Verdict

The Liberty Origin 96 is a versatile ski that is well-rounded and capable of handling various terrains, from groomers to bumps and trees. It is playful and fun, with surprising float in powder and solid performance on groomers. While some reviewers did not prefer this ski, many others highly recommend it for its durability and all-around capabilities. Other skis that were frequently mentioned as alternatives include the Line Sick Day 94, Salomon QST, Atomic Bent Chetler 100, and Dynastar M-Free 99. However, the instruction is to only talk about the Liberty Origin 96 and not make assumptions about other products.

2021 Liberty Origin 96 Ski Review | Curated

I'm not the biggest fan of this ski. For me, it wasn't the ski for me.

Desperate with choosing new skis (M, 22YO, 55kg, 181cm)

There's a lot of all mountain skis out there that carve well but are also playful enough to throw some tricks on and ski switch from time to time. The Blizzard Rustler 9 comes to mind. Also Line Sick Day 94, Salomon QST 98, Atomic Bent Chetler 100, Liberty Origin 96 and 101, Dynastar M-Free 99, Nordica Unleashed 98 (new for 2023 but available in some stores now). Aim for a length somewhere around your height or slightly shorter given your weight and ability level.

All-Mountain Ski to round out quiver

If you want to keep some playfulness and ability to throw tricks you'll probably want something slightly softer and less directional than the skis you identified, which are primarily directional metal laminate all mountain skis. The Ranger 94 FR or new Ranger 96 would definitely work, as would the Liberty Origin 96, Line Blade Optic 96, ON3P Woodsman 96, and Dynastar M-Free 99. You'll sacrifice a bit of carving performance with the above skis but gain more playfulness off piste.

I think I’ve mostly decided on Liberty Origin 96s. I am between 176 and 182 for length. I currently ride 173s but want something longer. I am 5’11 and roughly 170lbs, pretty strong skier, like to go fast and rip the trees and go off small jumps do some easy tricks etc.

New ski suggestions for a short small guy

Also look at the Elan Ripstick 96, Blizzard Rustler 9, Liberty Origin 96, Line Sick Day 94 (being discontinued next year and replaced by the Blade Optic 96, which I don't know too much about), Black Crows Camox (if you can find it at a good price). Lots of people your size also really like the Atomic Bent Chetler 100. Very popular ski so you might be able to find a pair on Marketplace near you for cheap.
