Liberty Origin

While it features a central metal strut for stability and dampness, this ski is designed primarily for a playful, slashy feel in soft snow rather than pure carving performance. It holds an edge well, but advanced skiers looking for a dedicated groomer-crusher might find it a bit too loose compared to a traditional directional ski.

The 106mm waist is the sweet spot for versatility, providing enough float for deep powder days while remaining quick edge-to-edge on tracked-out resort snow. It is wide enough to handle soft, natural terrain but narrow enough to navigate bumps and tighter chutes without feeling sluggish.

Not at all. The twin tail, combined with the rounded shape, actually makes the ski more maneuverable by allowing you to release the tail easily at the end of a turn. This is a significant advantage when you need to pivot quickly in tight trees or steep, technical lines.

This ski is built for advanced to expert riders who prioritize a surfy, energetic ride over a locked-in, race-like feel. If you enjoy hunting for side hits, skiing natural terrain, and want a ski that feels intuitive in powder, this is a great fit.

The blend of poplar, bamboo, and paulownia creates a unique balance of weight and liveliness. Poplar provides the backbone and stability, bamboo adds energy and snap, and paulownia keeps the overall weight down, resulting in a ski that feels damp and substantial without being heavy or fatiguing.
