The Shaman is what Icelantic refers to as an "All-Mountain Powder Carver". Whoa whoa whoa. It can't possibly be all three! Yes. Yes, it can. Powder performance is never in doubt when you have a massive 160mm diamond-shaped shovel making your ski tips essentially unsinkable in deep snow. Meanwhile, a traditional camber shape and one of the most aggressive sidecuts in the market combine to deliver quick, precise carving on groomed snow. That high camber pops you in and out of turns, so you can look back with pride upon the trenches you've laid down. Powerful, playful, and nimble--as the name suggests, the Shaman will mend your soul by transcending the human and spirit worlds to bring you back to a state of balance. This year's Shaman features the Kea, an alpine parrot found only in the alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. This bird is known to the natives as the Guardian of the Pounamu, a highly valued Nephrite Jade. The Shaman, the kea, and you, are unique.Ski ConstructionTri-Axe ConstructionCarbonium Topsheet MaterialDurasurf 2001 P-Tex SidewallPoplar Wood Core20mm Rubber Foil (3 Layers)2.2mm Steel EdgeDurasurf 4001 Sintered P-Tex BaseIcey Flex Rating: 8 [1= soft, 10=stiff]Made in Colorado, 2 Year "No Questions Asked" Warranty
