Favorite Icelantic ski, Why?

Keeper 178s, when I tried them on July 20th they handled the sun cups better than any other pair I tried!!

Why do you represent Icelantic? What is your favorite part?

I think that the idea of a locally made ski, that harbors a community of likeminded people is awesome, the skis are durable and made in the states, can’t really beat that.

Who influenced your skiing the most? Why?

My father and mother, they strapped red plastic skis to my snow boots at 18 months, Mighty Mites at Squaw, and Greg Stump films
