Thinking about getting these but unsure about how they will perform in the park. I ski mostly park, but at my home mountain, Sugarloaf, there is an abundance of good trails to ski. Just wondering about the basics, flex, how the perform, durability, weight. Thanks

This might be the funniest thread I've ever seen. This level of bullshittery should not be allowed

They're a directional shape with a twin tip, lots of camber, and pretty light (1678 g @ 174). Probably wouldnt ski switch great. I cant remember what the flex was like, I don't remember them being super stiff or soft though. If you ski mostly park I'd probably recommend something else.

A lot cheaper if you just go to the store, buy two large dead fish, tie them to your feet, and start skiing those. Same dead, lifeless feeling you get out of Icelantic skis

Icelantic hasnt really changed anything in years. Theyre using tech and shapes that are outdated, and their designs/builds are just stolen from other companies that press out of the NS factory. If you want to pay for cool artwork then cool, go to a gallery or buy a piece from Parr himself. If you want to pay for a good ski, go to a different company
