east coast skier here stuck between deciding what ski to purchase, just bought some moment reno rockers for park only, but want a ski that I can ride in both the park and all mountain. they both have a similar sidecut except the liberty is 10+ underfoot more....I noticed the 10 JO's have more sidecut the 09s but i cant get them for that price....So i'm thinking by adding more sidecut underfoot would be the way to go for landing kickers and jibbing it up, but maybe a lil less would benefit me for those hardpack days where i can ride that edge out with out washing. I don't plan on jibbing much with these skis just steep groomers and 40+ kickers. any feedback would be awesome

oh and one more thing i noticed that differentiates the two is that the Liberty's have "cab forward" mount position, do the 09 Olssons recommend a center mount??? Also does Olsson ski completely center mount I know some pros don't ride center mount obviously depends on the ski but with a non symetrical ski for 20%jib. 40%jump 40%all mountain i like the idea of a ski having a "cab forward" design

First, there isn't a 2010 Larose, it's either the 2010 LTE or the 09 Larose...the only difference is the flex, but in this case, that's kinda important.
If you thinking the LTE (Liberty Team Edition), then they're stiffer underfoot which is really nice for all mountain carving. If it's the Larose, they still carve really nice, they can be just a bit wobbly, especially off larger jumps.
The JO Pros are really nice, but I wasn't super stoked on them all mountain, they didn't feel like there was anything under my feet.
Personally, I'd got with the LTE, they're still really light, but they carve AMAZINGLY, and are super fun all over the mountain.

Ya the LTEs sound like the way to go but I can't find them as cheap as the Laroses????? I couldnt find the 10 LTEs for less then $450 while the Laroses and Olssons are at $250
