Enjoy the entire mountain with the Santa Ana 97. This super playful and versatile ski is made to take you anywhere. The skis wood core with an elastomer pulse core and terrain-specific metal give this ski a smooth and stable ride while the wider waist give this ski excellent response and control especially in softer snow. For increased maneuverability, Nordica has added an unlocked tail shape that adds more rise to the tail of the ski to assist with low speed pivoting without sacrificing high speed performance. Legendary performance of the Santa Ana will have you feeling confident anywhere on the mountain.

To create a ride that’s as smooth as it is stable, Nordica’s Santa Ana construction pairs their Terrain Specific Metal technology with their Pulse Core. The tailored sheet of metal combined with an elastomer layer and a full wood core allows you to take your skiing anywhere on the mountain maximizing performance and fun along the way.

With the goal of increasing maneuverability, the unlocked tail shape adds more rise to the tail of Nordica's all mountain skis. This tail shape allows you to pivot the ski at slower speeds and in tighter terrain without sacrificing the skis top end performance.

Terrain Specific Metal tailors the edge to edge width of the titanal layer in each ski within the collection. Every ski maintains the same metal profile but proportionally the width of metal underfoot increases with narrower waist widths. This ensures that narrower, more on trail oriented waist widths, have the stability and edge control you need and wider, softer snow oriented skis, have more playfulness and versatility.

By trimming the out the heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, Nordica enhanced the playfulness and maneuverability of the ski without compromising that unmatchable feeling of power and control.
