We have long been fans of the men&#8217;s Origin series, especially the 96 and 106. They hold up at high speeds in choppy backbowls, surf fresh powder, and carve great for early, late, or dry-season shredding. As an added bonus, they always dress well for the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, Liberty has been tinkering with the construction of its frontside and all-mountain skis. To that end, they rolled out VMT technology with the release of their V-Series two years ago. The gist? Vertical metal struts (much less common than the typical horizontal metal) in the core of the skis work with carbon stringers to provide dampness, power, and stability at surprisingly low weights. That construction defines the VMT core in the men&#8217;s skis and the VMT women&#8217;s core in the women&#8217;s. The only difference is the addition of lightweight paulownia on the women&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>Then last year, Liberty rolled out a tweaked version of that construction in two brand-new all-mountain skis and called them the evolv series. With new sidewalls and wider waist widths, they shredded. So for 2021, Liberty, well, evolvs the line even further with two more men&#8217;s versions and a new women&#8217;s line.<\/p>\n<p>After all that fiddling, Liberty lands in a great spot. Their four collections are easy to understand for skiers with abundant and often confusing choices. And we know they ski great.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/shop\/cat=skis&amp;year=2021\"><em>Shop our full selection of 2021 skis<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10211\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10211\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10211 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lib1.jpg\" alt=\"liberty skis 2021\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lib1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lib1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lib1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lib1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Same old time-tested construction and new paint for the men&#8217;s Origin series in 2021.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>What&#8217;s New<\/h3>\n<p>Two more models in the men&#8217;s evolv series: <strong>e<\/strong><strong>volv 84<\/strong> and <strong>evolv 110<\/strong>.
