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...

"My protocol is to align myself spiritually with each cliff I take down. It’s hyper-awareness; of the snow layers, of the trajectory, of the take off, and making sense of, and truly developing a relationship with, the air and distance I know I’ll pass through." - Juilan Carr

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
