If you are really into park skiing, try Line Shadows skis, I have them and love them.

Iclantic is a good brand. I haven't seen them in the park though. And not gunna lie, I've only seen older people with them.

This.

My boyfriend Rep's for Icelantic and neither of us are stoked on the Da Nollie's this year. =/ They're so chattery.


Get the ARW's by Armada. Best ski I've ever owned and the only ski that Freeskier rated 20/20 this year. I will never ride another park ski (besides my pipecleaners in the pipe).

if you want to rock Icelantic, go with the DaNollies. I've never heard anything bad about them

I've ridden nomads before, but never took them in the park. They're fun though, seem like they be fine on jumps due to the stiffness and poppy-ness. They hold an nice edge too, no chatter at high speed.

Then you clearly didn't read the post 3 above you.

My friend has Nomads, but he isn't a park skier so I can't help you much with that. Like someone already said... they're 105 underfoot. I'm not sure why you would be buying a park specific ski that fat.

They are pretty stiff and have lots of pop. Like said before, probably good on jumps.
