2027 Nordica Santa Ana 92 Women's Skis with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings

The 2027 Nordica Santa Ana 92 with Marker Squire 11 Bindings blends the precision and edge hold of a frontside ski with the versatility and confidence to venture off-trail. Featuring a responsive wood core reinforced with Nordica’s TSM Pulse Core and a single sheet of Terrain-Specific Titanal, this ski feels stable and energetic on firm snow, while maintaining the agility needed to dart into glades or cruise through soft bumps. We paired the Santa Ana 92 Women's with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.

Why we like it:

There’s no shortage of performance under the hood - the Santa Ana 92 feels like a hardpack ripper with just enough off-trail soul to explore beyond the corduroy.

Who it's for:

Perfect for advanced to expert women skiers who crave the stability and grip to carve clean arcs, but who also want the freedom to mix things up with some trees, chop, or ungroomed terrain when the mood strikes.

Highlights:

The Santa Ana 92 features Nordica’s TSM Pulse Core—a combination of a lively wood core and elastomer insert for a smoother, quieter ride—and one sheet of Terrain-Specific Titanal to enhance edge grip and dampen vibration. Nordica’s True Tip Technology trims weight from the tip for better swing weight and agility, so the ski feels quicker without sacrificing control. The balanced shape, rocker profile, and metal construction come together to offer a ride that’s composed yet responsive in a wide range of conditions. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.

Things to consider:

While the Santa Ana 92 is a capable all-mountain ski, it leans toward the directional, stable side. Skiers looking for a surfier, more freestyle-oriented experience, or something that thrives in deeper snow, may want to look elsewhere. Its stiffer flex can also feel demanding in tight, technical zones.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size. Stick with your regular length for the best balance of stability and float, or size down slightly for quicker handling without giving up too much grip or precision.
