I've heard of a new Lib Tech with some rocker, but I'd like to see confirmation by photos/catalog specs.

Stiffest fucking skis ever. They've a long way to go and even to me, as a owner, the magnetraction seems... gimmicky. They do hold an edge real well, but that may be because I'm used to Madens.

if i wanted a lib tech pow ski i would buy two banana hamocks, those things are sick, but yeah lib tech skis are way to stiff to be fun, but thats my opinion

a ski like the banana board would be sick. But not as stiff as there other skis seem to be

That's great. I never said that I didn't. I have heard from several sources that Lib Tech does have a very sick reverse camber ski out for next year. I am just saying his post would have done more good with pictures.

Haha ok, I didn't mean to put you down or anything. Just explaining your hype would have paid off more with pictures. And if you're not going to share information/pictures, I will find out eventually.

Pow skis do not need magnetraction. It is a gimmick. How is a goofy wobbly edge going to help you in deep snow. The idea seems like it would work on hardpack as a park ski, but not on a pow ski.

Yeah but it can't hurt the skis either. What about when you're done riding the powder and need to ride the hard pack to get back to the lift.

Its the same thing as the awesome banana technology they use in their boards. the 07-08 skate banana was the best selling snowboard in utah this past season, the new ones are getting out now and people are getting on them pronto. im gunning for the 08-09 NAS Pow recurves myself. Based on the quality and response from their boards im hoping the skis are as good.

Im not gonna lie i was a little turned off when the elitist rep said "ohhhh, broooo, these arent skis, theyre just really narrow snowboardssssss" but in this case the proof is in the pudding based on my observations

I call it a gimmick because I believe if you gave me a ski of the same dimension and flex I doubt I'd feel any improved edge. I think its the stiffness more than anything that has people raving about these skis.

see thats what i thought but they're ... skis. i mean, lib calls them snowboards whatever, and snowboarding is cooler and all of that, and lib is like super hilarious in a hip, totally not-too-trendy-quite-yet way, but.... they are actually skis. i mean, come on. lib calls the core material "morning wood."
