Liberty Scope 94 Review: A Playful All-Mountain Twin Tip for 2027

Introduction

The Liberty Scope 94 returns for 2027 with a couple of notable updates: a refreshed graphic and the re-introduction of bamboo to the core. Liberty had moved away from bamboo for a year or two while dialing in new constructions at its new factory, and its return will likely please longtime Liberty fans. Bamboo delivers a silent, smooth quality that few other core woods offer, and the Liberty feel is fairly distinct as a result.

Despite the construction refresh, the Scope 94 remains very much a freeride twin tip with an all-mountain format, and that combination is exactly what makes it interesting.

Who This Ski Is For

The Scope 94 works well for intermediate, advanced, and even expert skiers looking for something with a freestyle lean that still performs across the whole mountain. It suits skiers who want a playful, forgiving ski rather than a demanding, high-performance charger.

Its blend of flexibility and a slightly stout feel, combined with the smoothness from bamboo and the poured ABS sidewalls, gives it a balance of easy maneuverability and stability that few skiers will object to.

Construction and Materials

The ski is built around Liberty’s Recoil core, made mostly of poplar with bamboo stringers and carbon stringers. In the underfoot zone, Liberty uses a phenolic plate: phenol is a stiffer plastic, and instead of adding metal or a denser wood there, the plate adds binding retention and stiffness in the most critical zone.

Another signature detail is the 360-degree poured ABS sidewall. It is a softer material that absorbs vibration and keeps the ski smooth and consistent throughout the turn.

As for weight, the 180 cm model with a demo binding mounted came in at 2,967 grams on the scale. That binding adds a few hundred grams, so the bare ski sits around 1,800 grams.

On-Snow Performance

The Scope 94 leans clearly toward the playful side of the spectrum. The flexible profile makes all sorts of turn shapes and styles easier, and it lets you access the entirety of the side cut. The trade-off is that it prevents higher-performance skiing: less stability at speed and less power in a hard carving turn. That is fine, because this ski is meant for creativity and playfulness on snow.

The shape follows the same philosophy: a twin tip look without being overly dramatic, positive camber underfoot, and a low, long rocker profile that adds smoothness by putting more ski on the snow. The taper is round and consistent, so it does not scream flotation; it reads more as easy mobility and ease of use.

The tail mirrors that rounded shape with long, low tail rocker. There is not the dramatic splay of a park-specific twin tip, but there is genuine freestyle capability thanks to the flex and the bend in the tail. The 19-meter turn radius in the 180 cm length makes it easy to pivot and smear turns rather than staying locked in tip-to-tail edge contact.

Tester feedback from the ski test notes that the Scope 94 feels both stable and playful, makes smooth short-radius turns, and is easy to maneuver on varied terrain. The wider width for a twin tip handles all-mountain and uneven terrain well while still allowing jumps and switch landings.

Buying Advice

This ski makes the most sense for skiers with a freeride-oriented style who want a playful, easygoing platform. In our testing in Vermont, it handled on-trail fun, bumps, trees, and even park laps without ever feeling out of place.

If your priority is high-speed carving performance or maximum flotation in deep snow, look elsewhere. But if you want one ski to mix short-radius turns, side hits, tree runs, and the occasional switch landing, the Scope 94 is an easy recommendation.

Conclusion

The Liberty Scope 94 for 2027 earns its place with a smart construction update: bamboo back in the core, poured ABS sidewalls, and a phenolic underfoot plate that adds durability where it matters. It stays true to its playful, all-mountain freeride identity and is a great fit for intermediate to advanced skiers who value creativity over outright performance.
