Icelantic x J Collab

100 MadeReleased September 26, 2026

No two ski companies have ever done this before. Two brands, same product, same industry, collaborating on a ski together? We had to do it!

Here's what makes this extra cool. Ben started Icelantic with his business partner Parr, who creates all their ski graphics. I started J Skis with my business partner Fank, who creates all our ski graphics. Two creative independent brands, both built by like minded skiing buddies who refused to play by the industry's rules.

We’ve been fans of each other’s brands and friends for decades, so when Fank came up with the idea of creating a ski together, a collab felt inevitable. So we did something nobody's done before and threw Fank and Parr into the same creative sandbox together. They got right to it, passing the art back and forth, each one adding to it, pushing it further, evolving it into something wilder than either of them imagined when they started. Watching it develop was like watching a jam session between two musicians who'd never met but immediately spoke the same language.

Those cats are us! Two small independent family owned ski companies that refuse to get eaten alive by the giant corporate conglomerate robots determined to remain in control of skiing. They thought we little guys wouldn't last, but we’ve been fighting for decades. And we’re still here. We’re the undercats and cats always land on their feet!

This collab is on Icelantic's Nomad 106 ski and our Escalator ski, each with this same collab graphic. You’ll even see both our logos on each of the skis. This is an extremely limited collaboration. Each brand made only 100 pairs of their ski. This is your chance to own a first of its kind piece of ski history. Go Undercats!

The Escalator

132 – 102 – 123

This mid width ski in our Explore Collection is the best of both worlds for easy up and easy down from resort hot laps to backcountry adventures.

This lighter weight, yet uniquely solid ski is built to do what you wanna do, whether that's sunrises on the skin track or spending all of your time riding lifts. The secret ingredient is a combination of a light Aspen core paired with our classic downhill ski construction for a Goldilocks feel that seamlessly blends stability with weight savings. Its 102mm waist slides perfectly into every skier’s quiver as a do-it-all tool that can lay down quick, snappy carves in bounds as effortlessly as it surfs wide open pow fields. We gave it a twin-tip shape for skiing backward and increased maneuverability in tight situations like chutes or trees. A subtle tail notch provides reliable skin clip retention for fast transitions. Add our pre-cut skins that perfectly fit the skis, and you're ready to go touring right out of the box! "The Escalator" will keep your legs fresher longer, so you can shred stronger from sunrise to last chair.

This ski is kind of a big deal!
Lightweight, slashy and nimble. It pivots on a dime while maintaining a respectable level of stability. The fairly aggressive sidecut lends itself to a mean carve, yet you can still pivot, slash and schmear the tails. It’s a great combination for today’s creative freeride skier.

The Finest Materials

Aspen Construction

By selling these skis factory directly to you, we can invest more money into using the highest quality materials possible for a game-changing level of premium performance & durability.

Full Height Sidewalls

Maximum impact resistant & vibration dampening
We’re using super durable, high impact absorbing Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) polyethylene for our sidewalls. This is the same material we use on our ski's bases. It’s very impact resistant and since it’s full height, it also absorbs more vibration like using a longer spring in your car’s suspension. Take a metal pipe and hit it against a rock, then do the same with a piece of plastic. The metal vibrates through to your bones & the plastic absorbs the vibration for you. That’s the difference of having full height plastic shock absorbing sidewalls over your edges or not. We’re cutting the sides of the sidewalls to a 10* angle, with a nice step at the bottom for easy tuning like race skis.
