2027 Liberty Scope 110

The wider 2027 Liberty Scope 110 is a freeride tool for deeper snow, bigger lines, and increased flotation. These skis offer more sturdiness than you may think, as the updated construction works quite well in this wider shape. We start to see some nice freeride performance come alive in the Scope 104, and that confidence continues into the 110. These skis are built and shaped for creative and playful skiers who like to take advantage of natural features, big hits, and open terrain.

Built with Liberty’s Recoil core, the Scope 110 uses a mix of poplar and bamboo as a good starting point. Liberty then adds carbon stringers to the top of the core to boost the pop and performance in terms of rebound and energy. This keeps the weight down as well so skiers don’t feel bogged down by this wide-bodied twin. In the mounting zone, instead of metal, Liberty uses a phenolic plate to stiffen that area. This allows for increased edge grip without making the rest of the ski super stiff or hefty. By keeping the middle responsive and the ends fun and bendy, the Scope 110 has a pure freeride feel with a capable central portion. That flex is the big thing that allows these skis to excel in deep snow and more open zones.

It’s a pretty wide ski for most daily activities, so it stands to reason that it works better as a specialty ski on deeper days and in more interesting terrain. The Scope 110 uses a sidecut split of 142/110/130 to generate a 21-meter turn radius in the 182 cm length. It certainly feels like this ski can make much shorter turns with ease due to the flex, while at the same time, the skis are able to be drifty, surfy, and smeary with more of a slashy style. If you want to make longer and more drawn-out carves, you’ll likely run into either the ski feeling too soft or the width being too wide for pure big turns, but they can be done.

Whie they are more unique skis for fewer days, they do excel in that realm so if you’re looking for an additional ski in your quiver to handle the deeper and more untouched days, this is a fantastic option. Skiers here should be playful and creative in order to hook into the Scope’s dramatic rocker profile and taper shape. This would make a great ski for someone’s first powder ski, especially if they’re not looking in the 100% directional range.
