The 2021 Nordica Santa Ana 88 women’s skis with bindings are a fantastic setup for advanced and expert ladies who spend most of their time on the trails but want something extra for when the skiing gets adventurous. Nordica has re-vamped their entire Santa Ana line to be more fun, personable, and customizable than ever before. By replacing the traditional wood core and two sheets of metal with a denser wood and one metal laminate, Nordica has changed the makeup of the ski to be able to be more appropriate for differently sized and styled skiers. The metal laminate is bigger or smaller depending on the width of the ski, so at 88 mm underfoot, the Santa Ana 88 has a smaller metal sheet than the 104. This way, Nordica is able to refine the carving nature of the skis, without compromising maneuverability and quickness. Speaking of quickness, the skis have Nordica’s True Tip technology that aids in reducing swing weight. Again, they do this without neglecting the core values of the ski as an expert front-side/all-mountain ski. From where the ABS sidewall starts in the tips to the back of the ski, it’s all there and then some, but taking just a bit of material from the farthest point, the ski feels lighter and quicker and ready to make a bunch of short swing turns when asked. From the trees and bumps to the groomers and steeps, the 2021 Nordica Santa Ana 88 women’s skis with bindings are a fantastic choice.
