What Icelantic says about the Nomad 112
“For the 24/25 Season, we’re introducing the brand-new & redesigned Nomad + Maiden Freeride Collections. Despite being nearly unchanged over the past eight years, we decided that for the 24/25 season, it was officially time to give our highly-decorated and best-selling Nomad + Maiden Freeride lines a serious facelift.
ABOUT THE NOMAD 112
Stable, floaty and FUN! This freeride weapon is designed to make you feel like the best skier on the mountain. From light pow to heavy leftovers, this stable platform reinforced by carbon stringers from tip to tail is designed to plow through anything thrown at it and in any style you want to ski it. The damp but stout nature embolden the rider looking to point and shoot it all the way through the run out, while the limited camber and lightened swing weight (due to our new FLY-cap construction) allow the slasher to farm face shots as he throws the ski sideways with ease. And while these big mountain pow sticks are very at home onsighting big cliff airs, surfing open bowls, and even eating up leftover chunder, the rockered tip and tail and approachable flex profile ensures that they are easy to ski all day long.”
