Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca vs Lib Tech Steely D

How they compare

the Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca leans more all mountain, while the Lib Tech Steely D leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature rocker profiles — lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel. Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
