The Santa Ana series keeps coming through as a staff favorite for ladies who just wanna have fun on the mountain, no matter the conditions. The new Nordica Santa Ana 97 is great if you want an all-mountain ski that carves well but still floats and stays steady when the snow gets soft or mixed.

Whether you’re cruising groomers early season, hitting bumps midseason, or slushing around late season in your party clothes, the Santa Ana 97 handles it all. Nordica’s terrain-specific metal gives you just enough stability—more than the 102, less than the 92—so you get a solid ride without it feeling too stiff.

It’s more playful and forgiving than the narrower skis, making it easier to ski bumps, trees, and mixed snow without beating yourself up. This ski’s a solid pick for West Coast ladies who ski softer snow and want a versatile ride, or East Coast skiers looking for something that can handle gnarly conditions.

Also, have you heard about Pantone’s Color of the Year? It’s Peach Fuzz. Pretty chill, huh?
