Liberty Genesis 96 $650
Great ski stories tend to have their genesis over a few drinks with friends at après ski. Why? Because your big air that you caught floats higher and higher with every pint you down.

For the ladies who are really throwing big air and shredding the steep and deep, the Liberty Genesis is a great way to go.
