An all-mountain hall of famer, the Nordica Santa Ana 100 2020 is back in the FREESKIER Buyer’s Guide for a third consecutive year. A lightweight, yet performance-focused wood blend of balsa, poplar and beech, along with carbon sandwiched between two sheets of Titanal boosts this ski’s rigidity for a con dent ride. At 100 millimeters underfoot and sporting an early rise tip and tail rocker profile, the Santa Ana 100 is exceptionally versatile. From playing in soft snow to hard-charging the chunder, this ski will dance with you all over the mountain.

FREESKIER tester thoughts: “These skis are made for the ‘slaydies’ who charge and rip any condition. Serious carving, stability and sass.”

“This ski throws down a serious edge; it’s quick in bumps and is stiff and playful at the same time.”
