Read our preview of 2021 Icelantic skis.
Au Natural
One trend we noticed at this year’s Outdoor Retailer? Ski companies are lovin’ the “lightweight freeride” ski—those mid-fat pow-lovers that can rip resort off-piste or heli lines but are light enough to be touring options. The lineup of 2020 Icelantic skis has one of those: the new Natural 111. Oh, and as usual, they absolutely crush the topsheet game.
Read our review of the all-new 2020 Icelantic Riveter 95
Icelantic rounds out its women’s collection for next season by adding a new ski: the Riveter 85 and 95. It’s more or less the love-child of the Maiden and the Oracle, with a thinner profile and more flex than the latter. Poplar in the core makes for strength on piste or in variable snow, making the Riveter the women’s equivalent of the Pioneer.
The Highlights
- New Natural 111 to accompany the narrower Natural 101. All Paulownia in the cores of Icey’s backcountry skis.
- New Mystic 107 women’s version to match the Mystic 97.
- All-new women’s lineup of all-mountain skis: the Riveter 85 and 95.
- New Oracle 78 for a more accessible entry to the Oracle line.
- New (and sick!) topsheets for the Nomad and Maiden series, along with an updated core to lighten the skis up.
- New Pioneer 86 with a powerful poplar core.
