Returning as an editors’ pick for 2014-15, the Liberty Envy skis was praised by our testers who said it “rips up the moguls as well as the hardpack” and is “a super light, fun ski that’s easy to turn.” Gradual tip rocker combined with camber underfoot and a flat tail help it float above the deep stuff and power through the crud as you make your way down varied terrain. Its core is a combination of bamboo for added pop, paulownia for reduced weight and poplar for toughness—an ideal blend for going airborne and jibbing all around the mountain.
