Could not be more proud of Icelantic athlete Julian Carr after taking 3'rd in the Powder Reader's Poll during this year's Powder Awards hosted by Powder Magazine.

Whether you ski the east or the west, we've got demo days coming up for you to take advantage of. Check out the list of demo events HERE and stay tuned on Icelantic Skis' social media channels for more details on how you can find the blue tent on a hill near you.

"Whenever I look at my Nomad 125's, I am whisked away in a world far, and near, away.. A land of perfect pow skiing, with 5,000' vert couloirs. I summit a peak, inhale the perfect air, views abundant, sharpen my stare, place my Nomad125's in the snow, click in. I am ready to be one with my skis and respect, but SHRED, my surrounding. I drop in, arching turns in the pow, floating effortlessly turn to turn, playful, bouncy, responsive.. Perfect. Literally perfects skis. I gain speed, I rail turns, steady and reliable, strong skis at the same time playful. I love my Nomad 125's!"

Thanksgiving Giveaway - Winter Gratitude

Thanksgiving is the time of year that launches us into the ski season. Even more importantly, it’s a time to reflect on all we have to be grateful for. I’ve been thinking of how amazed I am at the travel opportunities I’ve had and amazing gear I use through working with various outdoor companies. It felt right to organize a giveaway to share some incredible products with people who may need it. Check it out if you need a little something new or know someone who does!

To enter the giveaway, simply go to my Instagram handle @AmyJaneDavid and look for the photos with “Thanksgiving Giveaway” on them. Step 1- Comment with 3 things you’re thankful for AND tag three friends you’re thankful for. Step 2- Follow the generous companies who donated prizes. Step 3- Enter on the new photo each day until the winners are announced on Saturday evening. I’ll message the winners to divvy out the prizes.

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.

Happy Friday everyone! Who doesn't love Friday's? Here's a feel good edit from our man Peyton O'Connor currently holding it down out in Cali.
