The 2025 Nordica Santa Ana 80s with Atomic Colt 7 Bindings brings the renowned performance of its adult counterparts into a smaller package designed for junior skiers ready to elevate their all-mountain skills. Featuring a lightweight wood core and a progressive rocker profile, the Santa Ana 80s enables young freeriders to confidently tackle off-piste terrain while maintaining stability and power on groomed runs.

Why we like it:

This ski is an excellent choice for advancing intermediate juniors, offering the stability and confidence needed to expand their skill set and tackle new challenges.

Who it's for:

Junior skiers aiming to enhance their freeride abilities and explore terrain beyond the groomers will appreciate the intuitive and reliable performance of the Santa Ana 80s.

Highlights:

The Santa Ana 80s captures the versatility and confidence of the legendary Santa Ana women’s skis, scaled down for younger skiers. Its Lite Performance Wood Core provides stability and a lively yet forgiving flex, ideal for lighter skiers. With a width of 80 mm underfoot, it balances control in powder with quick edge-to-edge responsiveness. The All-Mountain Rocker in the tip and tail improves floatation in soft snow while enhancing maneuverability and playfulness, making the Santa Ana 80s a highly versatile option.

Things to consider:

As a directional ski, the Santa Ana 80s may not be the best choice for juniors interested in park skiing, as there are better multi-directional options available. Additionally, skiers who are still mastering the basics might find this ski challenging until they have developed the necessary skills.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
