Diva in Training
Wanted to share my experience with my new skis Icelantic Nia Pro 162cm. I had a hard time finding reviews on this skis when I was considering buying them so I thought would be nice to share some info in case others are looking at them.
I tested them in whistler for 2 full days on fresh snow, some ice, hardpack, bumps, 3 tree runs.
wow these are fun!! I was simply bored with my other skis (armada Kufo skis 168cm with g3 ion) and wanted something more fun for touring and that I can use at the resort when I feel like it.
For reference I’m 5’2 weight between 173-178lbs, not much of a groomers/moguls skier, I prefer trees, bowls, powder and I consider myself an advance skier with 20 years of riding and some of ski instructing.
After going back and forth with different binding options I decided for the dynafit rotation 10 bindings and I’m happy with the decision. The Nia’s are solid skis and with the rotation bindings they rip at the resort. I know the combo is a bit heavy for touring but I’m slow on the uphill regardless and I prefer a setup that does better on downhill performance. The bindings feel solid and the power transfer feels so much better than the g3 ions..
The Nia’s feel great on short turns, initiation comes easy and naturally and feels stable. Much easier to ski trees than my previous skis. Powder was a blast and was surprised how well I could stay on edge on icy slopes, it wasn’t hard at all, No more skidding around for me.
162cm
135-105-125mm
Reflective rocker
Radius 15m
Weight: 3,286gr
Short Turns 5
Medium Turns 5
Stability 4
Forgiveness 4
I would recommend this skis to somebody who likes to play around in all kinds of terrain, hit bumps, and is looking for a ski that gives them confidence going down the slope. They are fun!!!!!!! it doesn’t hurt they are beautiful as well lol
