The Icelantic Shaman 2.0's unique construction lends itself to finding a rapid turning pace as you speed down the hill. The wide shovel allows the ski to stay afloat in softer snow, but don't be fooled, it wants to carve...hard. With the 2.0s, Icelantic wanted the skis to have a more lively and forgiving feel, which I can confirm, they have achieved!
