Once we’ve started testing a given product, we detail our on-snow impressions in our Flash Reviews and our annual Winter Buyer’s Guide.

What Icelantic says about the Nomad 100
“Giddy up cowboy! Welcome to your not so humble steed… the Nomad 100! No matter your skill level, it shouldn’t take you long to get to know your poppy, playful and FUN companion. Designed with ease and creativity in mind, the carbon + camber enhanced pop and light swingweight (due to our FLY-Cap construction) will make everything from groomer rollers to park features feel like a canvas to strut your stuff. The soft tip and tail, generous rocker, and goldilocks (100mm) waist width allow all skiers of all types to make effortless and intuitive turns in any terrain and any conditions. All the while, the more advanced skiers are able to unlock the skis' playful but versatile nature as they explore every feature on the mountain.”
