Icelantic Arches NP 100, Maiden, Size – 169 cm – Brand New. Introducing: The Special Edition Arches NP 100. We’re incredibly proud to introduce the fourth annual installment of the Special Edition National Park Collection Skis + Gear. Each year, we honor a new National Park through these collections, and to celebrate year three, we give you ARCHES NATIONAL PARK. Artwork by Icelantic co-founder and artist Travis Parr. ABOUT THE NP 100. The Arches NP 100 is one convenient, unisex, name for the new National Park ski. The three shorter lengths are the same ski as the NEW women’s Maiden 102, while the three longer lengths are the NEW men’s Nomad 100. The brand-new & redesigned Nomad 100 and Maiden 102 were designed with ease and creativity in mind. The carbon + camber enhanced pop and light swingweight (due to our FLY-Cap construction) will make everything from groomer rollers to park features feel like a canvas to strut your stuff. The soft tip and tail, generous rocker, and goldilocks waist widths allow all skiers of all types to make effortless and intuitive turns in any terrain and any conditions. All of this plus a more symmetrical tip/tail and an updated mount position, marries the familiarity and reliability of the Nomad and Maiden you know and love with a lively, poppy, and even more FUN ski you always knew it could be. The NP 100 combines the rare qualities of playfulness and dampness into a ski that delivers the versatile freeride performance that pushes you to take on the whole mountain with the utmost confidence. Please see our sizing guide. Where should I mount my skis? Every Icelantic Ski features a BC-I mark on the left side of the ski next to the serial number. This is our recommended. Mounting point for the majority of skiers who want to be the most balanced over their ski. Our new 24/25 Freeride Collection (Nomads and Maidens) also have a PC-I mark. This is our recommended freeride mounting point. And should be used by people wanting a more neutral stance. Being closer to the camber height gives the ski more natural pop and balances the swing weight of the ski. This is where you mount your skis if you want a maneuverable, poppy, all mountain jib stick to accompany you as you jump and stomp every feature on the mountain. Every Ski also features a CC-I mark. Mark and should only be used for those looking for a true center mount. This mostly applies to park skiers and otherwise should mainly be used as a reference. What binding do you recommend? There are a lot of good bindings out there these days — you can shop our favorite (and the ones we trust the most). We recommend a binding that has a brake width that fits over the width of your ski but no more than 10mm wider. What type of tune do your skis leave the factory with? Every Icelantic Ski comes fresh out of the wrapper with a 1 degree edge and 1 degree base bevel. All of our skis come with a universal wax. Why do my new skis have a different topsheet material than my old Icelantics? Our new 24/25 Freeride Collection has a new matte topsheet material. This topsheet provides the same durability as our classic Carbonium material with better print quality and a new sleek look. We hope you enjoy!
