Since making its debut, the Santa Ana 88 has earned a reputation for being smooth and stable. And now—thanks to an entirely new construction and shape designed for on-trail terrain—Nordica's best-selling women’s ski is more versatile than ever. Equipped with the narrowest waist in the Santa Ana collection, it pairs a wood core with carbon and a sheet of terrain-specific metal. This boosts your confidence by enhancing edge hold and dampening vibrations for a smooth and balanced ride. It also produces a ski that’s especially easy to control and maneuver. With an emphasis on fun, the Santa Ana 88 provides an entirely new way to experience the trail. Features: All Mountain Santa Ana Profile -Rocker in the nose of the ski aids with soft snow flotation. Camber underfoot creates on piste power and performance whilst a slight rise in the tail increases ease of turn initiation Terrain Specific Metal -By adding the same shaped metal plate inside the skis, it increases proportionately with the decrease of the last. Through this technology, we were able to design unique constructions better suited for different terrain. The narrower Santa Ana has more power and stability on the trail, while the wider constructions are more enjoyable off-piste and on softer snow Sidewalls -Sidewalls protect the lightweight core and they direct energy to the snow, giving grip and turn precision Carbon Chassis- Carbon Chassis is a particular technology that integrates a carbon fibre into the wood core. It delivers a powerful and responsive rebound True Tip - By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, we enhanced playfulness and manoeuvrability of the ski without compromising that unmatchable feeling of power and control Female Specific Balsa Core -Lightweight full wood core that provides a powerful but damp ride. Balsa has the highest strength to weight ratio of any hardwood Energy Ti W - carbon reinforced layer and terrain specific metal laminate sized to each ski length Blunt Nose - Specific nose profile helps reduce vibration and chatter normally found on powder skis UHMW Base - This sintered graphite base is fast and durable, it keeps you moving on the flats and helps you accelerate on piste.
