Here's a great review from Newschoolers.com:
tl;dr - The gypsys are an amazing, playful powder ski capable of ripping groomers when needed.
When you look at the Nomad 125 (I'll probably switch between calling them the 125s and the Gypsys so sorry in advance) you'll probably see a fat ass ski with full reverse camber, soft(er) flex, and think "No". Well hear me out. The Gypsys are one of the most versatile fat skis I've ever ridden. During the beginning of this season, I sold my SFB's and never mounted my park setup so it was just me and the Gypsys in early season, park, ice, powder, EVERYTHING and I could have not had a better time with them. The ice days were not good ill admit. For a 125 wasited ski, they roll over on edge super easily (thanks to the reverse camber) and grab the snow super well. Since its full rocker, the underfoot engages before the tip and tail contact points allowing for quick little turns when needed but roll over onto that deeper edge for longer, more engaged turns. When grabbing ice, I had to do alot of little turns because when i got to the point in a carve where I could reach out and touch the snow with my hand, the skis would wash out on me but mind you, this is east coast ice style. On regular groomers, however, I can engage enough edge to put my full forearm on the snow and have no worries of washing out or eating it. In the park, they're buttery as hell but suck for bigger jumps with hard landings (flat underfoot). Now, for the powder. I ski all my skis like they're in the park once I reach the powder. Every tree and rock can be jumped off of, every wind lip is a quarter pipe and every powderfield is a butter pad/slash zone. These Nomad 125s, Gypsys, whatever you want to call them have given me the most enjoyment in soft snow out of any ski I've ridden. I make skis as my job and wouldn't dare to recreate these because they are perfect the way they are. Maybe i'd make a lighter pair for a touring setup but that's about it. You can pivot effortlessly through trees, take steep chutes and mach speeds with no worries, drop cliffs without washing out (unless you're too backseat). That may sound over-hyped but I speak from experience that its the truth. These skis also have a mounting point which is farther forward than most powder skis i've seen. I believe its 4cm back from true center or something along those lines but the ski is nearly symmetrical with 152/125/148 and 59cm of tip rocker and 51cm of tail rocker. This allows for much easier butters, spins, and slashing than a ski mounted farther back.
