Nordica Santa Ana 88 Skis · Women's · 2023
A ski known for being smooth and stable. This ski is versatile and good for all terrain/conditions. It's built with a wood core, carbon and a sheet of terrain-specific metal. This dampens any vibrations while enhancing edge hold for a smooth and balanced ride.

Smooth turning, great on bumps, powder and definitely on the groomers - very stable and damp (doesn't chatter) - this is a ski that will allow you to continue progressing for a long time but will meet you where you're at now!













Nordica Santa Ana 93 Skis · Women's · 2023
A combination of a damp construction and a freeride shape makes for a ski that you can push when you want to, without demanding expert level skiing 24/7. Featuring Nordica's Terrain Specific Metal, the 93 has plenty of metal to dampen the skis for a smoother and more consistent ride in variable conditions, but has targeted zones of less metal for greater flexibility. This makes for a more energetic ride, and keeps things a little more fun and playful when you do get some softer snow or want to dip off trail. 93mm underfoot means the ski is quick edge to edge and easy to maneuver in bumps or trees.

These Santa Anas have that more neutral stance with a more tapered and lifted tail, a progressive sidecut with a 14.5mm turn radius, and dynamic flex pattern. The big difference is in stiffness and stability. These have more metal in the build. It will feel a bit heavier and take more effort to drive, but will reward a strong skier with edge hold on anything (makes them one of the most popular East Coast skis, where you see sheets of ice on runs). The lowered length at 158cm would keep them on the maneuverable side for you, but you may still find them less stable at speed due to not having as much board in front of you / behind you.

Nordica Wild Belle DC 84 Skis + Bindings · Women's · 2023
Smooth, responsive, and stable, the Wild Belle is a solid frontside/groomer ski that features Nordica's Double Core tech that sandwiches a sheet of rubber between the wood core for power and dampness. In addition, the natural stance profile means the skier assumes a more neutral, centered position that allows the ski to flex appropriately into a turn, providing great edge hold and confidence in a variety of conditions.

These are another option that have a forgiving flex and tighter turn radius. But unlike the Atomic, these skis have the ability to open up and stay stable at higher speeds. A sheet of rubber in the core helps the ski dampen vibration and adds a more energetic rebound out of turns! These and the Rossignols below are more appropriate picks for your skill level and will help you progress. The 84mm waist will be very easy to move edge to edge on hardpack, and is enough ski that you won't get bogged down on a storm day. The tip and tail rocker will keep you afloat as well as help initiate turns.
