, though it is engineered more for agility than for heavy-duty big mountain charging.

The extended rocker zones in the tip and tail make the ski very playful and forgiving, which helps with pivoting and buttering. However, because there is less effective edge contact compared to a fully cambered ski, you will need to be precise with your landings to maintain stability on larger jumps.

With a flex rating of 5.5-6.5, the UFO sits in a sweet spot for freestyle riding. It is soft enough to be playful and poppy for presses, but stiff enough to hold its own when you are setting up for a jump or navigating firmer snow conditions.
