At Icelantic we believe in a deep connection with nature. This years theme celebrates symbols from ancient oceans to deep elder forests, from our Mountain Mother to our Ocean Father and the animals that help complete the circle. There is a delicate balance in nature - one that highlights both the intricacies of the individual as well as the symbiosis of the community. When we step away from the screen and turn our attention to the forests, the mountains, the streams and all of the inhabitants within, we will see life - as it's meant to be. We will discover an abundance of resources that nourish our mind, body and soul, if we slow down enough to listen. You'll usually find Icelantic Athlete Nick Martini ripping his Nomads RKR's through the streets or behind the lens of his camera filming for his company, STEPT Productions. When Nick's not slaying the urban landscape or editing his latest film, he's stepping back and taking it all in...

Icelantic's Amy David tells us about her first powder days of the season on the new Maiden 111. "November is the time of year we return to winter. Although it happens every year, each time feels like a new “Maiden voyage” into the ski season. The anticipation for the first skiable snowfall builds, and the first round of powder turns transmits a deep energy throughout the ski community. My first turns of the season commenced on the summit of Galena Pass adjacent to Sun Valley, Idaho."
If this doesn't get you hyped for winter then we don't know what will. Last season Icelantic athletes Hayden Price, Scotty VerMerris, Amy David, Julian Carr, and Aiden Ulrich took Alta and the surrounding Wasatch by storm during the deepest days of the year with filmer and editor Andrew Mildenberger. Here's a little window into the experience. Enjoy, the deep days are coming. #ReturnToNature
Sad to lose a fellow skier and cherished friend. Adam Roberts was a bright light and a rich soul, we will always remember him and his immense spirit and passion for life, love, skiing, and nature. The Icelantic family would like to pay tribute to our fallen friend.
RIP Adam, you taught us a lot and you will be missed.
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.
Jackson Hole's "Wild Bill" has a special secret to maintaining youth, it's called S&S Coulioir.

Icelantic athlete Owen Leeper checks in with us about how good skiing has been over the holiday in Jackson with pictures to prove it.
Christmas week in Jackson Hole - 48" of snow since monday, Jackson Hole skiing was the best of the year this last week.

Keith is a professional Kendama player as you'll see and this video, and you'll see how the how his Zen state of mind applies so well to all his passions and way of life. Check it out.
Owen Leeper is not insane, he's calculated and he's one of the strongest skiers you'll ever see. Check out his season edit skiing on Icelantic Skis. We are proud to have Owen be part of the team. Check out this jaw dropping edit that just dropped!

Icelantic athlete Nick Martini and his crew at 'Stept Productions deliver this inspiring piece featuring one of our favorite Icelantic retailers called Lahout's Ski Shop in Littleton, NH which happens to be America's oldest ski shop. These guys made such an amazing short film telling the story of Joe Lahout Sr., the skier and founder behind this iconic shop on the East Coast. Take five and give this a watch!
Icelantic athlete Dan Greene is a familiar mug among core skier in Montana as a local line murderer notorious for his consistent and aggressive killing of lines all over the Big Sky area. Watch out he'll steal your's and slay it with no remorse. Haha just kidding... kinda. While Dan is fearless and tactical on his skis and yes built of steel, he is also a super fun and positive energy on the hill and most of all he is one with the mountain and loves to share it if you can keep up. See for yourself in this KILLER season edit he dropped, skiing on his Nomads.
Old man winter has finally peaked his head in the mountains of Colorado. Loveland Ski Area has received upward of a foot of snow in the past week and snow machines are firing. Check out these photos taken by Dustin Schaefer.

A dismal snow year has it's up sides. The mountain biking has been all time! Living in Salt Lake City is all about the access. It may be the proximity to the Wasatch range that makes the "Door to Door" missions so appealing. Check out this ride from my house "The Blue Canoe" to the Trax line, Dry Creek and then down the infamous "Bobsled" trail. Filmed all on the Sony Action Cam Mini.

Cody Potter started out as an intern here at Icelantic Skis and is now quickly moving his way up the ranks of all the other athletes on our team. He's been having one hell of a season winning just about every rail contest he enters not to mention making it out to the World University Games in Granada, Spain. If you haven't heard of Cody keep your eyes and ears peeled as we guarantee you'll be seeing a lot of him in the future. Now enjoy some smooth sailing as Cody cruises through the park in Breckenridge, CO.
Sheregesh, Russia... After two weeks of straight travel we arrive in Sheregesh, Russia where it has snowed four feet over the past week. By morning, an additional six inches of snow had fallen and the sunrise marked my twenty-fifth birthday. A small Asian man in a taxi van picked us up at our “hotel”. His gold covered teeth were complimented by his high-energy personality. He screams “America!!” at the top of his lungs a dozen times as we pack our nine pairs of skis into the small vehicle. The single lane road leading to the mountain is grid locked...
