Review of "NOMAD 112"
The wide body with a waist width of 112mm provides excellent buoyancy in deep powder. This model is perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers who want to enjoy free riding, as well as skiers who want to have fun even in the backcountry
A board you can rely on on the snow. It boasts high buoyancy and stability, but be careful with its maneuverability.
Its overwhelming buoyancy means it won't sink even in bouncy spring snow. You can feel the buoyancy even in spring snow, so you can glide steadily even on wet, heavy snow. It has a very high sense of stability, but the board itself is a bit heavy, and it seems to lack quick maneuverability.
If you want to enjoy uneven surfaces on rough snow or if you want more agile maneuverability, a lighter model may be more suitable.

Review of "SHAMAN 99"
This latest version of ICELANTIC's flagship model, the SHAMAN, is a modern update. The iconic pointed nose and wide rocker keep the nose from sinking even in deep snow, providing comfortable maneuverability. The 8mm camber and tight sidecut ensure smooth turn-in and turn-out, providing a light and playful ride
This is the one board for both powder and groomed snow. A fun, all-round model
with a unique feel. Its unique ride is what makes it so fun. Its playful design is its charm.
While a 110mm waist might give the impression that it's only for powder, this model also looks like it could be enjoyed on groomed runs! The great thing about this board is that you don't need to use different boards depending on the situation, you can enjoy the whole mountain with just one board.

The now-on-sale "STEEP SKI BOOK 2025" features reviews from 106 people, including professional and amateur skiers!
This impression project was participated in by 106 skiers, from riders receiving support to the general public. Find the skis you've been interested in and explore the sensory aspects that can't be measured by specs alone. We also tracked detailed information about the test riders, such as what gear they usually use, where they ski, and their height, weight, and physique. Reading the impressions with that information in mind should give you a clearer picture. Furthermore, if you're a skier, you can watch the skiers ski downhill on Instagram or YouTube. Gather information from multiple angles and have fun agonizing over the process to choose the best skis
