 The Nordica Santa Ana 97 builds on its reputation as a favorite women’s ski, adding more rocker and vibration damping for improved playfulness and smoothness. A Titanal sheet tailored to ski size ensures grip and power without being overpowering.

Testers described it as quick, reactive, and fun, equally comfortable laying deep carves or navigating short-radius turns.

Bottom line: A playful yet confidence-inspiring ski, the Santa Ana 97 is ideal for women who want versatility with a smooth, forgiving feel.
