On3p or Icelantic?

Looking at getting some new skis after smoking my blends. I ski on the east coast, mostly park, but I like side hits, popping random 3s and just messing around the mountain. Looking at nomad 95s or crushin cans. Also, any opinions on the cans graphic?

Nomad 95 is softer, magnus 102 is stiffer. Both solid durability but you can probably find a better deal on nomads

Yeah I found both for basically the same price, what do you think of the Meeks graphic?

It’s cool, but look in factory finds from on3p if you want 102 mags

Icelantics tend to become noodles by the end of a season. If you're skiing east coast, some stiffness underfoot may be necessary. I'd lean towards the ON3Ps!

Other than similar-ish waist widths, the nomads and magnus and blend are all way different skis with way different flex profiles. On3p is super stiff compared to a Line Blend. What do you actually prefer?

So I bought the blends to just butter and have fun on, which they worker great for, but now that I'm getting better at park its just really hard to go big on them, especially landing switch. Idk I want something to do small stuff on, just jibbing around, while still being able to go relatively big. Idk if that helps at all

on3ps are more durable, extremely poppy, but less playful because of the stiffness.

icelantics are playful and real light, but have some stiffness in the tail that gives them adequate pop.

icelantics blow when its real hard/ice out.

Both real fun, I prefer icelantic however

I very much prefer my magnus over my nomad 105's. Mags honestly do everything that the icelantics can but way better. The rocker mixed with the detune provides more forgiveness for coming up short on spins and more float, the stiffer flex is way better for jumping, they actually carve, rail grip is better, overall just more fun. My main gripe with the nomads is they ski like shit on anything besides slush and fresh snow, they're too washy due to the flex points, and they have a mind of their own on rails. It could be just the waist width but the sweet spot for locking on rails was very small and i would fall off short on rails a lot. I like how soft they are but the hinge point is way too close to ur bindings, like the blends, so i would wash out and fall a lot on flips and corks even after landing on my feet. Id go on3p, if youre a little lighter go for the 90 instead of the 102.
