Philpug: While we started getting on Liberty with the V-Series, we are now circling back to some of their more familiar models like the Origins and specifically the redesigned 106. Where the other One-Oh skis I tested at Mammoth, I tested in heavier Mammoth wind buff, the first day of the Origin 106 was tested at Mt Rose in 30 in. of some of the lightest powder we have experienced in years. True that these condition being soooo good could mask a ski's attributes, the Origin 106 actually felt really nice and very easy to make whatever turn shape I asked of it in the deep powder. Where the 106 started showing its true strengths was in the heavy cut-up sluff in Mt Rose's Chutes and on the runs back the lift. This is where the Origin was stable without being dull, and quick without being nervous.
Insider tip: Liberty's skis have an enherrant damp and smooth feel, and the Origin 106 is not excluded.
- Who is it for?
- In the 182, I had a good balance of stability without needing more length.
- Who is it not for?
- Bigger chargers, but they just need to go a little longer -- or to the 112.
