THE ICELANTIC SABA PRO 117 ISN’T YOUR ORDINARY POWDER SKI. It was designed in collaboration with Icelantic’s team of riders, all coming together to create the ski of their dreams. They demanded a ski that would be playful enough for creative freeride pursuits, stable enough to stomp larger landings without getting squirrely and surfy enough to have fun and make the most out of deep conditions. The Reflective Rocker mirrors the sidecut, which allows the skier to engage the entire edge and find power when they need it. It’s a ski that allows you to paint your own line with poppy persistence. Our testers took note of this, saying that the Icelantic Saba Pro 117 is one of the best iterations of a full rocker ski they’ve ridden. “It’s stable, predictable, slashy and fun. The forgiving tail made the ski feel short and maneuverable, but at no point does it lose its floaty nature.” Icelantic promised a ski that would satisfy and, boy, did it deliver.
