i havent heard anything about these skis let alone seen them anywhere but i was wondering if anyone had any insight about them. help would be much appreciated cause this might be my decision for a new ski. k+
 
Best fucking ski ever! Super light. Super flexy, but don't give out at all. Carve like a mother fucker. Mine are 178 center mounted with Griffons. I took them through moguls and trees yesterday. Kinda sketch because of the center mount going through untracked trees, but the moguls fucking rocked. Solid ski.
 
i have 171's center mounted with fks 120's and they are the lightest ski i have ever skied on. they are so poppy, responsive, and just an amazing ski. i so recommend them.
 
i have 178s center mounted, and they are AMAZING....they shred everything so hard, and the durability is great...if you have the chance to get a pair, DO IT
 
I have 178's mounted at -1.5cm and they are the shit I've been riding rossi for years and there is no comparisson. Virtually no swing weight. If you're familiar with rossi the 178 larose's are lighter than 174 ghetto's. They're on the stiffer side but super stable with tons of pop. I never realised how little pop my rossi's had. No chatter on cruisers and the sidecut and flex is at -2.5cm so they carve switch like a dream. They did alot of work on the sidewalls and edge protection this year which seems to have made a significant improvement in durability. I bought mine on a whim and I'm stoked I did. Top sheets chippin but besides that I have nothing but praise
 
Yeah, new wider softer edges, UHMW sidewall which is harder and repairable, and the edges are set in rubber for durability
 
No they aren't, they're a mid flex ski. they're not soft and buttery but they're not 2x4's. solid do everything ski except i couldn't tell ya about powder (i live in mn). i'm 5' 8" so my 178's are on borderline biggest i would for a strict rail and small-medium jump ski. wish i would've gotten the 171's. But still a sick ski.
 
im gonna bump this thread and get a bit more info on these.
and i have the option to get these in 171 or 178 both for $300.
so its really a question for what length to get but i wanna know about the ski too.
I'm 5'10" 155lbs. I want a ski that will be good on rails, easy to spin, lightweight, but still super stable on jumps
 
im currently leaning towards the 171 just because it would be easier to spin, slightly lighter and i like the green better than the red.
but someone prove me wrong if i am
 
id say 178s, especially since you will be centermounting i assume. i ride 178 scott p3's and im about 5'11 - 6" and i almost wish i had gone bigger had they come in a 181.
 
Nice to see a lirberty thread without people judging Liberty on what the skis were like 3+ years ago.

Laroses are awesome; so light, poppy and carve well too. Really fun ski.

The LTE which is the replacement for next year is also real nice.

As for size; I'd say with your weight the 171 may be the better choice; but it's all down to your preference. I ski the 178s but I'm 6'0 and about 190lbs (fat bastard).
 
I'm about 6' and ride 178's and absolutely love them! Super light, great flex! Mounted center w/ px 12's and are great! would recommend for sure!
