Anyone tried Lib tech skis?

I need a new pair of somewhat wide skis and the magne-traction is interesting to me. My friend rides a lib tech snowboard and even with his edges destroyed from riding in the park he said he is able to hold an edge really well. I kinda want something that is mostly for carving and powder and the magne-traction seems like it will be really nice just cause I like to dick around on any pair of skis but still want to hold an edge. Thanks!

The UFO 100 seems interesting. I don't need anything crazy wide cause mid-west doesn't get a shit ton of snow but my little local hill has some solid powder days. Never really ridden anything with that much tip and tail rocker on anything but powder so my main concern is that I will buy them and only use them a few times a year or that it won't give the response I like when I am skiing groomers or choppy stuff. I work at a shop that carries lib tech but we never have any demo skis but I will be able to get them super cheap which is nice

That's the ski my buddy spent all of last season on charging through Colorado snow and mostly skiing bumps. He loved it to death but it's definitely a more playful ski from what I've seen, hope it helps... I can also ask him some questions for ya if you need

Oh sick. The nice thing is, I have a pair of Nordica OMW's that I use for freeriding and I love how they feel carving and holding an edge. They are kinda similar to something like the Volkl Kendo or any basic ski like that. Has he said anything about how it compares to something like those?

I think you'll find that the UFO will charge harder than those skis and make you feel really confident on just about any terrain including park. It'll be a different ride than your Nordica skis but a damn fun one

Anyone have experience on the Backwards? I can get a solid deal from my shop and kind of want to try them.

LibTech makes some wicked awesome surfboards, and they have that Patent on serrated edges where is has like 4 or 5 little waves on the side cut... I kinda want to try it out, but wouldnt buy a pair until I demo'd em...


I once saw an old guy rippin a pair and I asked him about them on the lift, but all I got in response was silence....
