Nomads vs wides

I’m in the market for new sticks, something wider and softer than my current Magnus 90’s. Currently look at either Icelantic Nomad 95’s which are 50% on a few sites and would run me about 420 or so bucks. I’m also looking at Vishnu wides, and were gonna get them used with very minimal damage for just about 250 + ship. I really want something noticeably softer and also wider since 90 really wasn’t cutting it for all conditions. Curious to hear what ppl with experience on either ski think.

I think you’ll enjoy the wides more forsure. One of the most fun skis I’ve ridden.

If you want something wider than 90 waist get the wides, they are gonna feel way wider than the icelantics and still be super light. You will love them, they are definitely my favourite park ski

The new Nomads definitely feel different. The Wide’s are going to be more buttery, but the Nomads are slightly stiffer and more stable imo.
