2026 Liberty Scope 110 Skiswith Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings

The 2026 Liberty Scope 110 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a powder-focused freeride ski designed for deep days, big lines, and soft landings. With a lightweight yet stable build and playful geometry, it’s just as capable surfing open bowls as it is weaving through tree stashes or sending sidecountry drops. We paired the ski with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

It hits the sweet spot—wide enough to float through storm snow, yet light and responsive enough for touring laps or playful side hits. It brings versatility to powder performance without feeling sluggish.

Who it's for:

Best for advanced skiers who prioritize soft-snow performance but want a ski that still holds its own in variable terrain on the way to the goods. It’s a great choice for freeriders who chase powder but also want stability when conditions change.

Highlights:

At 110 mm underfoot with a long turning radius, the Scope 110 blends float and directional stability for confidence in deep snow. Liberty’s Recoil Core, made from lightweight poplar with a phenolic plate underfoot, reduces chatter and adds control at speed. Sandwich construction with ABS sidewalls boosts grip and torsional stiffness, while the light construction keeps it efficient enough for skin tracks and bootpacks without giving up downhill power. At the core is the three-part heel, which delivers the secure boot retention the Strive line is known for while keeping weight reasonable. Salomon's elastic travel keeps the binding planted through chatter and cut-up snow, so it does not get knocked offline easily. The LDN toe spreads lateral input across an extra-wide pedal for crisp edge-to-edge power transfer, and a sliding toe pedal lets the ski bend underfoot for a more natural flex. The whole assembly rides on a low-profile chassis that drops the stance and centers the skier over the ski. It accepts both standard alpine and GripWalk boot soles, and the binding is TUV certified.

Things to consider:

Despite its balance of playfulness and stability, this is still a powder-focused ski. If you spend most of your time on groomers or firm snow, a narrower, frontside-oriented ski will be a better fit.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size. Choose shorter lengths for maneuverability in tighter terrain, or longer lengths for maximum float and stability in wide-open lines.
