        Surface Live Free Skis - REVIEW

        Surface Live free skisThe Surface Live Free skis are available in two different sizes and has different dimensions and a slightly different turning radius depending on length. The 181 has dimensions of 146 / 110 / 130, a turning radius of 22m and weighs in at 4.3lbs—a little less than 2Kg’s per ski unmounted. The 191 has dimensions of 156 / 120 / 135, a turning radius 26m and weighs in at of 5.1lbs, a little over 2Kg’s per ski. I am a big guy, 187cm 105Kgs (6’3” 230lbs) and I love to tour big lines. In a traditional side cut ski I generally go about 185 but with rockered skis you can go a little longer and actually reduce your turning radius due to less of the front and back of the ski in contact with the snow. I have tried different rockered skis with greater and lesser results, but I really enjoyed skiing on the Live Free’s hybrid design.
