Product Info
You won't find these anywhere else. Built around the renowned Nordica Wildfire chassis but updated with Nordica's balsa and carbon construction, these Wildfire's are an ideal deep snow touring ski or all-mountain west coast ripper. With a medium to long turn radius, full sandwich construction and just the right amount of tip rocker, the Nordica Wildfire Skis will keep a grin on your face from wind-scoured upper elevation sends to deep snow slashes in the trees. Shred on.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All Mountain camRock – All Mountain camRock technology pulls the traditional contact point of the tip back about 25% creating slight tip rocker to aid the camber under foot. The result - increased flotation, velocity and maneuverability in soft snow as well as significantly increased easy of turn initiation in any condition.
Core
Balsa Core CA – A microlam construction made up of carbon layers and many thin balsa wood stringers stacked side by side, which provide strong stability and a powerful feeling while remaining lightweight. This damp feeling allows skiers to rip through any and all conditions.
Laminates
Prepreg Carbon – Two carbon laminates above and below the core.
Sidewalls
Sandwich Construction
ABS Sidewalls – Helps dampen hard landings while decreasing vibration fatigue.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

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. 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. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

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
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Turning Radius:
Medium

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- 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.
