Terrain Type & Ability Level

Terrain Type
A real mix of terrain, thanks to its shape and construction, and it doesn’t matter what condition they are in, the Santa Ana 87 will have the same smoothness and balance on groomed trails or chopped-up, skied-out, end of the day runs home. The waist width and the long nose that provide this stability also mean that the 87 will be comfortable on easier off-piste too, so some exploring is on the cards.

Skier Type
onfident intermediate and advanced skiers who want stability and smoothness from a ski made using the best construction techniques and materials. It’s as comfortable cruising as it is being pushed hard, so you can relax or test your skills. Medium radius turns are its sweet spot.
Overview
Shape
The 87 has the signature shape of the Santa Ana range with the long gradual nose and smooth rocker at the front. And now uses the Unlocked Tail for better control. This, combined with the construction, makes for smooth handling in tricky and soft snow, as well as nicely predictable turn initiation. The 87mm waist is the ideal size to work on hard snow and still make the most of fresh stuff thanks to the blend of shaping and rocker.
Rocker
All Mountain Rocker uses a split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This gives effortless handling in all conditions as the rocker in the tip aids float and initiation, the camber provides grip and bite on firmer snow, and the tail rocker allows for easy turn release and control in tricky snow. The latest version of this has increased the tail rocker, referred to as the Unlocked Tail, for more control and a smoother ride.
Core
The powerful Energy Ti W core uses a full wood core with a Titanal sheet positioned above and an elastomer Pulse layer in between. The metal improves stability, the wood adds energy and response, and the elastomer layer dampens vibrations to ensure a smooth, powerful ride.
Construction
Sidewalls offer the best in energy transmission and edge grip.
Key Features
Unlocked Tail
The new tail rocker takes its design from the original Enforcer Free 104, which used more rocker at the tail than the rest of the Enforcer and Santa Ana line. By adapting this to the rest of the range, Nordica have introduced more control, made the ski smoother and increased the playful feel, all without losing the power that these skis are known for.
