2027 Liberty Radian 92 Skis

European craftsmanship and Colorado design come together in the Liberty Radian 92, an approachable all-mountain ski with a frontside lean. Strategically placed titanal underfoot, a poplar and ash wood core, and carbon stringers give it a stable platform that still initiates turns with very little effort. It's a smooth, user-friendly ski that lays down clean arcs on groomers and stays easygoing when you wander into bumps and softer snow.

Why we like it:

Liberty's Variable Metal Technology is the clever part here; the titanal runs full width underfoot and tapers to a point toward the tips and tails, so you get metal-ski edge hold without a heavy, demanding feel. Ash in the Precision Core is another nice touch, adding a little race-ski snap and damping to what is otherwise a very friendly ski.

Who it's for:

Advancing intermediates and advanced skiers who spend most of the day on groomers but like to duck into bumps and trees will get the most out of the Radian 92. It suits skiers who value a secure, quiet ride and easy turn entry over all-out power, and it makes a great daily driver for resort skiers who love to carve. Athletic intermediates ready for their first ski with metal in it will find it a real confidence builder.

Highlights:

Start with the shape. The Radian 92 measures 130/92/116 at the 179cm length with an 18 meter radius, a touch longer than you'd expect at this width, which helps it stay composed when you let it run or push through soft snow. The rocker, camber, rocker profile keeps the tips easy to engage and the tails easy to release, while the camber underfoot does the work on hardpack. Inside, Liberty's Precision Core combines poplar with ash, a wood usually reserved for more race-oriented skis, for a lively but damp feel. Variable Metal Technology adds a titanal laminate that's full width underfoot and tapers toward the ends, putting power and edge grip right where you stand while leaving the tips and tails forgiving. Carbon stringers above the core add stiffness and rebound, so the ski snaps cleanly from edge to edge. It's built in Europe with a half-cap construction and ABS sidewalls, a pairing that gives it a quick, nimble feel without losing solid contact with the snow.

Things to consider:

The Radian 92 is built to be fun and secure rather than a full-power charger, so experts who want maximum grip on hard, granular snow at high speed may find its ceiling. Some skiers find the tail holds on a bit at the end of the turn, which rewards a clean, finished carve. Skiers who want more metal and a tighter turn shape should look at the Super Radian 88, while the Radian 100 adds width for more time off the groomers.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Radian 92 sizes true to length across its 167 to 185cm size run. Pick your usual all-mountain length; go up a size if you ski fast and want extra stability, or drop a length for quicker turns in bumps and trees.
