Icelantic Shaman Alpine Ski
Nothing sham about Shamans

i own a pair of Shaman 161s (I'm 5'7", 165 lbs, expert skier) fitted with TLTs. These rock in deep powder like nothing I've ever skied. The further forward you get, the more they power up. No diving; they float above everything, and squirt through tight trees like mercury. Inbounds, they are total play on the groomers. However, in double-black bumps they are the worst; you get thrown around like corn in a popper. Definitely a BC powder tool.
UPDATE: Have now taken them on several long BC trips. You will totally love having this much flotation when skiing bottomless fluff with a big pack.
