Common questions
Borderline fittersOur Find my length tool starts from your height: intermediates about 8 cm under their height and experts about 2 cm over; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter. Example: an intermediate skier 180 cm tall gets about 172 cm, so the 171. We carry 171, 176 and 182 cm.
Icelantic built it for intermediate to expert skiers who want a playful, versatile, adventurous freeride ski; it describes its personality as playful, surfy and fun.
Freeride: off the groomers and beyond the ropes. Icelantic rates it 8/10 for powder and backcountry, 7/10 for trees and bumps and for park / jib, and 6/10 for groomers and hardpack. At 106 mm it's wider than the 66–80 mm we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs.
Icelantic built it to float on soft snow, so groomers and hardpack are its lowest rating (6/10). It still has 4 mm of camber underfoot, eight carbon stringers for pop and 2.2 mm hardened steel edges.

About
Nomad 106
The Icelantic Nomad 106 is a freeride ski from Icelantic's men's Nomad line (94, 100, 106 and 112 mm), for intermediate to expert skiers. Icelantic describes it as playful, surfy and fun, and most at home off the groomers and beyond the ropes.
It has the stability to charge through variable snow and the float to stay on top of soft snow, with a fast, loose feel for big lines, rope drops, tree stashes and natural features.
Key features
- Poplar core — light, springy and forgiving, with a playful flex
- Free Rocker — long tip and tail rocker for surfy float and easy pivots
- 8 carbon stringers — full-length carbon strips above and below the core for pop and rebound
- Fly-Cap construction — lower swing weight, so the ski is easy to manoeuvre

Questions
Asked in store, answered by our fitters
What length should I get?
Our Find my length tool starts from your height: intermediates about 8 cm under their height and experts about 2 cm over; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter. Example: an intermediate skier 180 cm tall gets about 172 cm, so the 171. We carry 171, 176 and 182 cm.
Is this ski right for my level?
Icelantic built it for intermediate to expert skiers who want a playful, versatile, adventurous freeride ski; it describes its personality as playful, surfy and fun.
Is it for groomers, all-mountain or powder?
Freeride: off the groomers and beyond the ropes. Icelantic rates it 8/10 for powder and backcountry, 7/10 for trees and bumps and for park / jib, and 6/10 for groomers and hardpack. At 106 mm it's wider than the 66–80 mm we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs.
Will it hold an edge on icy Ontario groomers?
Icelantic built it to float on soft snow, so groomers and hardpack are its lowest rating (6/10). It still has 4 mm of camber underfoot, eight carbon stringers for pop and 2.2 mm hardened steel edges.
Does it come with bindings?
No, it's sold flat (ski only), so you choose the binding. Pick one whose brake is at least as wide as the 106 mm waist.
Will my boots fit? What does GW mean?
That depends on the binding you add. For GripWalk boots, choose a binding marked GW (GripWalk-compatible); standard alpine boots fit any alpine binding.
What's its turn radius?
The turn radius grows with length: 16 m at 171 cm, 17.5 m at 176 and 19 m at 182 cm.
Is it a men's ski?
Icelantic lists the Nomad 106 among its men's skis; its women's freeride line is the Maiden. Skis aren't really men's or women's, though: anyone can ski it if one of our lengths (171–182 cm) fits.
Is it stiff or soft?
Icelantic rates the flex 7 out of 10, and says its poplar core gives a smooth, playful flex.
Can you mount bindings on them? Do I need my boots?
Yes, when you buy bindings with them: mounting is then free and the same day at Richmond Hill and Ottawa. We set the bindings to your boots, so bring yours or buy boots with the skis; you check and sign off on the setup in store. Skis we ship go out unmounted.
Does it have rocker or camber?
Icelantic's Free Rocker: long rocker in the tip and tail with 4 mm of camber underfoot, for surfy float and easy pivots (36 cm tip rocker, 31 cm tail rocker). Its Fly-Cap construction cuts swing weight.
What warranty does it have?
Icelantic gives a 3-year warranty on this ski. If something goes wrong, contact us with your order details.
