Santa Ana 104 Free 23/24

Rocker Camber Rocker
The ski is easy to turn thanks to a rise in both the tip and the tail. Due to the camber under the foot, the waist of the ski provides grip on harder snow. Skis with this type of profile like to be skied from a more centred stance..

Terrain Specific Metal
The width of the titanal layer is adapted to each ski in the range, depending on its waist width and intended use. Narrower, more piste-oriented skis have a relatively wider metal layer underfoot for added stability and stronger edge grip. Wider skis, designed for softer snow, use a more balanced metal layout to maintain maneuverability and a more playful feel. This approach ensures a consistent construction, tuned to the performance demands of each ski.

Woodcore
The core consists of specifically selected wood types that are laminated in different compositions into a solid core. This gives the designers control over all the characteristics of the ski.

Titanal
A composite metal of mainly aluminium, known for its torsional stiffness and durability. The addition of a Titanal layer to the ski construction provides stability at speed, strength and damping.

Carbon
Carbon is added as a reinforcement to the core. Carbon is light, strong and durable.

True Tip
By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, Nordica enhanced playfulness and maneuverability of the ski without compromising that unmatchable feeling of powerful and control.

Sidewall Construction
A PU layer that seals the layered ski construction on the side and adds strength. Skis with a sidewall construction are generally more stable at speed, livelier and more durable.
