Hey guys it's the time of year where there's ski sales going on so I'm looking at a new pair of whips. I was wondering are lib techs good skis? I haven't heard much about them. I'm thinking the lib tech backwards skis.

I also wanted to mention if people didn't know, on3p is having a discount on building your own custom ski! To get the discount at checkout, put the code "custom19" at check out for money off your build! It ends may 15th.

That's what I thought, but it's still a discount and it's the fact you can build it custom to you

probably a ton, however on3ps are all hand made in much smaller quantitys compared to bigger manufacturers so its easier for on3p to offer custom skis

That's from down skis probably....a company smaller if not the samish size as on3p I think. Or could have been praxis.


No massive companies make custom skis dood. Not even close. Also I'm pretty sure you're trolling

K2 doesn't make custom skis. Other companies that do are j skis except it's not really full custom because you can email Jason about design ideas. Another one I found is atomic does something, but it's just designing a top sheet. Hg makes custom skis.

Disregard the last part. Hg I thought did, but I guess I was wrong. No link for custom skis.

I used a pair of Lib Tech pow skis, idk what they're called. Really fun skis, but had some serious edge de-lam after ~70 days. They might have been dried out though as they sat around gathering dust for a few years before I got them.

Ya I figured I'd try them out. The ones I'm looking at are a 92 underfoot. I'm looking for sort of a one ski quiver. But I'm hoping to use those skis not on rails for like 3 seasons, use my armadas for the terrain park till they break completely, then switch to those. I just don't want to start beating on them in park right away.

Im super late but just wanted to mention that ive got some lib tech backwards and I honestly like em a lot. They are a bit stiff but I don't mind because I love jumps, but I wont love to get something softer for rail days. Sick skis though, only slight top sheet chipping after maybe 30+ days of beating on them.
