Size: 151cm Sidecut 127-90-115mm Turning Radius: 13m Weight:6.22lbs/pair Surface Area: 1671cm? Features: Handmade in Colorado Poplar wood core Durasurf 4001 Sintered base (very fast and more difficult to scratch) Thick steel edges Reinforced at binding mount area Full twin tip Original artwork graphics by Travis Parr 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. Twin Tip Skis: Not just for spinning 360s in the park any more. These ski have turned up tails, aka twin tips. While they will definitely aid you in hurling those aforementioned 360s, they also do many other things. They make landing jumps and skiing backwards smoother, but they also ski better in trees and tight situations where the reduced running length add to mobility. In fact the only downside to twin tips is that they don't perform true full arced carving turns as well as traditional skis. But hey, the world has evolved to doing more than simple carving so maybe you should too. |
