I'm really sorry to break (no pun intended) it to you, but they won't last the season if you can ski at all.

I know, but I've got no sympathy for the kid crying to his mommy with a pair of broken libertys. I saw a kid totally delaminate a pair of stealths last weekend.

The last pair of broken stealths I saw didn't even get warrantied, despite the fact that there were massive quality issues with the skis that year. In fact, Liberty was made aware of the situation, and decided that honouring their warranty wasn't something they planned on doing. The skis couldn't even be shipped back, and they sat around for a damn long time, until the guy got new skis and threw his busted stealths into the trash, where they belonged in the first place.

I'm stoked you're happy with your skis, and I hope, for your sake, that Liberty has made improvements with their skis.

he's saying if your a good skier, they won't last, as in, he thinks they will break. i've heard liberty has stepped up this year, hopefully their skis wont snap so easy

have you ever ridden them? have you ever seen a pair break? is this based on actual experience and not ns? if you answered no to any of the aforementioned questions, your response doesnt mean shit. dont trust ns without any type of discretion, this is a bandwagon HAVEN.

Was riding a pair of of 05 stealths (originals) that same season... sometime in March they started to slightly delam underfoot, but were still made a rideable rail ski with an epoxy job. I wrote Liberty an email and let them know. Asked if they needed pictures or the skis... they told me to ride the skis until they were dead and they sent me a pair of their 06 stealths the next summer once they finished production. I never sent them pictures or the skis. Their original line had some serious issues, but from my experience I wouldn't say they were never planning on honoring their warranty.
