Icelantic Nomad 105

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PARTICULAR SKI FROM ICELANTIC IS RIGHT IN THE NAME. Made to move all over the mountain, the Icelantic Nomad 105 is the brand’s top-selling freeride tool for good reason. A 105-mm waist width is just enough to provide a floaty platform but it also won’t get in the way if all you’re harvesting is wind-blown buff. Rocker in the tip and tail give the Icelantic Nomad 105 its renowned playful, slarvey characteristics while camber underfoot allows this ski to hold an edge with the best of them. Featuring a new Hybrid Flight core, the Nomad 105 is lighter and poppier than ever before, without sacrificing any of its big-mountain capabilities. “Very fun cutting turns through hardpack and on steep, fresh snow,” says Dan Grund. “Love the camber profile!” adds Mike Filander.
