Nordica’s Santa Ana 102 Women’s Ski with Bindings is the widest ski in the Santa Ana series. Clocking in at 102mm in the waist with average camber underfoot and rocker in the tip, the Santa Ana 102 sets forth with a strikingly playful feel that excels from powder to trees. It’s surfy in softer snow, agile through bumps and trees, and unsurprisingly precise on firmer terrain. With a waist as generous as 102mm, the Santa Ana 102 definitely prefers pow days over groomer zoomers but nonetheless, it excels with few limitations. It combines a wood core with Nordica’s elastomer Pulse core and a layer of Terrain-Specific Titanal to achieve this, offering just the right balance between torsional stability and overall responsiveness. It executes medium turns with effortlessness and retains a vice-like grip while doing so, appealing to advanced and expert female skiers seeking a no-nonsense all-mountain feel in a freeride frame.
