The Icelantic Pioneer 109 is designed to attack the entire ski area like Lebron James drives to the rim. With tip and tail rocker, camber underfoot and a blend of lively poplar wood and triaxial-woven fiberglass in the core, it can dip and dodge as well as it can engage the afterburners. “I’m in love—the head over heels type,” said an infatuated Sarina Scott. “The Pioneer is a directional ski with some serious all-mountain talent.” Its 109 mm waist, combined with the aforementioned rocker profile make it a dependable powder ski, too. “For a powerful, directional ski, I loved how light, snappy and playful it was,” FREESKIER’s Donny O’Neill affirmed.
