Icelantic Mystic 97 skis?

[aliwill]

Hey there! I'm curious to know if anyone has toured on the Mystic 97s from Icelantic. Eying them for a lighter pair of bc skis (I'd probably put Dynafit ST Radicals on them) that can handle anything I come across in PNW/Canadian West conditions. Love to hear experiences!

I have nothing to contribute, but welcome, @aliwill !

Also curious about this. There's a pair for sale on my local CL. They are 162's, which would normally be fine for me, but since they have SO much rocker I'm thinking they'd ski too short & I wouldn't be happy with them.

Just bought a pair and mounting with the g3 ions. Will be taking them out for a tour in a few weeks and will let you know how they ski!

Welcome, @Haz! Glad to have you here! Where do you ski?

I’m in Vermont and ski Okemo and Killington.

Im in Colorado. Mostly ski in the Winter Park area. I think these skis are going to be amazing in soft snow and powder but curious what they are like on icy/ packed conditions and how they hold their edge. We don't have a ton of coverage yet so I should get a good idea in a few weeks when I take them out

I love WP. Coming up for a week in February.

I demo'd last years model of the Mystic 97s in Mammoth last March, didn't take them out touring but did have a ton of fun with them playing around in the trees. They handled the chopped up sierra cement really well and I didn't feel bucked off by them in the crud like some other skis I've tried. I did find they skied short with all the rocker. I'm 5'2", 120 lbs, and my other skis are 155-157cm, and I demo'd the 162s since that's what they had available. The 162s were great, super responsive and playful and very easy to turn and I definitely think the 155s would have felt too short in this particular ski for me.

Eyeing the new Mystic 107s as a potential powder/touring ski.

Hi, I'm also eyeing the Mystic 97s, wondering if there's an update on how you like 'em now that you've gotten to know them better? Particularly interested in how they do in heavier snow/chop/crud?
For reference of what I'm currently on-- Elan 94 Ripsticks (but I actually don't love them-- they feel long and kinda bulky). My old AT set up was on some K2 talkbacks, which I did like. At the resort I ski Volk Secrets and Black Crow Camoix Birdies -- both of which I lovvve. Thanks for your help!!

Thanks! I live in Bend so I usually ski around the Broken Top/ Mt. Bachelor area in Central Oregon . Super stoked to just find Ski Diva--it's so tough to find info on ladies' gear/ not terribly misogynistic ski forums. Super important space <3
