Surface for sure, no one ever really talks about them. But they make a sick ski the LL2s are f---ing amazing, super chill owners. sick team. over all they should be the talk of the town for the skis that they make.

The fact that they are a company based in Verbier, CH

I lived in Nendaz, CH working in a shop. We tested all there skis over 3 seasons. As did most the locals as we do demos for a few brands in March of next years skis....

And not one had a positive review. thats alot of people to say they are crap....

Plus when they first signed Yvan Metrailler, about the first 5 pairs of skis they gave him broke until they gave him a factory model or something like that...

But no it's not stupid.... they aren't underrated. They shouldn't be rated.

Liberty got a bit of a bad rep from the first skis they made; but in the last 3 years the quality has skyrocketed, and the bamboo core is awesome; however a lot of people stll rate them on the first couple of season's skis.

The Genome will be one of the best big pow skis out there IMO, light, 140 underfoot, with full rocker but standard camber and sidecut underfoot so you can ski it on piste as well.

I think that they are a hell of a lot better than some people think, and not known about as much as they should be, therefore underrated.

yeah but other than that they are sick skis and ride super well.  i've run into the problem too. some part of the sidewall are down to fiberglass shards. idk if it just because its cap sidewall contruction or if theres another reason.

PMGEAR is the most fucking awesomest company ever.   Ther are so fucking awesome they probably wouldn't even sell to you little piece of shit 12 year olds.  THAT IS HOW AWESOME THEY ARE!!  You would beg to be able to buy from them and they would tell you to fuck off!!

This might be true, I've never skied a pair, but considering Anthony Boronowski and Hayden Price both switched over to Surface from Armada and Line respectively recently, I imagine they must be alright.
