Pretty good ski, insanely light! Would leave the park for too long with this ski because it is only 83 underfoot. Little bit too stiff for my and it gets quite a few chips, but, it won't break because it's made of bamboo but chips it the side wall really piss me off! Maintains itself at high speed and the pop is good. All around good ski!

Performance
This ski was insane! Loved it soo much. Really light. The edges come fairly dull so i didn't have to spend a lot of time trying to dull them.
Design
Personally I thought the graphics were absolutely sick. Not sure about the feel hence what i said above they were a little small on me.
Value
I paid $480 on The House Boardshop. Definitely would get them again for the same price or even higher. If you look though you can find them under $400
Fit
Runs true to size. I got the 164 when i was 5'8" 115, probably should of at least a 171. I did grow quite a bit, but all thats my fault.
Characteristics
Soft in the tip and tail stiff underfoot. Really nice for butters with the nose and tail flex, but I still didn't feel unstable at all when landing on a 70 foot step-up.
Durability
After grinding trees, hitting many rails, and backyard setup they held up awesome. No edge cracks. A little topsheet chipping
Overall
LTE is an amazing ski. What i like about the LTE, is that they have crazy amounts of pop and are VERY light. They are a little soft around the tips but due to the core they become super stiff farther in which provides very nice support for landing on jumps. also, They have special edges that are heat treated and different hardness levels which are very nice on rails. When I got my first pair of LTEs I thought i would need to get them detuned like all new pairs of skis, but when i went and hit rails, the soft edges even though they were sharp, didnt catch. They kill it on the groomers also. Finally, the durableness of the skis are awesome. I rode one pair of LTEs all season long last year (over 100 days) and out at hood AND on my summer setup and there are only 2 edge cracks and everything else is still perfect. Not only are these skis amazing right now but Liberty is constantly trying to make them even better. There a sick company and make sick skis i would definitely recommend buying a pair.
