Liberty Origin Backcountry

While designed primarily for backcountry exploration, its construction is versatile enough for all-mountain resort use. The aspen and carbon fiber core provides a predictable, energetic feel that performs well on groomed runs, though its lightweight nature is optimized for skinning and remote terrain.

The 106mm waist is a sweet spot for versatility, offering enough float for deep powder while remaining quick edge-to-edge on firmer snow. The backcountry rocker profile further enhances this by keeping the tips afloat in soft snow without sacrificing stability on harder pack.

The partial metal edge is a strategic design choice that balances durability with weight savings. It provides the necessary reinforcement and grip for demanding alpine descents where you need confidence, without the added weight of a full-metal laminate ski.

The tail insert is specifically designed to securely hold standard climbing skin clips, preventing them from slipping off during steep ascents. It is compatible with most modern backcountry skin systems, making transitions faster and more reliable.

Weighing between 1550g and 1740g depending on the length, these skis are engineered to be light enough for efficient touring without feeling flimsy or unstable on the descent. This weight range strikes a balance between uphill ease and the downhill performance required for varied backcountry terrain.
