If owning a pro-model ski gave you the abilities to shred like its shaper, there are few skis we’d grab off the racks faster than this collab with Lucas Wachs. The young Bend-based phenom helped shape the Lib Tech YEWPS 118 for freestyle sled trips and natural features around the resort. The Lib Tech Magne-Traction, a serrated edge that, at first, feels like a gimmick, actually performs really well on firm terrain and helps this massive powder plank ski much narrower than it reads on paper. Surfy, poppy and stable are how we’d characterize this sweet jibby ski, and if you like to pop off cornices and butter around on the deepest days of the year, we think this ski is right up your alley. Lib Tech skis are shaped by surfers, so they know float like the back of their hands.

FREESKIER tester thoughts:

“Fun pow jibber stick. Doesn’t feel any wider than 100 underfoot. Pleasant.”

“Does everything really well. Surfy yet stable at speed up.”
