I have owned a Origin 96, 187 cm for about 3 seasons now. I don't know how much the new one is different, but I can't imagine a drastic change. Anyway, I can share my opinion on the ski if you like. Assuming yes:
I find it a ski that needs to be dialed in to your tastes, but once dialed in, it works well as a one ski quiver. If you read Blister's review, I agree with all of it. I have mine set up with a 0.5, 3.0 base tune (race tune) and I detune the tips and tails back to the contact points (which is almost 8" in the tip). Doing this gives the ski very good grip underfoot and allows the ski to work well on very hard snow. You notice the shorter edge length (the ski is gripping underfoot, not much at the tips and tails) but since it is holding well who cares. Detuning the tips and tails allows the ski to pivot quite well, you can slide the tails out and the ski is very comfortable. The rocker and softish tips allow you to ride into, up and over, almost anything. You don't want to land hard on the middle of the ski, as it is very stiff and you get jolted, land tip first and things are smooth. The rocker and tip taper make this ski a pleasure in soft and deep snow. The tips plane up very well and you don't have to even think about tip dive in powder. The light weight allows the ski to be very flickable and you can move it around easily. It has become my ski for tight trees and confined spaces. It is also very stable at speed and has a very high top end. The tips do flap a small amount, but on the 187 cm I dont even notice it. The 182 cm length I think is the best performing ski of the various sizes and can handle up to about a 210 lb person. I am 240 so I sized up and it was right for me.
In general, the ski is light and pivotable due to its rocker. The tip does not pull you into a turn, but the edge hold is very good and the ski carves well. As good as it is on hardpack, it is better in soft snow due to the rocker. It is very stable at speed, but it gives a light and bouncy ride versus a very damped and smooth ride. You can ski it anyway you like and it will respond. It is not especially forgiving as the tails are reasonably stiff. I like it a lot everywhere and especially in tight trees and moguls. Other skis can be better in one area, but few can ski as well across the board. Its best performance is due to its light weight and heavy rockered tip and tail. Its not a front side carver, but it is a heck of an all mountain ski.
I skied it back to back with my Solomon X-drive 8.8 at Breckenridge last week. One day on the X-drive and 3 days on the Liberty. The X-drive was more damped and stable in the wind blown chalk upper bowls, but once I got lower and into the trees, I was really missing the Origins. The weight difference was really noticable and I didn't feel that what I gained on the X-drive was worth what I lost in the trees and moguls.
