TECHNOLOGY
- Liberty Core
Aspen/Birch laminate core with Carbon fiber stringers to provide snap and flex while maintaining torsional rigidity necessary for edge grip. Carbon fiber also keeps the core light and strong while the wood gives it responsiveness and a solid feel.
- Liberty Air Core
Liberty Core with the addition of a triaxial fiber wrap to provide impact resistance and durability in park skis. Creates a very light and durable core, that will flex enough to ollie or butter with ease, yet damps vibrations on hard landings.
- Liberty Hard Core
Liberty Core with the addition of a titanal metal layer to provide extra torsional rigidity and damping in a wide ski. Unique shape allows vertical flexibility in the tip and tail for easy turn initiation, and goes all the way to the vertical sidewall for superior edge grip.
- Progressive Radius Sidecut
Three different radius turn shapes gradually increasing in size from tip to tail for easy turn initiation, and varying turn shape.
- P-Tex 3000 Base
Tough, fast, waxes well. Enough said.
- Cab Forward Stance
Our name for a progressive, more centered stance needed for spinning moves and riding switch.
- Rockwell Edges
Our Snowboarder friends taught us well. Rockwells are fatter and tougher for durability on rails and landing big airs.
- Integrated Cap
Creates a tough sidewall and helps direct pressure to the edges.
- Vertical Sidewalls
Increase edge grip, especially on wider skis where the turning forces are farther away.
- Fat Head
Elongated and elevated tip on our big mountain skis creates extra surface area in deep snow, and creates a shorter, easier turning surface when on the groomed. Fun to say too.
