2025 Liberty Scope 94

With a big move from China to Europe, Liberty changed a whole lot with their lineup. The 2025 Liberty Scope 94 is a flagship model from the company that has long used bamboo, vertical metal, and other unique construction techniques—all of which are out the window. Now for something new in the Liberty family, Scope 94 brings all-mountain freeride fun to the masses. With a lean towards the outgoing Origin series as its inspiration, Scope brings about more playfulness and creativity. This will lead to a broader audience, especially aimed at skiers who are looking to mix on and off-trail skiing with terrain park and other freestyle avenues. The flex is quite a bit different from what we saw in Origin, bringing about a more flexible and playful character. Skiers who like to use the natural features of the hill as well as the manmade ones will love the new Scope 94.

While vertical metal and bamboo were big talking points in the Origin world, poplar and ash will dominate Scope’s story. The use of ash wood is interesting in this core because that material is better known in the ski racing world rather than the freeride one. They use thinner applications of this strong and dense wood to create stability while the lighter and more flexible poplar wood keeps the ski on the playful side of the spectrum. Also borrowed from race world is the use of phenol. In World Cup and FIS skis, Phenol is used as the sidewall material. It’s a stiffer plastic than normal ABS so it provides more grip. It isn’t normally used in recreational skis in the sidewall because it’s not only too stiff, but it’s also more brittle. Liberty turns it horizontal rather than vertical, using it as an underfoot plate, taking the brittleness out of the conversation. They’re pretty light as a result, with the 180 hitting about 1650 grams on the scale.

We’re always going to take a close look at a mid-90's twin tip—skis like this are incredibly useful here in Vermont or anywhere that has tighter trees. The flex also makes them incredibly amenable to bumps and tighter spaces There’s a bit of a drop in taper, from tip to tail with measurements of 130/94/119, making it a clean turner especially when paired with the flex. The turn radius in the 180 hits 19-meters, making it a fun and easy carver especially in softer snow. The taper and rocker line up with the intent of the ski, keeping it floaty and easy in the fluff. There’s a good amount of camber, which is needed to balance the softer tips and tails. For park, there’s certainly enough of a bend to make switch skiing, takeoffs, and landings a breeze. Additionally, there’s a center mount point for the true trick aficionados.

This makes it a great choice for intermediate and advanced skiers who are looking to mix it up out there on the hill. From park and pipe to bumps and trees, these easygoing performers will make a big difference in the amount of fun you have while skiing. This new move by Liberty is big, but they keep their philosophy intact with fun-loving characteristics dominating the story.
