Has anyone tried these. Just heard about them today. I'm curious how the snowboard style edge will hold in the park.

POW NAS is where its at. Ski fucking rips. The jib NAS is fun too. Here is a little edit of me skiing them.

dude it works. I've been on a couple of pairs (only a handful of times) and definitly noticed they can grip solid snow very well without super sharp edges. would likely be a bitch to tune though!

How many people actually sharpen park skis though. i could see it being useful on zero camber skis like the domains when trying to dig an edge in, but i wonder how it would effect edging on rails. might not feel as consistant or predictable

Rode some of these in Vail and Beaver Creek last year and they were fucking awesome. Once I got on them I didn't even touch my AR6s for the rest of the trip.

Libtech's prodcut is very quality! The magna-tracktion is a basic design, not a gimmick... look how a steak knife cuts with serated edges... sameee idea...

I havent spent much time on these skis, however i have spent lots of time with them in my hand at the shop i work with and i think these are a greaaaaat product!

i suggest you do not buy lib tech skis if you are going to ride rails, within a season of riding the edge got ripped out of my jib nas, and is now cracked in 3 places. i cannot say anything about the performance of their powder skis but i found my skis had good pop on jumps and were very light on my feet.

I've loved my pow nas. They are definitely stiffer than I originally anticipated they would be. The only two gripes I've had with them is that I think they have too much sidecut for a 191 pow ski. They can hook pretty bad when hauling ass. The other is that they are damn heavy, but maybe that is the price for solid construction.

Construction has been burly though and the edges held up super well skiing an easy 50 days at Alta/Bird.

I'd love to try their new pow ski.
