Icelantic Nomad 106 Ski 26/27

Product description

The Award-Winning, Nomad 106 is built for intermediate to expert skiers who want a playful, versatile, and adventurous freeride ski that feels most at home off the groomers and beyond the ropes. It delivers the stability to charge through variable conditions and the flotation to stay on top of soft snow, all while maintaining the energetic, fast-and-loose personality that encourages creative skiing all over the mountain. If your ideal run starts by descending big lines on the peak, followed by hunting for rope drops or hidden stashes in the trees, and airing every natural feature you can find on the way back down to the base, then the Nomad 106 is built for you.

Construction

ISOSPEED 7200 sintered base
Sintered polyethylene - A sintered, high-molecular-weight polyethylene base. Sintered bases are more porous than extruded ones, so they hold more wax and glide faster, with plenty of material for repairs.

2.2mm hardened steel edges
Full perimeter, hardened steel - Hardened steel, 2.2mm thick, wrapped around the full perimeter of the base - enough material for years of tuning and rock hits, and the reason the ski holds on ice.

VDS rubber foil
Three layers - edges, above and below the core - Rubber in three places: a sheet above the core, a sheet below it, and a 20mm strip along each edge, just above the steel. It soaks up vibration before it reaches your feet and helps the layers bond.

4 x 12k carbon stringers, lower
Four full-length carbon strips - Four narrow strips of carbon fiber, 12,000 filaments each, run the length of the ski. They add rebound out of a turn and take the buzz out of hard, chattery snow.

22oz triaxial fiberglass, lower
Fibers in three directions - Fiberglass woven in three directions: straight and at 45 degrees each way. It's the layer that resists twisting, which is what keeps the edge biting on firm snow. One sheet above the core, one below.

Poplar wood core
Pre-tapered, thicker underfoot - Poplar strips laminated side by side - light, springy, and forgiving, the reason a big freeride ski can still feel quick. Milled thicker underfoot and thinner at the ends, which is what sets the flex.

Durasurf 2001 P-Tex sidewalls
Sides, plus tip and tail spacers - Tough UHMW polyethylene along both sides of the core, with P-Tex spacers - the same material as the base - filling the tip and tail past the wood. It shields the core and sends boot pressure straight into the steel edge.

Dual-layer triaxial mounting plate
Reinforced binding zone - Two extra patches of triaxial fiberglass under the binding area, so binding screws bite into reinforced material and hold, season after season.

22oz triaxial fiberglass, upper
Fibers in three directions - Fiberglass woven in three directions: straight and at 45 degrees each way. It's the layer that resists twisting, which is what keeps the edge biting on firm snow. One sheet above the core, one below.

4 x 12k carbon stringers, upper
Four full-length carbon strips - Four narrow strips of carbon fiber, 12,000 filaments each, run the length of the ski. They add rebound out of a turn and take the buzz out of hard, chattery snow.

9oz unidirectional fiberglass
Every fiber runs tip to tail - Every fiber runs tip to tail. That adds spring along the ski - the energy you feel when a turn finishes - without making it harder to twist, so the ski stays easy to steer.

Sublimated matte PBT topsheet
Artwork dyed into the plastic - The artwork is dyed into a matte PBT sheet with heat rather than printed on top, so the art is part of the ski. PBT is hard and scratch-resistant; the matte finish hides the small scuffs of a normal season.
