Icelantic Nomad 105

With burly poplar wood construction, versatile dimensions, a dialed rocker profile, and cool graphics, the Nomad 105 wowed testers with solid performance all over the hill. “A working-man’s ski,” said one. “Not fancy, but carves, schmears, and just feels great.” Scores were high in all conditions, and only dipped slightly in forgiveness. “You gotta drive ’em, but you get back more than you put in.” On top of this, they’re value priced.
