Lib Tech Backwards Skis

The Backwards is a park-focused twin-tip ski reinforced for repeated feature use. Flat Lift early-rise camber and a long underfoot camber pocket balance press-friendly tips and tails with positive edge power, while the H-Pop hemlock core, thicker steel edges, and thicker sintered base emphasize impact strength and durability.

Flat Lift Early-Rise Camber
Early-rise tips and tails support presses and butters, while a long camber pocket underfoot retains pop and edge power.
Park & Pipe Twin-Tip Design
A freestyle-focused platform is built for rails, jumps, park laps, and switch riding.
H-Pop Hemlock Core
Locally harvested Makah hemlock provides compression strength, pop, and durability for repeated park impacts.
Thickened High-Wear Components
Thicker steel edges and a thicker sintered UHMW base increase resistance to feature-related wear and damage.
Magne-Traction® Jib Advantage
Ski-specific serrated edges retain all-mountain grip even when contact areas are detuned for metal, plastic, or concrete features.

Base Cleaning & Waxing
Clean the bases as needed and wax regularly with a ski-appropriate wax matched to conditions. The sintered UHMW bases absorb and hold wax; scrape and brush after waxing, and have deep gouges, core shots, or base separation repaired by a qualified ski shop.
Magne-Traction® Edge Care
Dry the ski edges after use and inspect for rust, burrs, cracks, or impacts. Remove light rust and small burrs with an appropriate diamond stone while preserving the Magne-Traction® serrations; avoid aggressive filing and leave significant edge or sidewall repairs to a ski technician. If detuning for rails or other features, limit it to the appropriate contact areas and have the work done deliberately rather than rounding the entire edge.
Topsheets & Sidewalls
Inspect the Bio Beans topsheets, UHMW sidewalls, tips, and tails for delamination, cracks, or water intrusion. Keep damaged areas dry and arrange professional repair before moisture reaches the wood core.
Bindings & Mounting
Confirm the intended freestyle mounting position with a qualified technician before drilling. Have bindings mounted, adjusted, and release-tested by a qualified ski technician using the appropriate boots and skier information. Check mounting screws and binding components regularly, and do not drill or remount without the correct jig and expertise.
Drying & Storage
Wipe the skis dry after each session and let them air-dry at room temperature away from heaters and prolonged sunlight. Store them clean and dry in a cool, ventilated place without heavy loads on the contour; apply a storage wax for the off-season and remove it before skiing.
