2026 Liberty Scope 94

The 2026 Liberty Scope 94 is a sweet twin tip model from the company that has long used bamboo, vertical metal, and other unique construction techniques—all of which are out the window. Scope 94 now brings about more playfulness and creativity. This leads 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 Scope 94. We do see a few “year two” tweaks, making this ski a bit sturdier feeling for slightly more aggressive skiers.

In terms of construction, the Scope 94 uses a poplar wood core and an underfoot phenolic plate. The poplar keeps the ski loose and fun while the thicker portion of the core in the middle allows for stronger carving. 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. Tester Noah Novotny calls it a “super light ski that’s great on groomers but als makes a fun park ski.”

This is a very well-rounded shape and profile for fun, creative, and playful skiers. 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. Bob St.Pierre “likes the overall character of the ski, especially in bumps and trees. It’s fun on-trail and in a carved turn but does lack stiffness in the tips and tails.”

If you’re not terribly aggressive, you’ll likely really enjoy this ski. 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 ski by Liberty is a big part of their company, but they keep their philosophy intact with fun-loving characteristics dominating the story.
