Jack G tested this product
Overall, the Icelantic Pioneer 86 skis seemed to perform well in the hard packed, icy conditions at Loveland Ski Area. They were able to find an edge and make precise, tight turns on steep terrain, which can be challenging on these types of surfaces. The skis were also enjoyable to carve on, making for a fun and satisfying experience on... Read more
Ideal for
- carving, these want to make tight turns
- great grip on icy, windy slopes
- sweet graphics a plus
Not ideal for

Sweet ski.
Originally posted at www.icelanticskis.com on Dec 27, 2021Light, playful and poppy with plenty of power when I want it. I love this ski. I have a 2 year old pair of Pioneer 96 and I really like the slight change in shape on the new Pioneer lineup. I'm usually skiing hard, manufactured snow and the longer effective edge is appreciated.

Ray was super friendly and helpful!
5 /5
We’ve been messaging back and forth for over a month and as I gave him new information about my background and how I was progressing in snowboarding he continued to give me suggestions until I finally made a decision based on his recommendations. He was very encouraging and helpful the entire time!

Great. Knows his stuff. Great recommendations. But I just wasn’t comfortable with short board. But when he got back to me with Carbon Supermatics, he scored with me.

Kyle understood my language
5 /5
You know when a ski isn’t quite right and one you used to have was perfect? Well, I used a lot of words that I’m not sure are used to describe skiing, and he completely understood me. The road led back to a brand I love and a ski that seemed to be the new and improved version of one that I lost years ago. Although I was ultimately ready to spend whatever it took to find the best ski, he worked with me for all ranges… full price and sales. I feel I was able to make an educated decision. His written description of the skis were all super helpful. I can’t wait to get these babies under foot.

VINCE IS THE ABSOLUTE GOAT🐐
5 /5
I mean, have you heard of Vince. Cause if you haven’t then boy oh boy, you truly are missing out. This dude was by far the best curator/beautiful human I have ever encountered through my telephone screen. Words can’t describe the joy he brought me along with his amazing smile. I mean are we serious. Having this man answer questions behind a phone screen is a disservice to humanity. This guy needs a ginormous raise or a massive promotion to become the spokesperson for this company. I’d invite him to my wedding if I was to ever have one. Dude definitely has a future in owning his own company or just being an all around amazing dude. We need more Vince’s in the world cause to be honest there truly just are not enough. Vince 2028 🦅🦅🦅🦅(I’ve never left a review for anyone ever but this man deserved it🙂↕️🙂↕️)

Spencer is awesome! He helped me out a ton finding a board. He was able to answer all my questions and recorded a video with all the different types of riding and the boards that go with them. He also explained each of the boards he suggested and why and helped me narrow down the size. Thanks again my dude I appreciate the help!

RICK WAS THE BEST HELP!!!
5 /5
He's extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of snowboarding (female/male gear, beginner/expert, mobility restrictions, etc.). He listened to all my concerns and questions and responded in a timely manner each time! He even checked up on me and asked to help me through the process of making a choice in gear. He never tried to up sell me or force me into something I didn't like/the more expensive or newer version. He only made recommendations based on my specific needs and wants. For which, I am extremely grateful. He was an absolute delight to chat with and discuss snowboarding (amongst other topics). I've never felt so confident in my snowboarding gear. I appreciate all the help I've gotten from Rick. I will absolutely be seeking his expertise in the future when it comes to this sport!

Eric has given me recommendations for a few years now. This is the first year I purchased, but i’ve always appreciated his expertise, honesty, and excitement. He’s introduced me to boards I wouldn’t have thought to purchase and really helped teach me about new tech that I haven’t heard of before. Very excited to try out my new magne traction board on the icy east coast!!

Great experience
5 /5
I have skied for many years but always rented. It makes sense for a variety of reasons to finally buy but every time I looked online I felt overwhelmed but no time to go to a store to talk to someone in person. Having Soren guide me through the process was exactly what I needed to cut through the myriad options and find what worked in my budget and for my needs. Will definitely recommend to others!
