I'm looking at these and filthy riches for a new park ski. I rode a friends FR's last year for a run, and really liked them, almost the perfect park ski. im hoping the da'nollie would be really similar. I like that its a little wider, little less camber, and maybe a little softer.
anyone have experience on them? im talking this year specifically since they're quite a bit different.

i haven't tried this years but last years have crazy camber, quite buttery and super light. Over all i like the filthy riches more but they are both good skis.

Haven't skied them but I'll comment so I can see how other people like them cause I'm intersted too. The warranty for icelantic seems legit tho. Also heard good things about the way they ski and durabilty.

There are a few people who ride them at my local hill and they shred those things! They seem extremely buttery and smooth. The whole fish design is interesting but dont judge a ski by its topsheets I guess.

I bought a pair of 2015 da nollie last week and I love them ! They're really smooth and hold well on big jumps. Super fun on rails too. I don't know how tall you are but if you want to buy a pair I suggest you the 180cm. I'm 5'9'' and I'm really glad I took the 180

I ride a this years pair, got the 180( i am 5'10). They are poppy and buttery, smear with ease. Pretty light and surprisingly stable at speed, like real big speeds! Didnt try them on jumps yet since there arent any on my mountain, but on rails they feel solid. They come extremely sharp so detuning edges made a huge difference for me in the park for buttering

nice they sound perfect, still having a tough time deciding between them an FR's they seem really similar though so ill probably get whatever i can find cheapest.

The da'nollie is going to be a fair bit softer than the FR. The Fr has more camber and more rocker while the danollie is going to be a flatter ski. Both really fun but if youre looking for something more playful the danollie is your answer. something stiff for going huge i would go with the FR

Anyone skiied the new nomad RKR skny? rocker profile seems super similar, 85 underfoot so probably a bit lighter/quicker. also the gypsy skny?

They got 3 skis all under 100 underfoot, and all seem like they could be awesome park skis. still leaning towards the da nollie, but really curious about the other two.

I skied the 16' Dan'nollie yesterday and it was sick. Substantial rocker in the tip and tail, super buttery, camber underfoot. I'll be writing a review on them soon. Carved like a dream. Only thing is with the rocker and softness, it could wash out very easily on big jumps. If you are looking for a jib stick, these are a good choice. Never skied the FR.

How'd you ski the '16? And how tall are you/what weight? did they feel pretty light? i noticed the weight listed on their website is actually pretty heavy.

6'1" 160 and I skied the 180. It's pretty short for a 180, I noticed that all the Icelantics were short for their listed size. They did not feel heavy at all, not super light either. I tried the Candide 1.0 right after which was super light and skied like absolute shit.
