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.

Several years back Icelantic developed a crush on Panda Poles when they were in their earliest stages of becoming a business. Years later a strong collab has taken place between our brands and this great video tells the story from Panda Pole founder Tanner Rosenthal's perspective of how this all came to be.
