The Libstick 103 is the wider sibling of the 98, with a 103mm waist underfoot. Five millimetres sounds marginal on paper and is not marginal underfoot – it moves the ski meaningfully towards soft snow.
This is the version to pick if the days worth skiing are the ones after it snows. The wider platform floats earlier and works less hard in cut-up snow; on hard morning groomers it asks for more deliberate edging than the 98 does.
Lib Tech is a Mervin Manufacturing brand, building boards and skis in Sequim, Washington since 1977.
