Lib Tech Nas Pow Magne Traction Ski

Lib Technologies NAS Freeride Alpine Ski is a great fatty ski for powder and ATV riding! With a 98mm-103mm underfoot (depends on length) you will definitely be able to float in the powder. These skis have a sick design and they are a twintip ski so you will not have a problem landing switch off of a huge cliff in the powder.

Lib Tech Nas Park No Surprise Ski

The Park Series skis are all sold as singles $300.00 for the right ski and $300.00 for the left ski, to further show how crazy Mike Olsen is, compared to his competitors. Three different top sheets are available and, like the other skis from Lib Tech, the Park Series incorporates the company’s signature Magne-Traction technology, which puts seven serrations in each edge, effectively looking like wiggles. These serration, each with a specific purpose, create a more catch-free tip and tail and better control for jumps and tricks.
