cbgskiGood ski used them one day at timberline as my main filet knife, edges come very sharp and cut meat very well, no trouble with tendons either would highly recommend.
cbgskiOn a more useful note though, they ski very well, soft enough but definitely stable, you can notice the rocker in the tips and tails along with their shape which makes them pretty playful. As far as durability cant say yet since my season ended with them slicing my arm practically in half, but after 2 days of hard park skiing there was no visible wear really at all.
Crabbeski_NBThey are one of the funnest park skis i've ridden since i owned phil larose pros. The almost symmetrical design and pre rocker allow for easy spinning skiing switch or forward. I went from 181 heads to these and i found rails easier and had more stability. The flex pattern is really good and allows for easy buttering but also is stiff enough to land deep. I am 5'11 and 165lbs for reference. I bought these off powder7.com for 250$ USD currently still are in 184cm paired them with head mojo 18s. As I only had 2 days on them before i separated my shoulder, i cant say to durability yet but my previous liberties held up well and still had all the edges after a year. I ride east coast of Canada and do backyard jibbing and generally skis only last half season before showing durability issues. Also the edges are super sharp as previously mentioned, i would suggest detuning if rails are day today to reduce primary edge cracking and reduces catching an edge.
nolliebackflipI heard that the edges are 2.2 mm so does anyone have any experience of the durability???
mystery3At $270 how much durability is good durability? Maybe take a flyer if you like everything else about the ski and hope for the best?
nolliebackflipThey cost 400..?

nolliebackflipAt 270 i think good durability is that in the end of the season the skis haven't snapped and the edges are still on their place. I'm really light so skis gotta be very poorly made if i can break them.
mystery3Makes sense. What size are you looking for? The gearcoop link has the 2018 model 176 and 184 for $240. I've never skied anything from Liberty, but handling them in a shop the look well built fwiw. Hopefully someone who's skied them hard for three seasons will comment and you can feel confident buying them.
