Santa Ana 92

The 2027 Nordica Santa Ana 92 is a versatile women’s all-mountain ski that balances confident carving with enough platform for bumps, trees and soft resort snow. Its 92 mm waist and 15–17.5 metre radii keep the ski responsive on piste without making it feel narrow when conditions turn variable. Its six official lengths span 150 to 179 cm. It is sold flat with Marker Griffon 13 Twincam or Marker Squire 11 suggested separately.

Its TSM Pulse Core pairs a full Performance Wood core and elastomer Pulse layer with terrain-specific metal. The metal profile expands proportionally underfoot as the waist narrows, balancing damping and mobility. Pulse smooths vibration, while All-Mountain rocker and the Unlocked Tail Shape make it easier to pivot through bumps and trees. True Tip reduces mass at the nose, helping a substantial ski feel more maneuverable without removing its edge support.

Choose the Santa Ana 92 for an advanced skier or expert who wants one resort ski for groomers, bumps, woods and occasional soft snow, with a strong preference for stability and predictable response. The exact 2027 test praises its versatility, grip and energetic feel, while noting that it still asks the skier to stay engaged. It is more adaptable than the 87 but less quick edge to edge. Skiers seeking a loose, playful powder shape should look wider; lighter intermediates may prefer a softer construction.
