Au Natural<\/h2>\n

One trend we noticed at this year’s Outdoor Retailer? Ski companies are lovin’ the “lightweight freeride” ski\u2014those 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.<\/p>\n

Read our review of the all-new 2020 Icelantic Riveter 95<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"2020
Icey calls the new Natural 111 a “powder touring machine.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The all-new Riveter (left) gives women a middle option between the Maiden and the Oracle lines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Highlights<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • New Natural 111<\/strong> to accompany the narrower Natural 101<\/strong>. All Paulownia in the cores of Icey’s backcountry skis.<\/li>\n
  • New Mystic 107<\/strong> women’s version to match the Mystic 97<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • All-new women’s lineup of all-mountain skis: the Riveter 85<\/strong> and 95<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • New Oracle 78<\/strong> for a more accessible entry to the Oracle line.<\/li>\n
  • New (and sick!) topsheets for the Nomad <\/strong>and Maiden<\/strong> series, along with an updated core to lighten the skis up.<\/li>\n
  • New Pioneer 86<\/strong> with a powerful poplar core.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Travis Parr’s work on Icey’s topsheets seems to generate buzz every year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
