I'm think about pullin the trigger on a set.I know about the technology, but I'd like to hear some opinons/thoughts on them.

I think they are equal to or better than regular skis based on what I have heard from those that have demoed them. I personally have not skied them. The difference between a regular pair of skis and a magnetraction ski is not as great as the difference between a mange board and a regular simply because skis do not suffer on ice as much as a snowboard, but they still interesting.

i actually haven't heard much good about them... i feel as though if they were really that beneficial to have, then every company would be making something like it.

I've heard serious issues about the general quality of production coming from the Lib skis.

Well it is patented so that would be a problem.

 

I can not comment on long term quality issues, they look quality at first glance and the people I know who have skied them have only demoed them so who knows from a demo you know?

SeanyJ rides for them and and rides hard. In my book based on his skiing alone, they are a bomber ski. Message him on NS -
