Liberty Skis 2025: First Look
Liberty not only fuels Pow7 athlete Doug Evans, but skiers everywhere. Down the road from us here in Colorado, their skis scream Colorado core skiers. After a few seasons of running their Origin and Evolv series back, the crew at Liberty is dropping an entirely new ski collection. Moving their ski production to Europe and bringing in some fresh design features, Liberty has a lot to be excited about for this upcoming season.
What’s New
There are two brand new collections out of the three new collections from Liberty; the directional freeride Horizon for women and Radian for men, and the “fun” freeride Scope series. The versatile twin Helix series returns, with some updates.
First, let’s talk Scope. The Scope replaces the Origin/Genesis series, as a rockered freeride ski that leans on the playful and more maneuverable side of things. Liberty uses an intuitive shape with a lot of tip and tail rocker, but not in a true twin shape. That gives you a good balance of solid contact with the snow on edge, but remains easy to pivot and turn when terrain gets tight. The Scope uses poplar and ash as a wood core, blending stability and poppiness. Liberty offers this model in a Scope 94W, Scope 94, 104, and 110.
On the more directional, charge-y front, the Horizon and Radian. These skis replace the Evolv series, with three new models: Horizon 92 for women, and the Radian 92 and Radian 100. Both skis feature an updated version of VMT—from “vertical metal” to “variable metal technology”. There’s a full sheet of metal underfoot, that tapers into the tip and tail. The core is made up of ash and poplar, with carbon stringers. On snow, these felt intuitive and quick. The squared-off flat tail was supportive on carves and holding a turn, but the construction felt pretty light and quick. We’re stoked to get more time on these.
Other Highlights
The Helix gets a couple updates for the season, without reinventing the wheel. Liberty softened the tips and tails, while keeping the mid foot of the ski stiff.
Nothing else for now. In the meantime, check out Doug Evans ripping.
