From the 2019 Buyer’s Guide:
Liberty is revamping its entire ski collection heading into the 2019 season. The redesigned Genesis 96 features an updated early-rise tip with camber underfoot. Those design elements work in tandem with Liberty’s X-Core carbon construction—a combination of bamboo, poplar, paulownia and carbon fiber—ensuring this ski stays playful while maintaining a steady platform in varying terrain. At 96 mm underfoot, the Genesis is prepackaged for all-mountain exploration, from your favorite groomer to the few inches of fresh snow leftover in the trees. “Versatility is where this ski shines,” noted Anna Tedesco. “It blasts through crud and arcs beautiful turns, alike.”
The origin story of this ski begins with bamboo. Liberty has always been known for utilizing bamboo in its cores because it’s lightweight, strong and significantly poppy. The
Liberty Origin 106 pairs the bamboo with poplar and carbon for even more lightweight strengthening, resulting in a ski that’s powerful without crossing over into obese. Mikey Wechsler described it as “one of the top performers in this group, super fun and easy to ski, yet you can push it hard and it is right there. Really damp feel yet super nimble.” And that topsheet image is an added bonus, causing tester Greta Muxworthy to exclaim, “I mean, the graphics! I love the look and they thrive in the bumps and pow.”
