Find Freedom With Liberty Skis

Step1
Wear skis designed by a professional when you choose the Phil Larose Pro Model. This design may not be for everyone however, as it comes in one length only--178 cm. However, it features bamboo inserts which help these pipe and park skis respond on the rebound.
Step2
Check out Liberty's KGB series which features the company's signature "cab forward" design. This pushes the center of gravity forward on the ski, enhancing spins and riding switches.
Step3
Try the Liberty SB series all-mountain skis if you are looking for a more versatile ski and park experience. With the same bamboo laminate construction as the Larose model, this ski also features a medium flex and softer tips and tails to provide making for a more well-rounded ski.
Step4
Buy a wider ski like the Liberty C-Note if you are looking for a ski that will float across the snowy downs. Its unique shape also provides you with a more responsive turn on those downhill runs.
Step5
Give the Women's G-Note line a spin for a twin-tip floaty ride down the mountain. Built with the same "Cab-forward stance" concept as Liberty's unisex skis, this ski also features increased edge grip to help you maintain control on the go.
Step6
Check out Liberty's line of logo apparel if you want to complete the independent shredder look on the slopes. You can look like members of the Liberty pro-team such as Phil Larose, Pip Simmonds and Alex Lallier.
Step7
Find dealers who sell Liberty Skis in your area on Liberty's website (see Resources below). You can also buy their skis directly from the source through their online store.

Tips & Warnings

  • Try before you buy, especially if you are a novice skier. Most ski resorts and parks operate ski rental shops which offer a wide range of ski boots, bindings and skis, including offerings by Liberty. If you have a long ski trip planned, consider trying several pairs before you decide which ski you will ultimately buy.
  • Liberty caters to the more "extreme" park and pipe skier so be prepared to catch some air when you don your new pair of Libertys.
