Liberty Skis is the Vail Valley’s only local ski-maker, though unlike other grassroots efforts that create a lot of hype for long-time efforts, Liberty has created very little hype, and in their second year of business have staked their claim in the national market. Their product line offers a ski for every intent: back country, all mountain, park and tricks, and even a women’s line. The point is simple: not to be the world’s biggest or most profitable ski company, but to make skis that they themselves would want to ride, designing from the core (bamboo) out, and innovating every step of the way.

Local providers of Liberty Skis are Base Mountain Sports and Recycle Ski and Sport (that’s it!) Their products are also available online in several locations and around the country.

With this valley being a skier’s hub, it seems only natural that a superior line of skis would surface out of the local talent. We wish them the best of success in the 2008 season.. and hey, can we get a pair?
