Liberty Hazmat (2010)

Ideal for blasting through manky snow and landing switch, the Hazmat impressed testers with reliable straightline stability and a sturdy platform. And it performed well off-piste and in the park. Plus: Its balanced swing weight and dependable switch performance make it an ideal park ski Minus: Some testers complained that it felt lifeless and slow to engage when they really cranked on groomers. It’s not the quickest turner.
