Nordica Santa Ana 93

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I skied the Santa Ana 93 on hardpack and in soft afternoon snow, and it didn’t flinch. The terrain-specific metal keeps it powerful and precise on edge, but it still feels quick and nimble when conditions get more variable. It’s a true one-ski quiver if you like to explore the full mountain." When we want one ski to do it all, the Nordica Santa Ana 93 is our go-to. Redesigned for 2021 with a new core and terrain-specific metal laminate, this version brings a better balance of strength and playfulness to a ski that’s already beloved for its all-mountain performance. Whether we’re railing early morning corduroy, diving into chopped-up snow, or linking turns through glades, the Santa Ana 93 adapts effortlessly.With a denser wood core and a single sheet of width-specific metal, the ski delivers a smooth and powerful ride without the weight of a full metal build. The 93mm waist gives us a confident platform for exploring varied terrain while still feeling quick edge to edge. Carving performance remains a highlight, thanks to metal that extends near the edges for serious grip. But the slight taper off the side gives it enough flex to stay forgiving and float-friendly when the conditions soften. From first lift to last run, this is a ski that keeps up—wherever we take it.
