they aren't but Liberty is a great sponsor here and they do keep an eye on the site.
I read this with reverse logic - not too much difference. I ordered v82 in 172. I’ve been skiing with her this week and she is killing it on her old 158/80 twin tips. I feel like she deserves an upgrade and have been following liberty. It’s a confluence.Liberty is not a brand that dumbs down women's skis. Yes, they use a slightly softer core, but I think this is more to keep the flex profile consistent to the men's in shorter lengths. If they had the same core in a 180 and a 160 ski, the 160 would ski like a 2x4 with sidecut. I am a female that often prefers men's models (especially in the frontside category), however I was perfectly comfortable on the Liberty's that I've tried thus far. That being said...at 5'10" there's a good chance she'll prefer the longer lengths that the men's ski offers.
If they made the Evolv90 shape with the VMT core I would be out $200. The V92 shape is just a little too piste-y for me.
Did you read the fine print in the description?I still did not pull the trigger... agh. $200 skis + $200 bindings + mouting is at least $450.
These skis in my size with Tyrolia bindings are only $415 OBO and it is ready to go... granted they aren't brand new but that doesn't bother me. Might be a better deal for someone.

You definitely don't need to spend $200 on good bindings, especially if you don't need tech or gripwalk soles. Check Corbetts (prices are in Canadian dollars and they ship to U.S. for free), they have attack 13 for $120 delivered. And you should be able to get them mounted for $50. You should easily be able to buy these skis from STP and mount them with good bindings under $400 total.I still did not pull the trigger... agh. $200 skis + $200 bindings + mouting is at least $450.

Are you my wife?
How is the factory tune on the VMT's? Pretty good? Also, factory edge angles?
Thanks.
The only Liberty I ever saw wasn't flat from the factory, it needed a full prep out of the gate. I haven't seen enough of them to know what kind of track record they have, but I do a full grind on every ski I acquire, especially out of the plastic.
