The Nordica Santa Ana 98 Skis might just be the most versatile women's skis ever made. It's hard to make something so universally beloved by pros and everyday skiers alike, but Nordica has done it. The middle child of the Santa Ana family is a blend of lightweight and powerful, with tons of grip and drive for confidence down the fall line, but a surprisingly quick and intuitive feel when carving turns at slower speeds. It rewards good technique without punishing the occasional lapse in form, and performs well in the full spectrum of snow conditions, making it an ideal one-ski quiver for skiers that want to ride it all.
All Mountain Rocker – Smooth rocker at both tip and tail with camber underfoot provides balanced performance anywhere on the mountain.
True Tip Technology – By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a tapered shape that further reduces weight, Nordica increase the playfulness and maneuverability while maintaining the classic powerful and stable feel.
Energy TI W – Race inspired technology. A women-specific full wood core with a sheet of metal for top end power transmission, torsional stability, and edge grip.
Terrain Specific Metal – The size and shape of the Titanal layer is specifically engineered for each ski width, providing stability where you need it and flexibility where you want it.
Carbon Chassis – Nordica's carbon reinforced chassis weighs about 35% less than traditional glass. Full length carbon strips not only reduce weight, they also increase the ski's strength and stability. The result is a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that's also more playful and versatile.
Sintered Graphite Base
Geometric Running Base Design – The Enforcer and Santa Ana 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 ski’s widest point.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
