For the 1617 season the Nomad Freeride Series has been introduced by Icelantic. Icey has taken their spirited flagship Nomad and now offer it in four widths. The Nomad 125 is the full reverse camber powder machine that replaced the Gypsy. For those bottomless days, pillow lines and dropping cliffs the Nomad 125 will perform with abandon The Nomad 125, is a full reverse camber ski this allows the rider to pivot and surf the mountain. The rockered tip and tail allow the ski to float in powder or to pivot so that you can add some freeride fun. The Nomad 125 tends to be a stiffer ski that allows the rider to power through turns while maintaining enough pop to be playful. Just like a Nomad, who likes to wander from place to place, this ski has precision movements and a spirited freedom that will take you to new places in the Mountains. The Nomad 125 starts with a poplar core which is seen frequently in skis manufactured in the USA because of its strength to weight ratio and the lively feel. Next comes a triaxle fiberglass laminate the fibers in this laminate run laterally, vertically and diagonally. The combination of three directional fibers adds greater strength while allowing less resin to be used . . . think weight savings. The topsheet is made from cabonium, a carbon fibre matrix that allows for great strength and torsional rigidity at only a fraction of the weight of fiberglass.
