Icelantic is sick. Def thry them out. Coreupt is basically Rossignol so give Icelantic a shot. Especially if you will be at Jakson.

they both make good skis. personally i would rather support icelandic.    not sure if they are buttery.....i am sure they have skis that are soft though.

and i don't know the details of the coreupt's construction, so I cannot say how different they are.

I just know that for their first year of production, so that they can get established, they are using the same shapes and molds.  I personally think that is dumb, but I am sure next season they will release some cool new shapes.

I tried the Pilgrims for a couple days and they were sick. I rode them in two feet fresh pow and they did awesome but Im not much of a park guy. If are all park then wait for their new 08/09 line they are coming out with an all park ski. Its the one on the fair right. And I have been in there shop in Denver and it had SOOO much flex. But If you want all mountain or 45%- 55% stick with the pilgrim. The Nomad sounds to wide for you. I want a pair of the pilgrams but they are not cheap. This is a pic of the new graphics Click for larger image I

Yea a descent amount but Icelantic aims for surface area (quoting the guy at their shop) by making skis wider and shorter and this reduces the flex because they are so wide. But they are definitely sick skis and did a fiar job on the flex. I rode Salomon for a year before I demoed the pilgrams and noticed an instant change when i snapped in and freaken loved them.

We won't choose sides in this debate, but before you pick, consider riding BOONE as well!

I would def go with Icelantic. The skis are bombproof. I've ridden next years Da'Nollie which is the "park" skis. I use quotes because the skis rip everywhere. They are about 90mm underfoot which is somewhat skinny but are dope for park. They are pretty soft but super fun to play on. The pilgrim is about the same underfoot but not symmetrical and a bit stiffer. Both skis rip everywhere.
