Icelantics are underrated for park

Legit the funnest ski I’ve ever owned. You get the rocker of an ON3P with the soft butter ability of somn like a blend. Yet somehow they’re still rigid and stable. Super poppy and snappy. Super durable. The Nomad 95 is has a 130 tip spoon and 38mm of rocker meaning it really holds its own in soft stuff. Legit the only ski I’ve been using. And weight too. These things weight nothing compared to my Lines or K2s. Only thing I could ever see being a downside is graphics aren’t for everyone and if you’re hitting 45+ foot jumps they could be a little rowdy but seriously people start showin Icelantic Nomads some more love!

They're bomber af and usa made if that means things to you (it should). The only thing I wish they'd do is change up the shape a little bit, either give em some taper or bring up the turn radius a bit.

The Da Nollie used to be kind of a big deal but they stopped making it and focused more on what they're making now. I've ridden various pairs of Icelantics and liked them all, except for the original Nomad Rockers, which had an odd flex pattern and odd rocker profile, but that was in the early days or rocker/camber skis.

They used to make 3 twins, the regulator, gunsmoke and peacemaker. The regulator was actually a fucking grest ski. Also if you think blizzards ride like 2x4s you should probably learn how to carve turns

Dude not gunna lie, they are killer skis! I rode them for 3 years and loved them! I finally decided it was time to give stiff skis a run for their money. but back to the nomads. they hold their own for sure. I had no issues hitting park citys big line on them, and they do pretty well in the soft stuff for how narrow they are.

The occasional high pitched hype-laughs from the cameraman truly make this edit what it is.

Also, rude of you not to bring a mob to clean up all the steeze you just dripped all over this thread

What do you mean? Like, too stiff? Feels weird to even bring up Blizzard in comparison to Icelantic, but I'm curious what you mean.

Pretty sure they are made in the Never Summer factory alongside Fatypus in Colorado. I second the durability, they dont cheap out and use the minimum amount of epoxy there. The graphics are most definitely an acquired taste but should never be a factor in choosing a ski IMO.

the shop i used to work at had nomad 95s and 105s. They were super flexy and the shovels on the 105s were fucking MASSIVE. Would undoubtedly be super fun for jibbing
