The Ripstick Tour 88W is the epitome of the modern touring ski: light on the uphill, stable on the down and with the handling of a freeride model. This is all thanks to elan’s clever engineering with light weight materials blended with modern construction such as the tubes of the Carbon Bridge Technology that give the ski a playful rebound with smooth energy. The Amphibio design of different rocker and camber on the inside and outside profiles works perfectly with the shaping to provide effortless handling whether the snow is soft or chopped and heavy. Mount this with a pin set up for an extraordinarily light yet high-performance ski.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It’s an all-rounder: smooth and flowing when the snow is fresh; responsive and precise when it gets firmer. The width means it prefers firmer or less deep snow as it doesn’t have the float of some of the wider models, but the dimensions do mean it is nimble and quicker to respond.Skier TypeIt’s a light ski but it doesn’t lack in performance so it can be pushed hard, yet the shape ensures it is never demanding to ski. Perfect for a mix of abilities from good intermediates to expert skiers.OverviewShapeThe relatively long taper on the tip and tail give the ski comfortable handling whatever the conditions and create effortless turn initiation and release. 88mm in the waist is ideal for touring where the snow is less likely to reach bottomless levels, meaning it is lighter and performs better when conditions aren’t so deep or fresh. It does have enough width and the shape and technology still mean it will float and ski smoothly if you do find untracked snow.RockerRipsticks use Amphibio technology, a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. These skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability, while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.CoreThe Tubelite Woodcore uses a super lightweight carbon tube inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. The tube runs the length of the ski and provides torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.ConstructionThe 360 Degree Sidewall saves weight and ensures good power transfer and precision. Pyramidal shaped sidewalls are positioned throughout the whole length of the ski, to increase vibration absorption and high-speed stability. Carbon is used in the layup as it’s lightweight, strong and provides additional support and reinforcement. Fibreglass reinforcement optimises the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski.Key FeaturesCarbon Bridge TechnologyNext level stability. Carbon Bridge Technology is a revolutionary solution where a single carbon rod placed on the upper part of the ski provides stability, dampening and vibration absorption through the tip.Amphibio ProfileAmphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis.

Stable, smooth and precise yet still playful, the Black edition is one the most impressive and versatile skis on the mountain. Using the same platform as the excellent Ripstick 96, it builds on this by increasing the amount of carbon and using QuadRod technology in the core, resulting in better precision and edge grip with no significant extra weight. On hardpack it is powerful and confident, in soft snow it floats and handle like a true freeride thoroughbred, all the time with the most effortless handling and control.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This a great example of a freeride ski, capable of skiing anywhere on the mountain, not just powder or mainly firm conditions, but everywhere. Taking everything that is good about the standard Ripstick and by adding extra carbon and QuadRod technology, the Black edition adds an extra level of performance with increased precision, grip and response. It's got the width and shape to work really well in soft snow, with good float and easy handling. The Amphibio asymmetric camber/rocker aids the edge hold and feeling of positivity on pistes without making the ski any harder to use. There's no metal in the ski but thanks to Amphibio Carbon Line it doesn’t need it for hard snow performance. The flex feels perfect on all terrain, even on the steepest, firmest runs the Black edition still delivers. Thanks to it being relatively lightweight, mounting it with a BC binding is an option if you want to do the occasional trip away from the lifts. Skier TypeThe Ripstick is aimed at advanced and expert skiers wanting a freeride option, maybe as a single ski quiver or maybe as a second ski to compliment a piste model. There's no metal but the use of the Amphibio Carbon Line technology means it still delivers the precision that the best skiers demand and thanks to clever design, it isn't tricky to use. OverviewShape96mm in the waist is a key part of what makes this a true freeride ski that can double as an all mountain model for those who want ultimate versatility. It's wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the frontside. The tip and tail taper design keeps it feeling comfortable in every turn shape, on any surface. The relatively long nose and tail provide forgiveness and stability.RockerRipsticks use Amphibio technology, a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis.

The elan Voyager is the world's first high-performance, folding all mountain ski. A convenient option that folds down to under 1m for easy storage and carriage; and a no compromise ski for demanding skiers. The key is elan's revolutionary Connect Technology, a four axis system mechanism that bonds and seals the ski at the folding joint and integrates with a carbon reinforced plate that serves as a load bearing platform. Surprisingly simple to use and exceptionally strong it's unlike anything else on the mountain. It isn't just a high-tech piece of engineering, it's also an impressive performer on piste and all mountain with design borrowed from race products and thanks to the 78mm waist and Amphibio rocker it is also very capable away from the groomers. The package consists of skis, bindings, telescopic poles, travel bag with room for skis, boots and clothes, plus a snow removal brush and drying cloth. Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It has a piste construction, but it's definitely not exclusively for groomed terrain. It has enough width to deal with some exploring and fresh snow too. The construction ensures it will handle the firmest and fastest runs with precision, power and grip.Skier TypeIt might fold but this does not affect the performance in any way, this is high speed cruiser that delivers power and grip when you push it, but thanks to Amphibio Technology it's never hard to ski either. Ideal for advanced skiers who want convenience and performance.OverviewShape78mm in the waist hits the jackpot for a ski that will rip trenches on the piste and still enjoy runs down the sides of marked trails and in fresh snow. The radius is ideal for a mix of turn shapes and the contact points are near the ends of the tip and tail to maximise the contact length and edge grip.RockerAmphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. These skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability, while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.CoreWood core with Titanal reinforcement and Carbon Box provides superior edge control an a progressive flex pattern for high performance skiing.ConstructionRST Sidewall Construction optimises the transfer of power and energy from the skier to the edge, providing maximum edge hold from the tip to the tail of the ski. As used on elan's race models.Key FeaturesConnect Folding TechnologyThe secret of the Voyager is elan's revolutionary Connect Technology which uses a four-axis mechanism that bonds and seals the ski together at the folding joint. This combines with a carbon-reinforced fusion plate that serves as a load-bearing platform for support. The two components work together to provide rigidity to the ski for superior performance, but also allow the ski to fold into a compact, easy to transport package. The ski delivers a never-seen-before folding functionality, so part of design is in the role of intuitive folding ability. The fold/unfold is achieved by rotational moves to allow snow or ice to slide out of the way. The areas that are exposed to folding & rotation are designed with care for long-term usage, even after countless repetition. From folded position to unfolded position, it takes around 15-30 seconds to assemble both skis into skiing position. It is a very convenient and easy process. First, you unlock the safety mechanism, then unfold it, rotate the plate in any direction, and align it to the ski. To finish the process, lock the mechanisms in front and back of the plate and release the brake lock to secure the skiing mode. every step of the process is marked on the ski itself to prevent errors. The reverse process is the same in time and steps.Voyager Travel BagPremium ski bag designed specifically to carry the Voyager skis and poles plus all your ski gear. There's enough room for boots, helmet and all your outwear. 2 Large compartments, two zipped front pockets, internal mesh pockets, silent wheels and ID pocket. extendable handle and carry handles.

The all-new Nordica Santa Ana 84 is the narrowest of the award winning Santa Ana models, a range known for their smooth and balanced ride. The 84 keeps these traits and matches them with dimensions that suit pistes and easier off piste. The shape ensures versatility with easy turn initiation whatever the snow conditions and good hold right through the turn. A wood core is paired with carbon strips and a Titanal sheet to produce impressive edge grip and dampen vibrations. Cruising blues with lazy turns, or faster carves down choppy reds, even searching away from pistes for fresh snow, the Santa Ana 84 has it all covered.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Mainly pistes and, thanks to its shape and construction, it doesn't matter what condition they are in, the Santa Ana 84 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 84 will be comfortable on easier off-piste too, so some exploring is on the cards.Skier TypeIntermediate 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.OverviewShapeIt's the narrowest of the Santa Ana family at 84mm in the waist and the most piste focused. The tip borrows heavily from the rest of the range with a long nose for a smooth ride in softer/rougher conditions, but the tail differs with the contact points nearer the extremity and squarer shape for better grip through the end of the turn. The 14m radius (158cm) suits a variety of turns and conditions, ideal for a ski that will spend lots of time on piste as well some less technical off piste.RockerAll Mountain Rocker uses a 30/50/20 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.CoreThe powerful energy Ti W core uses a full wood core with a Titanal sheet positioned above. The metal dampens vibrations and improves stability, the wood adds energy and response. True Tip Technology extends the core into the tip and lightens the overall weight as well as increasing manoeuvrability.ConstructionSidewalls offer the best in energy transmission and edge grip; the new Carbon Chassis reduces weight and increases stability.Key FeaturesCarbon ChassisNordica's carbon-reinforced chassis weighs about 35% less than traditional glass. Full-length carbon strips not only reduce the chassis weight, they also increase the ski's strength and stability. The result is a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that's also more playful and versatile.True Tip TechnologyBy 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 were able to increase playfulness and manoeuvrability of the ski. At the same they have maintained the classic powerful and stable feel that enforcers are known for.Terrain Specifc MaterialBy adding the same shaped metal plate inside the different models of skis, the amount of metal increases propotionally going from the wider models to the narrower ones. Through this technology, Nordica are 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. This keeps the weight down whist still using metal dampening and provides the right amlout of stability and playfulness.eB tester’s comments: Claire (Milton Keynes) I'd describe myself as a high-intermediate to advanced skier who will ski anywhere and this ticked a lot of my boxes.

Make the ascent easier and the descent more fun with the Santa Ana 88 Unlimited, an ideal option for experienced and novice BC skiers. It stands in a position of its own thanks to its soft snow influenced shape that is more similar to 95mm waisted skis whilst having a width closer to many firmer snow and weight obsessed models that are around 85mm. The elongated nose means it keeps a strong freeride influence and provides impressive handling in soft and cruddy snow. The shortened contact length increases ease of use in a variety of conditions; the narrow waist ensures quick response and a nimbleness that shines on pistes or firmer conditions. It’s based on the Santa Ana 88 so uses a proven and successful shape, and saves weight thanks to Carbon Chassis LT, the poplar wood core and True Tip Technology. Available exclusively at ellis Brigham.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pretty much everywhere on the mountain, especially for the realists who know that the mountain has every condition and the powder days are the rarity. Being 88m in waist means it isn’t for someone hunting out deep snow and skiing in the expectation of fresh conditions, but the narrower waist does suit tighter spots and firmer snow whilst the shape provides smooth tracking even it’s rough or when you get lucky and it’s fresh untracked snow. It’ll even ski pistes all day long.Skier Typeexperienced and novice BC skiers who aren’t looking for a wide ski, but want something that will still work in softer snow. The construction and shape ensure that it has exceptional control yet it’s easy to use and will inspire confidence in all conditions.OverviewShapeThe Unlimited borrows heavily from the standard enforcers with the long gradual nose and smooth rocker at the front. This, combined with the construction, makes for smooth handling in tricky and soft snow, as well as nicely predictable turn initiation. The 88mm 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.Rockerearly Rise Tip and Tail 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.CoreThe core uses a poplar wood for weight saving and good energy and response.

The Santa Ana 93 is the result of a gradual evolution, sharing the name of older versions and taking all the good parts to build on them. All the hard work was done 2 years ago and this 22/23 model just updates the graphics. True Tip reduces the overall weight and increases the manoeuvrability and playfulness by getting rid of excess ABS material and using lightweight wood. Carbon Chassis keeps the weight down whilst also improving the strength and the stability. This is an all-terrain ski that shines in anything from hardpack to powder days, the shape makes it feel like a wider ski in soft snow and the construction ensures it deals with pistes and rough conditions.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Santa Ana 93 sits in the all mountain category but it could sit just as well be positioned as a freeride model. The tip shape taper plus the rocker make it suit soft snow, whilst the width and powerful construction add all mountain characteristics and ensure it will happily carve up pistes too. This makes it an ideal choice for skiers who will spend a good amount of time off-piste and who recognise that powder days are, in reality, few and far between, and they get their kicks searching different terrain and skiing every condition. The long nose and firm flex work especially well when the snow is rough or chopping-up, where some skis might start to feel unstable the 93 cuts through it with ease.Skier TypeConfident skiers who want a ski that really will go everywhere without compromise. Its wood and twin metal construction does mean it requires decent technique or power to get the most out of it; the shape ensures it will deal with every condition and terrain.OverviewShapeIt's a model that borrows heavily from earlier versions with the long gradual nose and smooth rocker at the front, but now has a longer turn radius which improves stability. This, combined with the construction, makes for smooth handling in tricky and soft snow, as well as nicely predictable turn initiation. The 93mm waist is the ideal size to work on hard snow and still make the most of fresh stuff. even on deeper days it planes really well thanks to the blend of shaping and rocker.RockerAll Mountain Rocker uses a 30/50/20 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.CoreThe powerful energy Ti W core uses a full wood core with a Titanal sheet positioned above. The metal dampens vibrations and improves stability, the wood adds energy and response. True Tip Technology extends the core into the tip and lightens the overall weight as well as increasing manoeuvrability.ConstructionSidewalls offer the best in energy transmission and edge grip; the new Carbon Chassis reduces weight and increases stability.Key FeaturesCarbon ChassisNordica's carbon-reinforced chassis weighs about 35% less than traditional glass. Full-length carbon strips not only reduce the chassis' weight, they also increase the ski's strength and stability. The result is a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that's also more playful and versatile.True Tip TechnologyBy 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 were able to increase playfulness and manoeuvrability of the ski. At the same they have maintained the classic powerful and stable feel that enforcers are known for.Terrain Specifc MaterialBy adding the same shaped metal plate inside the different models of skis, the amount of metal increases propotionally going from the wider models to the narrower ones. Through this technology, Nordica are 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. This keeps the weight down whist still using metal dampening and provides the right amlout of stability and playfulness.eB tester’s comments: Ailsa (Covent Garden) A really nice all condition ski for someone who wants the freedom to go where they want, when they want.

The Nordica Belle DC 72 is our Women’s ski of the Year, a performance model that will comfortably cover mile after mile of piste as fast you want to take it. The shape ensures clean precise turns and the innovative Double Core construction provides the right amount of power and exceptional dampening. It will carve down the steepest, firmest runs when you want to push the limits and flow effortlessly along cruisy groomers when it’s time to take it easy. A huge testers’ favourite.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes all the way – done at every speed and riding the edge right through the turns (though the tip and tail aren’t so stiff that it won’t comfortably ease away if you want it to).Skier TypeAdvanced skiers who want a ski with good grip. It’s not hard to use but it does feel precise and responsive, suiting skiers with decent skills. Not every turn needs to be carved because the initiation and release are smooth, which also means it isn’t a tiring ski, but if you have the legs then it will back you all the way through committed turns at speed.OverviewShapeThis is a thoroughbred piste machine so there is plenty of shape and the possibility of all kinds of turn sizes, though it does have a preference for tighter carves. The contact points extend right into the tip for the maximum contact length and best edge grip from the very start of the turn; the tail is lightly more rounded, giving the skier the choice to hold the turn all the way through or to smoothly release before the end. 12.8m (156cm) radius and 72mm waist.RockerOn Piste Rocker uses a small amount of tip rocker to improve stability and help with smooth initiation, whilst the almost full camber ensures the best spread of energy and excellent rebound. A very small amount of tail rocker eases the turn release, especially in less than ideal conditions.CoreBelle Double Core Technology is an innovative construction designed and realised by the Nordica Research and Development department for women. By dividing the wood core in two parts, an additional space is obtained, called the Pulse Core. The Pulse Core can be filled with the best material to meet the skiers' needs. In this case a rubber layer is used, which improves and balances the rebound effect for a smoother ride. The result is a ski that has great flex control, is stable and supportive, and has exceptional dampening.ConstructionSidewall construction ensures excellent grip and precise control.Key FeaturesNatural StanceDesigning skis built specifically for women, allows Nordica to specifically tailor the mounting position for women.

It uses the same tech and construction, it's just freshened up with a new graphic. The enforcers are powerful all terrain models that strike an impressive balance between stability and fun. Other wood/metal skis might offer similar grip but they miss the energy of the enforcers. This new 94 version is a versatile freeride ski that deals with anything from hardpack to powder days. The shape makes it feel like a wider ski in soft snow and the construction ensures it deals with pistes and rough conditions. effective updates to the build, core and tip have resulted in a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that’s also playful and versatile.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The enforcer 94 sneaks into the freeride category but it could sit just as well with the more adventurous all mountain skis. The tip shape. taper plus the rocker make it suit soft snow, whilst the width and powerful construction add all mountain characteristics and ensure it will happily carve up pistes tii. This makes it ideal choice for skiers who will spend a good amount of time off-piste and who recognise that powder days are, in reality, few and far between, and they get their kicks searching different terrain and skiing every condition. The long nose and firm flex work especially well when the snow is rough or chopping-up, where some skis might start to feel unstable the 94 cuts through it with ease.Skier TypeConfident skiers who want a ski that really will go everywhere without compromise. Its wood and twin metal construction does mean it requires decent technique or power to get the most out of it; the shape ensures it will deal with every condition and terrain.OverviewShapeIt’s a model that borrows heavily from previous versions with the long gradual nose and smooth rocker at the front, but now has a longer turn radius which improves stability. This, combined with the construction, makes for smooth handling in tricky and soft snow, as well as nicely predictable turn initiation. The 94mm waist is the ideal size to work on hard snow and still make the most of fresh stuff. even on deeper days it planes really well thanks to the blend of shaping and rocker.RockerAll Mountain Rocker uses a 30/50/20 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.CoreThe powerful energy 2 Ti core uses a full wood core with Titanal sheets above and below it.

It’s aimed at advanced and expert skiers; intermediates will never get the most out of it and would be better looking elsewhere.OverviewShapeThe iconic model of the Dobermann family was born from the natural evolution of the multi-radius concept, a special development that Nordica introduced and perfected over time. The combination of different sidecuts gives the ski a shape able to accommodate more radii. From the tail to the tip, the ski recalls the geometries of the GS models, while the shape of the tip is inspired by the SL ones. The 70 is the narrowest of the Pro models and this makes it the quickest edge-to-edge with lightning response and precision. 15m radius (165cm) with a 70mm waist.RockerFull camber for the maximum grip and rebound.CoreThe energy 2 Ti core uses a full wood core and 2 Titanal layers to produce great edge and stability with a World Cup feeling of precision, speed and playfulness.ConstructionSidewall construction ensures excellent grip and precise control.Key FeaturesMulti Radius ProThe multi radius concept took the shape of Nordica’s SL skis to the develop the tips and tails, and GS body.
