I'd be excited if icelantic skis weren't garbage.

comparatively they are. you buy the artwork when you buy icelantic, not the skis. however, the da-nollies were sort of fun, everything else is super damp. That's no surprise tho, never summer makes them and their boards suck. sure they might last a while but they're not fun what so ever

what makes you say that though? i've talked to a lot of people who own the skis and/or work for the company and i've never heard someone who owns them say anything bad about the construction quality. i know that when they first started, they had some construction problems, but so does every small company.

I should be more clear, their construction isn't bad in a sense of overall durability (which is why they offer a longer warranty than compared to other brands) but the way they perform is terrible. I've tried shamans, gypsys, keepers, and nomads and hated them all. If I wanted to have absolutely no pop and dive down in powder, they're damper than infested vag

weird, i've never heard anything like that about the performance. i'll reserve forming an opinion until i try them myself though.
