Liberty Helix Ski

Item #LBY0019 | 3 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Solid... anywhere!

By Backcountry.com Employee October 23, 2009

This is my all time favorite ski. In terms of flex and dimensions it's perfect for an everyday ski. The mini rocker is just enough to get a little extra float in powder while still letting it perform well on groomers. I have mine at 2 centimeters behind center and they shred well anywhere from the trees to the park to pow to booters. After skiing a ski with a bamboo core, I don't think i'll ever go back to traditional wood again. Liberty killed it with this one!

Beware, once you get on the Double, you'll never go back. Still rolls over like the Helix on the pack, but oh daddy, the float on its 121 waist is... ahhh! Maybe not made for the park, but neither am I.
