    Anything similar to an Icelantic Gypsy

    Anyone have any insight on skis (modern or older) that are similar to the old icelantic gypsy? Not sure why they stopped making these or why they changed them so drastically when making the Nomad 125, which was a WAY softer ski. The stiff tail and softer yet responsive nose of the Gypsy is, in my opinion, unrivaled in its powder ski construction.
    Is anything out there like it? If so i guess i need it, because i can't find Gypsys anymore! Doesn't necessarily need to be exact in comparison in terms of waist width or desgin, just similar in construction. Any tips on where to look are appreciated.

    I would look into the ‘Tech Talk, Jong’ model.

    No. That’s incorrect. You’re thinking of Stevie Nicks from British-American rock band ‘Fleetwood Mac.’ Good song. Or maybe Pat Green:

    I actually have some minty 180s for sale. Walrus. They are special in their own way for sure. Don’t love them for the resort thoug I used to. Start getting knocked around after it gets cut up. Fun as shit in untracked for sure!

    They stopped making them becauze it turns out fat skis with slalom ski sidecuts just suck.

    The name of that ski is considered an ethnic slur by some, but not all, Romani. Best to avoid it.
