2026 Liberty Scope 99 W

The Liberty Scope 99 W is a fun-loving twin tip that works great in soft snow, trees, park, and powder. While its off-trail prowess is more noteworthy than its carving performance, skiers will still have a lot of fun trying to maximize the arc of the ski. Ideally suited for more creative and freestyle-oriented skiers, the Scope 99 W uses a light core, a flexible feel, and a quiet overall nature to captivate its audience. Whether you’re looking for a playful and interesting wide-bodied twin for backcountry jumps and switch landings or just an easy-going all-mountain ski, this Scope 99 W has got you covered.

The Scope series is all built the same, with light weight energy and fun flexibility in mind. The skis utilize a full poplar wood core and a phenolic plate underfoot. This plate is made from a stiffer plastic—one that’s normally found in sidewalls of racing skis. When it’s used in a horizontal format like this, it adds energy and stability to the ski. Liberty does a nice job of using alternative materials to create a certain effect, and this phenolic plate is a good example of that. Scope 99 W also uses smooth and quiet ABS sidewalls all around, keeping the overall volume of the ski to a minimum. Tester Megan Papineau states that “Like Radian it was super fun but I skied differently than I normally would in order to enjoy it. Didn't like carving and didn't like steeps.”

At 99 mm underfoot, this is a fun-loving wide-bodied twin with a nice platform to stand on. Most skiers are looking for some extra width and flotation in skis like this, and the shape helps it become a fun and floaty ski. In the 164 cm length, the ski utilizes 130 mm tips and 119 mm tails to generate a 16-meter sidecut radius. This is nice and short, and you can easily get all of it due to the flexible nature. As a twin tip, we get a lot of splay in the tails to go along with a progressive and modern rocker profile. There’s still a lot of camber underfoot, delivering edge grip and energy when needed. That said, it’s easy to collapse that camber, as tester Ashley Maxfield notes: “This ski is a great ski for all over the the mountain. A little flat when you put it on edge, not that responsive.”

It’s more meant to be a soft snow playful ski rather than a responsive piece of performance gear. Scope is user-friendly and fun, working around problems rather than bashing through them. If you’re looking for a wider ski that feels nimble and interesting, this Scope 99 W is a fantastic choice.
