Speed: Fast: At this speed, these skiers are passing most of the others on blue square runs, and keeping up with most skiers on black diamond runs. Features:

Durasurf 4001 Sintered base (very fast and more difficult to scratch)
Thick steel edges
Reinforced at binding mount area
Full twin tip

The Pilgrim graphics depict the ever fearless and zealous Joan of Arc in a pensive and readied position. I figure she is contemplating the cliff she is about to drop somewhere in the French Alps.Originally designed for terrain park skiing, the Pilgrim is hardly park specific. It is extremely easy to maneuver in the park and this also translates to all mountain performance. The tail has a softer flex than the rest of the ski to soften hard landings and to get the tips to 'surf' or float better in soft snow. This is on of the narrower of the Icelantic lineup, but at 90mm at the waist, you won't regret going this narrow on the epic powder days. Icelantic's Pilgrim is a fun ski for upper intermediate to advanced skiers who want a playful and adventurous ride. This ski is good in powder, good in the park, and surprisingly can carve your pants off on the hardpack. |
