Product Info
Believe it or not, but Santa Anna was a famous war chief of the Comanche Tribe known for his affable demeanor, yet ruthless tactics against migrating Anglos during the migratory periods of the early 19th century. It might seem like a bit out of left field in the realm of modern day skiing, but the Nordica Santa Ana, at a manageable 100 mm underfoot, is the all-mountain ride you've been looking for to pilfer your favorite zones, attack the steeps, and push out the gates for blasts through the trees. The nimble 15.5 m turning radius allows for quick adjustments and fast turning, while the carbon reinforcements keep the skiing experience smooth and damp -- no matter how choppy things get out there. Swoop up a pair of Santa Ana Skis from Nordica, and defend your territory.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All Mountain camRock - Santa Ana – All Mountain camRock! Technology pulls the traditional contact point of the tip back about 25% and the tail 5%, creating slight tip and tail rocker to aid the camber under foot. The result - increased floatation, velocity and maneuverability in soft snow as well as significantly increased ease of turn initiation in any condition.
Shape
Hammerhead Nose – Low, broad tip shape that maximizes on edge snow contact while reducing unstable tip vibration.
Core
Balsa Core CA – The Balsa core is a microlam construction designed exclusively for women made up of many thin balsa wood stringers stacked side-by-side, which provide a strong and damp feel at an extremely light weight.
Laminates
Carbon Prepreg Laminates – Two sheets of carbon over the edges for stability and edge grip.
Binding Reinforcement
Poliamide Top Foil
Sidewalls
ABS Sidewalls – Helps dampen hard landings while decreasing vibration fatigue.
Traditional Sandwich Construction
Base
UHMW Base – Ultra High Molecular Weight Sintered Graphite Electra Gallium Base
Edges
Steel Edges
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced
More
Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

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.

Turning Radius:
Short

Turning Radius
Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.
- Core/Laminates: Balsa, Carbon

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
