It’s commonly known and widely accepted that few are more creative than a 98mm twin-tipped ski, and the Nordica Unleashed 98 Ice Skis are no exception to this rule. At 98mm underfoot, the Unleashed 98 falls right in the sweet spot for impeccable versatility and, contrary to its name, features the generous surface area required to excel in softer snow. Thus, the Unleashed 98 continues Nordica’s trend of impeccable freeride creativity in a versatile setting, and nothing alludes to this more than a 98mm waist. Falling on the narrower end of the Unleashed spectrum means that the Unleashed 98 is one of the most stable performers in the series and enlists the expertise of Nordica’s Terrain-Specific titanal to achieve this. With a wider metal laminate and a narrower waist, the Unleashed 98’s titanal layer extends further toward the edges of the ski to give this freeride ripper an exceptionally balanced flex that—when combined with a progressive rocker profile and a twin-tipped shape—creates a feel very similar to that of a park ski. As a result, the Unleashed 98 appeals to a pretty wide range of skiers and endows those in the freestyle and freeride categories with a versatile ride that never rests in its pursuit of creativity. From massive jump lines and manicured rail gardens to tight tree lines and technical bump runs, the Nordica Unleashed 98 Ice Skis defy the odds to do it all and do it better.
