Following the indoor portion of the SIA trade show in Denver, the snow sports industry flocks to the mountains to return to nature and test the new skis and boards they've been drooling over and talking about for the past 4 days.

The response this year from testers after skiing the new Icelantic's was outrageously positive. Here are some of Icelantic's finest testing and demonstrating the performance of some of the new skis this week. Enjoy the sneak peak ;)

Ben Anderson on the Pioneer 109, Scotty VerMerris on the Pioneer 96, and Cody Potter & Calvin Barrett on the Nomad 95.

When I first clicked into the Pioneer 109 I felt as though Icelantic discovered the perfect ski that met the core demands of an everyday big mountain skier.  Not only is the ski incredibly nimble in the skin track but it also breaks trail more efficiently than any other ski I’ve ever been on.  On a more personal note, the ski helped redefine the style in which I execute the down-hill decent as well.
