The Liberty Genesis 101 Skis fall right in the middle of the women's specific Genesis line up. At 101-millimeters underfoot, they have the width to keep you afloat when Mother Nature delivers that overnight dump. The core consists of a mix of bamboo, poplar, and paulownia, so the skier really gets the best of all worlds here, combining lighter woods together to create a unique feel and personality. The overall core profile is on the thicker side, so even though the wood is light, the underfoot zone of the ski is quite rugged. This counter balances the playful and rounded tips and tails, creating a multi-dimensional feel to the ski that is not really found when comparing it to other in its low to mid 100-millmeter waisted category. Construction also features Vertical Metal technology, or VMT1, which features a central aluminum strip and precured carbon fiber strips on the top that help maintain directional stability and torsional rigidity. Super fun, super playful and easy to ski pretty much sums up this shred stick. Groomers, bumps, steeps, trees, hardpack and of course powder are all handled with equal aplomb. Skiers looking for a softer-snow ski with a freeride flair will fall in love with the Liberty Genesis 101 to take on everything that the mountain has to offer.
