Liberty Helix Ski
Great ski, but maybe not a one to rule them all…
By Jason Robinson
Ranked #510 - Alpine Fat Skis
April 14, 2009
First trip out with 13 inches new on top of a really soft base thanks to some of the greatest spring storms ever. Loved them in the powder. They felt light, quick and could turn effortlessly at any speed even after the snow was getting tracked out. Next time out was with only about 3 inches of new snow, but the crud was still a lot of fun on these skis. My only compliant was on groomers. If your not at mach 2 arching big GS turns, these skis will really make you work for your turns. Slow speed, short turns are not what the Helix likes to do. You can muscle them around, but they bite back the whole time. I'm keeping these for powder days, but without a fair amount new snow I'll be back on my Scott Mission's.
