I'm in the market for a new pair of skis and was wondering what people think of Liberty's

I have the antigens. They are insanely soft so if you want that in a ski they are a perfect. They get mad chattery on groomers if you are ripping though and can be interesting in the powder. A really fun ski when there is no good snow or for spring.

I rode the LTE's this season and they were an awesome for me. Super light, poppy, and playful ski and they still held up well on jumps. The swing weight is so light making spinning on and off rails really fun and easy. The only negative thing is that they only lasted me a few months before snapping at the tail from a fall that wasn't even too big. If you're kinda of the lighter side and aren't going too huge in the park, I'd say they are an awesome ski for you.

I would fully reccomend the LTE! I'm currently riding a pair and they've held up in the park and on groomers. They have classic camber so they're extremely snappy for rails and they're stiff enough to hold up on jumps

I've ridden the Helix and I continue to ride the Genome.  My thoughts are that these skis are light and snappy, quick, low swing weight and super fun.  Even the Genome manages to be nimble and snappy.  I weigh 225 with no breaking issues and seriously enjoy them.

LTE is a real sick ski. I've had a pair for a while, and they're dope. Super light and soft. After 80ish heavy park days they're starting to take a beating though...

Ive got the antigens and i honestly can't find much to say about them that isn't positive, a bit soft for jumps but you get used to it.

sick !

i really recomend liberty pow skis, the DHs are the ultimate stiff and light pow ski with early rise.. (i love mine)

parkwise their ski are increibly fun, I've skied both the LTE and the Antigens and they are so much fun, so light and poppy and buttery... but they wont last an entire season (if you ski hard)..

between all of my friends there are like 6 pairs of liberty park skis (including mine) and 1 morphics.. All but one hasent broken... either the tails start seperating, or the tip or tail break.. i broke mine after a month of skiing...

i went over to the Liberty HQ in Avon and got a new pair under
thier warenty, the dudes there are super chill..


but yeah liberty is a super legit company
keep it colorado local

the morphics are a super dope ski. I ride the helix, morphic, and LTE and the morphics are dope in the park, ripping groomers, or shredding big mountain/pow. I feel like they will work well for you. They're wide enough for every day ripping (94 or 94 underfoot) and you can stomp big jumps/cliffs on em.

Thanks for the quick reply. +k

How about nimble in the trees? And how is the base and edge durability? Base speed? Core flex?

Sorry for jumbled responses, i am really tired.

there not too wide but wide enough to stay up on soft snow in the trees. No trouble maneuvering them. I havent had a problem with the bases or edges yet, prolly 50 days on em this season. Flex is the same as most liibertys, playful but not too whippy, Obviously you break em in over time.

Morphics do not like hard snow much, they are pretty epic in anything soft or new and they pull up short, my 181s were more 177 tip to tail. They also work far better for lighter skiers.

Im pretty sure were not talking about the same skis. I'm pretty sure a 94mm waisted, full camber will be fine on hard snow

They are pretty soft and do not hold an edge that well, esp compared to my piste skis (Salomon 24 hours) yes its a bit unfair them to something with two sheets of metal in but they do not carve well on harder snow esp for heaver skiers like myself. Im not the only one to think it I lent my set to my mate for a week and he came to the same conclusions I did, these are not for aggressive piste skiers. While I dont expect them to be a GS ski in the style of my Salomons their edge grip compared to my last all mountains (Fischer Watea 84's in 185) was also not as great, they were better than the Fischers in softer snow and slush and powder in every way though.
