Product Info
The Nordica Vagabond Skis are ideal for the mountain vagabond lifestyle. If you find yourself skiing variable conditions and different parts of the mountain every time you go for a ride, the Vagabond may very well be the ideal ski for you. Nordica's Powder CamRock has tip and tail rocker with solid camber underfoot, ideal for a wide mix of conditions, from powder to carving groomers. The Blunt Nose tip plows through crud and weird snow like a shark, while the i-Core keeps the weight down if you decide to set these up for touring. Powder vagabonds unite, Nordica has the ski for you.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Powder CamRock – Powder CamRock skis are built to ski powder in ways never before thought possible. With significant rocker in the tip and tail, these skis float effortlessly. By retaining a bit of camber under foot, these are still exceptionally stable and track comfortably in all snow conditions, even hard pack. The very low, broad, “Blunt Nose” design maximizes on edge snow contact while reducing unstable tip vibration that is a common in other rockered skis.
Shape
Blunt Nose – Blunt Nose design maximizes on edge snow contact while reducing unstable tip vibration that is common in other rockered skis.
Core
Energy CA i-Core – Offers a unique all mountain lightweight construction designed for 80% of skiers and 90% of the terrain on the mountain. With the market trending towards one-ski quivers, this unique lightweight i-core made up of poplar, ash, and an ultra light polyurethane center stringer, provides a very stable and versatile ride in all conditions on any part of the mountain. i-Core = lightweight versatility and stability

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
