2020 Liberty Evolv 100

[SkiTalk Test Team]

Philpug: (179) Yes, this is the love child of Liberty’s V-Series and Origin lines. The Evolv takes the Origin’s shape philosophy and infuses it with the V-Series' fantastic VMT construction. Surprisingly, I found it to be one of the damper skis in the category. The Evolv 100 wanted to run; it was one of the few skis that had a minimum speed limit, as it took a few mph to wake up.

Insider tip: Liberty’s out-of-the-box tune has been fantastic.​

Drahtguy Kevin: I was fortunate to test this ski at the Copper test (186) and at ABasin (179). The attributes of the 90 carry over to the 100. The 100 is a smidge smoother, probably because of the added width, but lacks the quickness of the 90. The predictability and confidence remain. I was surprised on the 179 at ABasin by the 100’s ability to handle the powder day we were blessed with. I expected the ski to dive and be more work in the shorter-than-desired length. It wasn’t. Skiing the trees in the Beaver was ecstasy, as were any bumps encountered. @Ron and I have gone toe to toe comparing the Evolv 90 and 100; he prefers the 100, and I the 90. I may be changing my mind after more time on the 100.

Insider tip: Either Evolv is a win. Pick the width you prefer.​

Andy Mink: (179) This one really caught my attention. With the same build as the Evolv 90 plus 10 mm, the Evolv 100 is a ski that may appeal to a broader audience. While it loses a little (very little) in the groomer department to the 90, it more than makes up for it in the powder/chop department. It was nimble both in deeper snow and on soft bumps with a good dose of damp added in the mix. The 100 still has enough shape and stiffness to carve quite well on the groomers that get you back to the lift.

A few other things about this ski, and other Liberty products, are the durable topsheet and excellent out-of-the-box bases. Very high quality work shows on these skis.

Insider tip: If you like to tip and rip but still want a Liberty ski, check out the V-Series.​
