ALL-NEW TO THE NORDICA BRAND THIS YEAR, the Nordica Unleashed 98 W is thoughtfully designed to put your creativity in the driver’s seat. A steeper angle in the shovel and tail gives this ski the agility to play all over the mountain—switch or regular—while it still holds its own in tricky conditions thanks to a single layer of terrain-specific metal atop a poplar and beech wood core. “The speed and stability of this ski is unmatched,” raves tester Kristin Bersani. The ladies also couldn’t help but notice how the Nordica Unleashed 98’s light weight played a key role in its exceptional pop off of side hits. Fresh from the trusted engineers at Nordica, we’re certain that longtime fans of the brand will be clamoring to get their hands on this freeride-focused speedster.
