Nordica Santa Ana 97 Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Lydia
By: Lydia
I try not to judge a book by its cover - or a ski by its top sheet - but the Nordica Santa Ana 97 performs just as beautifully as its graphics. I tested this ski on an early season demo day and fell in love. My legs were not quite in skiing shape, but I felt incredibly stable ripping down a crowded groomer on this ski. I'm 5'10 and tested the 167 length - a tad short for me, but I didn't feel limited by the length at all as an expert skier. If you're looking for a versatile, playful ski with just the right amount of metal to excel on groomers but not sink on a softer day, look no further.

Our Take On The 2026 Nordica Santa Ana 97:

Staff favorite time and time again, the Santa Ana series delivers performance for women who love to ski, no matter when or where on the mountain. The freshly redesigned Nordica Santa Ana 97 is ideal for ladies looking for an all-mountain ski that can carve with the best of them, while finding ample float and stability in deeper and mixed snow. Early season groomer laps to break in the legs? Mid-season bump runs? Late season spring slush in party clothes? The Santa Ana 97 is here for all of it. Nordica's terrain specific metal gives you the right amount of stability for the terrain you'll be shredding. With a little more than the Santa Ana 102, and a little less than the Santa Ana 92, you'll get solid performance underfoot for carving and stability when conditions are less ideal. At the same time, the ski is less rigid and more playful than a more narrow option for more forgiveness in bumps, trees, and mixed snow. Ideal for ladies out West dealing with softer snow conditions but still wanting something versatile, or ladies out East wanting a soft snow ski that can perform when conditions get spicy. Also, have you heard of Pantone's Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz?
