FLEX

CORE

Aspen Veneer Core – An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel.

CAMBER

All Mountain Rocker - The all-mountain rocker profile has slightly increased upturn in the tail compared to their predecessors, allowing for precise control during carved turns with more manoeuvrability and playfulness while still managing to provide incredible edge hold on the firmer days.

CORE

TSM Pulse Core - To create a ride that’s as smooth as it is stable, Nordica’s Santa Ana construction pairs both a wood core and an elastomer Pulse Core with a sheet of terrain-specific metal. This construction is also incredibly responsive to amplify your confidence and maximize your performance and fun. 

True Tip Technology - By trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area with a taper that further reduces weight, Nordica has enhanced playfulness and maneuverability of the ski without compromising that unmatchable feeling of power and control. The next generation is upon us.

LAMINATES

Terrain Specific Metal - By adding the same shaped metal plate inside the skis, it increases proportionately with the decrease of the last. Through this technology, Nordica were able to design unique constructions better suited for different terrain. The narrower Santa Ana have more power and stability on trail, while the wider constructions are more enjoyable off-piste and on softer snow.
