By far the ugliest graphics, and weirdest shape of any twin tip on the market. i'd say if it looks like a LINE ski, and is shaped like a LINE ski, it probably sucks balls like a LINE ski. never buy LINE, never buy LIBERTY, only buy K2. whaaaaaat

Liberty Skis Website

i think you people should support all these companies coming up. they're from colorado and colorado already has some of the best snowboard companies on the market (unity & neversummer) so why not support a company that handmakes their skis right here in the same country (or continent, rather) that you live in

and they may have failed to update the site, but it looks like right now you can order the skis on the site for $300 plus shipping, which is a pretty good deal for straight off a company website......triple strum if i don't win your tm's on ebay i might buy me a pair of liberty's, just to support the coloradoness

but in supporting these startup comps you waist a ton of money... look at the people who bought first year armamda,4frnt's, or lines and they were prob not all that happy with them. oh well i guess skiing is a 'image' now so do what ever you want man

i bought 1st year 4frnt's and they are the best ski i've ever owned. and they are durable as fuck. that has kinda increased my confidence in buying from a startup company.....not to mention i'm from colorado too

libertys last year were pressed in the karhu factory. if you can put two and two together you can figure out what the dimensions really were. however, they're coming out with a new pow ski that's 100 in the waist and a few other models for next year. spinks helped design a few and is on their team.

also, supporting start up companies is not a waste. all of the money that you contribute to a start up company is going right back into improving technology and benefiting the sport you love, thus progressing it even further.

first person you said you had cosmetic issues with your armadas... see i'm really not into buying a ski i know has cosmetic issues. and good for the second guy glad he likes his first year 4frnts. but you see i would rather buy a ski i know will hold up and will have a good warrenty. buying just to be 'cool' or 'intovative' is fucking retarded. buy a product you know is good not that you think will be good.

^ no, buying skis because you know that they wont scratched and chipped on the topsheet is what you are saying you would rather do. The armada's are the most fun ski i've skiied on, the topsheets just chip.

Its the rider not the tool, up to a certain point. Its possible for any person to break any ski, if they try hard enough. 4FRNTs have one of the best warranty's in the industry, and are built with a solid wood core, which is the best way to be sure a ski will hold up to abuse. People who worry so much about skis don't spend enough time skiing.

To many rider own companies is not a good thing for the industry

well line was first. karhu's twins are basically lines, so i think it's pretty obvious kiddies. they're being pressed in a new factory this year though.

the liberty skis do look just like older lines. good for them though if they can do a good thing with the company.

^^ And the widest is 75mm... Apparently all there is to do in Colorado is be a midget jibber.

Same dimensions as older Line 1260. Yawn...

That guy was right. I was told that they used the Karhu plant for their first batch, but left them when they got all uppity. They make their own now in the USA and have some cool looking fat skis and twins coming out.

I rode up in Vail with one of their testers or sponsored guys or something. Had big wide skis that were green and white. They made my K2s look like toothpix.
