{"product_id":"2022-nordica-santa-ana-93-women-s-skis-0a131800","title":"2022 Nordica Santa Ana 93 Women's Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom firm East Coast mornings to soft afternoon bumps, the Nordica Santa Ana 93 is built to be a daily driver. This versatile women's all-mountain ski sits in the middle of the Santa Ana range, pairing a full wood core with a sheet of titanal and full-length carbon strips. You get a precise, powerful ski that moves quickly from edge to edge and still has the width to handle softer snow off the groomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Santa Ana 93 manages to feel quick and powerful at the same time, which is rare for a ski this versatile. A tapered wood core runs right into the tip, so you get more control up front without extra weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvanced women, and strong intermediates on their way up, who want one ski for the whole mountain. It's a great choice for skiers who ski firm snow most often but still want to duck into the trees or chase soft snow after a storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue Tip Technology is one of the more interesting details: Nordica cuts back the ABS plastic at the tip and extends a tapered wood core into it, saving weight up front while keeping the tip responsive and well damped. The core is Energy Ti W, a women-specific full wood core with a metal layer, and Nordica's Terrain Specific Metal shapes that titanal sheet to suit a ski of this width. On top, full-length carbon strips make up the Carbon Chassis, which Nordica says is about 35 percent lighter than traditional fiberglass, giving the ski snap without the bulk. The All-Mountain Rocker profile lifts the tip and tail gently with camber underfoot, so it carves well on hardpack and floats a bit in soft snow. With a 93mm waist flanked by a 126.5mm shovel and 114.5mm tail, it has enough surface for soft snow, and the sintered graphite base is fast and holds wax well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith metal and a stout feel, it rewards an engaged, centered stance; lighter or more tentative skiers may find it more ski than they need. Women who mostly ski groomers will find the Santa Ana 84 in the same line lighter and quicker, while deep-snow skiers can look to the wider Santa Ana models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Santa Ana 93 sizes true to length. Stick with what you usually ride, drop a length for quicker, easier turns in tight terrain, or go up a size if you want more float and stability at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nordica","offers":[{"title":"179","offer_id":52311381115176,"sku":"0A131800|179","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2022-nordica-santa-ana-93-women-s-skis-0a131800-1-0a131800.jpg?v=1792414472","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2022-nordica-santa-ana-93-women-s-skis-0a131800","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
