The ski inherits the legendary performance of the Santa Ana collection–and then builds upon it to boost your confidence and fun. Ski what you love and love what you ski with Nordica’s Santa Ana 97.
Features
We’ve refined the rocker on this collection and dialed up the control so you can play on your terms at all speeds, in any type of terrain.
To create a ride that’s as smooth as it is stable, Nordica’s Santa Ana construction pairs both a wood core and an elastomer Pulse core with a sheet of terrain-specific metal. This construction is also incredibly responsive to amplify your confidence and maximize your performance and fun.
By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, we enhanced playfulness and maneuverability of the ski without compromising that unmatchable feeling of powerful and control. The next generation is upon us.
By adding the same shaped metal plate inside the skis, it increases proportionately with the decrease of the last. Through this technology, we were able to design unique constructions better suited for different terrain. The narrower Santa Ana have more power and stability on trail, while the wider constructions are more enjoyable off-piste and on softer snow.
The running base design has a specific geometric shape to show two features of the ski: A horizontal cut indicates where the rocker starts.The intersection of the diagonal cut with the edge shows the widest point of sidecut for full engagement of the edge.
