Liberty
Skis is proud to announce that the brand has partnered with U.S. Freeskiing to
become an official U.S.Freeskiing Supplier. “We are very excited to be able to
support the U.S. Ski Team and their Olympic athletes,” says Chairman and
Founder James Satloff. “It’s an honor to be part of U.S. Skiing, and we look
forward to helping the next generation of Olympians reach their goals in
Sochi.”
Liberty
is no stranger to freeskiing. The innovative Colorado brand has a strong
tradition of working with young athletes, including park and pipe skiers.
Currently Kendall Deighan, ranked 5th in the USA in halfpipe is
riding on Liberty.
“Liberty
has been incredibly supportive,” says Kendall Deighan. “They understand the commitment and hard work that
it takes to reach the Olympics, and they know that having the best equipment is
essential to competing at the highest level. I hope to represent the USA in
Sochi, and when I do, I’ll be riding Liberty Skis.”
“We’ve
always believed that freesking will eventually become an Olympic discipline, and
with the announcement by the International Ski Federation (FIS) earlier this
year that halfpipe and slopestyle would be medal events in Sochi, the next logical
step was supporting our homegrown athletes and U.S. Freesking,” adds Liberty
President and co-founder Dan Chalfant. “It’s an honor to help these talented
athletes work towards the next Olympic games in Sochi and future Games.”
Based in
Avon, Colorado, Liberty manufactures a full line of high performance twin-tip
skis for park, pipe and big-mountain skiing. The brand’s products are consistently
ranked among the best, with this year’s line-up winning 14 “Editor’s Picks” or
other awards. You can learn more about the company at libertyskis.com.
