SANTA ANA 82 SKI

Introducing the most nimble ski in the Santa Ana collection. While the Santa Ana 82 is destined to be a favorite among skiers who spend most of their time on-piste, this ski also gives you the confidence to explore the trees, bumps and crud. Its enhanced design pairs a wood core and an elastomer Pulse core with a sheet of terrain-specific metal to give unrivaled stability and response. This ski combines the ideal width for on-piste skiing with a versatile shape that allows you to ski anywhere. With an emphasis on creating an exceptional in-resort experience, the Santa Ana 82 is a smoother, more playful, and quicker addition to the Santa Ana family.

TSM PULSE CORE

To create a ride that’s as smooth as it is stable, Nordica’s Santa Ana construction pairs our Terrain Specific Metal technology with our Pulse Core. The tailored sheet of metal combined with an elastomer layer and a full wood core allows you to take your skiing anywhere on the mountain, maximizing performance and fun along the way.

Benefits: Exceptional response boosts precision and control; dampens vibrations for a smooth and stable ride.

UNLOCKED TAIL SHAPE

With the goal of increasing maneuverability, the unlocked tail shape adds more rise to the tail of our all mountain skis. This tail shape allows you to pivot the ski at slower speeds and in tighter terrain without sacrificing the ski’s top-end performance.

TERRAIN SPECIFIC METAL

Terrain Specific Metal tailors the edge-to-edge width of the titanal layer in each ski within the collection. Every ski maintains the same metal profile, but proportionally the width of metal underfoot increases with narrower waist widths. This ensures that narrower, more on-trail-oriented waist widths have the stability and edge control you need, while wider, softer-snow-oriented skis have more playfulness and versatility.

Benefits: Lighter with metal dampening; stability where you need it; playfulness where you want it.

TRUE TIP

By trimming out the heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, we enhanced the playfulness and maneuverability of the ski without compromising that unmistakable feeling of power and control. Benefits: Lighter; smoother; more maneuverable.

BASE GRAPHIC EXPLAINED

The running base design has a specific geometric shape to show two features of the ski: a horizontal cut indicates where the rocker starts, and the intersection of the diagonal cut with the edge shows the widest point of the sidecut for full engagement of the edge.
