Consumer Reports

The Faction Dictator 2.0X is an ideal ski for the value-seeking ripper-chick. It loves to roll around at high speeds, providing outstanding edge-hold and stability, and carves a clean arc with the best of the skis in our test. In choppy snow and difficult conditions, the Dictator mounts a military coup, razing down everything in its path. Faction is offering a powerful ski for an affordable price.
The Dictator needs a highly competent skier to drive it precisely. This ski is not a great choice for beginner to intermediate skiers who are still gaining confidence; these skis are bossy. You need to tell them who is actually in charge rather than allowing them to rule with impunity. This ski also lacks the exceptional flotation in powder that some skis in our review boast. However, if you are a highly skilled and assertive skier who wants a dependable ski for a good price, look no further than the Faction Dictator.

Best Skis for Women of 2022 - GearLab

 At 95mm underfoot, the Dictator 2.0X is a versatile off-piste performer that's more than capable in deep snow but you might want something a little wider if you're heading in the direction of Japanese powder. All in all, a really solid, if not particularly playful ski that will satisfy powerful, confident female skiers. Whilst it definitely requires a solid drive, if you like to be in the front then you'll be pleased with how the Dictator 2

0X is a classic freeride, flat tail ski that demands to be skied with power, commitment and grandes cojones (or the female equivalent). With two layers of Titanal surrounding a lightweight poplar/paulownia core, the Dictator 2.0X has been built with strength and stability in mind and delivers excellent edge hold if you fully commit to the carve.          

 All in all, a really solid, if not particularly playful ski that will satisfy powerful, confident female skiers. Whilst it definitely requires a solid drive, if you like to be in the front then you'll be pleased with how the Dictator 2.0X responds.

 It's for a poppy playful ski it did ride a little stiffer. I recommend this for an intermediate to advanced skier that's looking to progress a little bit in their skiing.

https://www.skis.com/Icelantic-Nomad-95-Skis/519668P,default,pd.html

The Icelantic Nomad 95 is a great ski for the strong intermediate to expert level skier looking for a playful ride that will rip it in the park, charge down a wide open bowl and take on everything in between. Icelantic's Tri-Axe Construction has three layers of 20mm Rubber Foil that dampens out vibrations from sticking a big landing, giant cliff hucks and top speeds. Fiberglass Laminates reinforce the ski to give it a little bit of snap without adding any extra weight. If you never know if you are going to be spending your day in the park or wandering around the rest of the mountain, the Icelantic Nomad 95 is a perfect choice.

Parker's Review-Icelantic Nomad 95 Skis 2019-Skis.com

 Hey, Parker here, just got done riding the Nomad

 95's by Icelantic. Super fun playful ski, 95 under waist so you can take it

 absolutely anywhere on the mountain. Performs well in deeper snow, works well

 on the front face as well. If you want you can even take it into the park. It's

 for a poppy playful ski it did ride a little stiffer.

 I recommend this for an intermediate to advanced skier that's looking to progress a little bit in their skiing.

The East coast vs west coast snow packs are just so different. You are taking about skis with such huge sweet spots that not a lot of skis can really offer. The skis that I think have the best shot of being the a ski that could pull it off are the moment wildcat 101, jskis master blaster, icelantic nomad 95.

As a thought experiment, what is the single most versatile ski for the widest audience? A lot of all-mountain award winners usually specify advanced+ skiers and have a bias towards one type of terrain or another.

What skis would provide the widest envelope of performance for the widest group of people, eg acceptable performance in everything if not actually the best performance in anything. As in I could give a chargey 220lb western advanced skier and a timid 150lb eastern intermediate the same skis and both would have a decent if not amazing time. 

IDK if this ski exists, but it would probably have:

* rockered/twinned tips and tails 
* moderate weight 
* fat enough width for soft snow
* narrow enough for hardpack
* reasonably stiff flex underfoot
* 15-20m sidecut 
* reasonably soft flex in the tips/tails
* some vibration damping construction (carbon, partial titanal, etc)
* adapts well to progressive as well as traditional mount points 
* adapts well to skiers of variable size/weight 

The closest skis I can think of are Salomon QSTs, Fischer Ranger FRs, Line Sick Days, Elan Ripsticks; none of which seem to be particularly best selling or award winning.

Edit: of course there isn’t such a thing as one ski that’s really good at everything, but what would be interesting is the notion of a ski that is good enough at everything. There’s clearly a spectrum of versatility; on one extreme you have hyper specialized skis (e.g. 200+cm FIS downhill skis or short/center mounted jib noodles). But what exists on the other end of that extreme?

Jack of all trades

 I would say that if you're a person that likes to you know kind of do the all-mountain freestyle thing but sticks to the groomers that's a good option for you. This ski is Icelantic's take on the more narrow all-mountain side of things it's 95 underfoot it's pretty fun it's got a fair bit of rocker in it so it's uh likes to pivot a lot these guys are uh fairly fairly stiff laterally and a little bit softer in the shovel and kind of through like the first part of the flex and then a little bit more solid underfoot so it likes to grab and carve trenches on those groomers for sure but this ski is definitely a lot more focused towards that kind of soft snow stuff that is not groomed basically probably say this would be a good ski if you're kind of looking for something that can go all over likes park you like moguls this ski has a great pivot and moguls might look elsewhere if you're looking for like a full-on hardcore charger with no speed limit this guy does like to make shorter radius turns um those longer ones do get a bit squirrely it can hold its own in high speeds but it doesn't do as well as some other options out there. So these are great skis well they will be great for a lot of skiers they might not be perfect for you so the only way to figure that out is to go to curated.com and uh shoot me a message on my profile we'll chat for free and uh if you've skied this ski let me know i'd like to hear from you in the comments below and if you like this content go ahead and subscribe to the youtube channel

 So Icelantic says that this is a great ski for intermediate to expert all-mountain skiers that are looking for something a little bit more narrow that they can take on those groomers really not be punished like this ski is made to carve pretty well somebody likes to take it into the park you know sometimes hit some rails this is a great park ski. I would agree with that assessment that's a pretty accurate by them.

Should You Buy the 2021 Icelantic Nomad 95? | Curated

 Hey I'm Matt Wood with curated.com. Today I am testing the Icelantic Nomad 95. First

 off I'm not sponsored for this review by any brand and this is a totally unbiased review

 so you can trust it. So Icelantic says that this is a great ski for intermediate to expert

 all-mountain skiers that are looking for something a little bit more narrow that they can take

 on those groomers really not be punished like this ski is made to carve pretty well somebody

 likes to take it into the park you know sometimes hit some rails this is a great park ski. I

 would agree with that assessment that's a pretty accurate by them. I would say that

 if you're a person that likes to you know kind of do the all-mountain freestyle thing

 but sticks to the groomers that's a good option for you. This ski is Icelantic's take on the

 more narrow all-mountain side of things it's 95 underfoot it's pretty fun it's got a fair

 bit of rocker in it so it's uh likes to pivot a lot these guys are uh fairly fairly stiff

 laterally and a little bit softer in the shovel and kind of through like the first part of

 the flex and then a little bit more solid underfoot so it likes to grab and carve trenches

 on those groomers for sure but this ski is definitely a lot more focused towards that

 kind of soft snow stuff that is not groomed basically probably say this would be a good

 ski if you're kind of looking for something that can go all over likes park you like moguls

 this ski has a great pivot and moguls might look elsewhere if you're looking for like
