Product Info
When the powder calls, make sure the Nordica La Niña Skis are in your quiver. The Energy CA Wi-Core and longer lengths make the La Niña a powder weapon of choice for ripping ladies, with a 113 mm waist that floats effortlessly over the deepest, heaviest pow. Significant tip and tail rocker and the low, broad hammerhead nose make the La Niña lively and easy to maneuver in the white room, with the added benefit of an unusually smooth and fun hard snow experience to boot. Bonus points!
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, “Hammerhead Nose” design maximizes on edge snow contact while reducing unstable tip vibration that is a common in other rockered skis.
Shape
Hammerhead Nose – Low, broad tip shape that maximizes on edge snow contact while reducing unstable tip vibration.
Core
Energy CA Wi-Core – Offers a unique all mountain lightweight construction designed specifically for 80% of female skiers and 90% of the terrain on the mountain. With the market trending towards one-ski quivers, this women’s specific lightweight i-core made up of poplar, ash, and two ultra light polyurethane center stringers, provides a very stable and versatile ride in all conditions on any part of the mountain. Wi-core = women’s specific 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.

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
More
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.

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
