Nordica’s Santa Ana 92 Women’s Ski with Bindings is designed for advanced female skiers who primarily ski on-trail. That’s not to say the Santa Ana 92 can’t hold its own in softer snow and ungroomed conditions—a 92mm waist definitely begs to explore—but it retains its poise and perfection in a more manicured setting. A wood core, an elastomer Pulse core, and a layer of Nordica’s Terrain-Specific Titanal combine to deliver a complete blend of power, precision, and forgiveness in a wide range of terrain. The evolved shape that works in tandem with this new construction amplifies the Santa Ana 92’s overall maneuverability and gives it a more approachable feel that benefits progressing intermediates and seasoned experts alike. The ride that results from these updates is fluid and smooth at all speeds. Quick edge-to-edge transitions are met by the stable initiation and release of turns, while the Santa Ana series’ signature vice-like grip never wavers, falters, or fails no matter the speed.
