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. They are so smooth and easy to ski but still nimble plus hold well on hard snow and they're a perfect construction for a mix of conditions. Just awesome, I love them!Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)151119841041315812084105141651208410515General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

Head’s Shape eV5 is a fun and lively intermediate piste ski that has just enough width to try a little exploring too. It was a ski that surprised us on testing, way exceeding our expectation with much more grip and stability than many skis much more expensive. It had no issue dealing with the firmer and rougher snow, happily putting down clean controlled turns and encouraging speed. On softer snow the balanced handling made terrain changes easy. The construction ensures it isn’t heavy, but also that it still feels super comfortable; the eRA 3.0 and shape make turning effortless, and the 74mm waist is the perfect all-round dimension for hard snow with some softer bits thrown in.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Lots of time on pistes whatever condition they’re in, especially fast, cruisy red runs, and some exploring off the sides looking for new challenges and terrain. It has surprising amounts of grip and encourages the skier to hold the carve a bit longer, push a bit faster and to progress. This applies especially on groomed snow and, thanks to how stable it feels, also on unpisted terrain where the always predictable handling will boost confidence.Skier TypeGood intermediates who are learning how to control skis at all speeds and in various conditions.OverviewShapeThe eV5 has so much shape they even include it in the name. This ski is seriously curvey with a big wide nose that works with the rocker to initiate turns effortlessly. The waist is 74mm, an ideal size so that piste response is not affected yet with just enough width to feel stable in rougher and softer snow for some off piste exploring. The tails are rounded I shape to ease turn release when conditions or terrain are trickier.RockerAllride Rocker uses tip rocker and camber underfoot; perfect for skiers who feel comfortable on any slopes. It enables superior steering and increases floatation. The camber ensures grip and precision on hard snow.CoreA vertically laminated wood core has a composite sock around it. This combination results in good vibration control, no excess weight and a smooth ride that suits ambitious skiers who don’t want all out power.ConstructionPower Sidewall Jacket Construction is a mouthful, but it gives a lot of clues to what it does and how it’s made. A cap construction enhances durability and sits on top of ABS Sidewalls which provide precise energy transmission. As well as the wood composite core, a layer of Graphene is used to keep the ski light but also increase the strength.Key FeatureseMC Fenergy Management Circuit Front, the world's only electronic ski dampening system. When the ski bends and vibrates, it takes the kinetic energy in the ski and transfers it into electrical energy, which is then used to absorb negative vibrations for a more stable experience. Smooth skiing and exceptional edge grip, whatever the conditions.eRA 3.0eRA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape and geometry using a targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, a progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres. The rocker improves steering and enhances soft snow versatility. The progressive radius at the tip means that even though there is rocker, less angulation is required to get full edge contact, resulting in better grip. Intellifibers in the tip dampen vibrations for a smoother ride.GrapheneGraphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the construction Head can reduce weight and increase strength of the ski.eB tester’s comments: Sean (Liverpool) Great edge hold on hard snow and quick response and easy in short turns with plenty of bite if you want to go a bit faster. Will make a perfect first-time carving ski.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1561287410910.2.1631287410913.170128741091318451771287410915.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: Integrated, PR 11 GWDIN: 3 - 11Construction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, Composite, GrapheneDemo: Yes [Full Details]
Designed to climb easily on tours and handle any terrain encountered on the ski down. A Carbon Backbone through the length of the ski provides exceptional agility and edge grip, adding only minimal grams. The Ultra Light Woodcore keeps the weight low and adds to the feeling of energy and life. HRZN Tech at the tip improves the handling and control in softer and rougher snow. Suited for those who are seeking an all-round, tour-anywhere set up. Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The width dictates that this isn’t the right option for anyone dreaming of bottomless days and fresh snow, but it does mean that the 85 is quick and nimble for skiing in tight spaces. It’s also not the skinniest ski on the mountain and will happily deal with choppier conditions and deeper snow. The flex feels nice and solid for the weight of the ski, giving it excellent edge hold and making it a good choice for skiers who demand performance so they can feel secure and really enjoy the ride down after the climb up.Skier TypeBackcountry skiers who want to keep the weight to a minimum for the maximum ease when travelling longer distances, but who do not want to sacrifice performance. The 85 has plenty of grip and energy when skiing firmer snow. It’ll suit a wide variety of skiers from novices all the way to experienced skiers tackling everything on the mountain.OverviewShapeA directional shape with tip rocker means predictable handling and more of the ski’s edge in contact with the snow, resulting in better grip and stability. 85mm in the waist is narrow enough to remain nimble and quick edge-to-edge but there’s enough wide there if you do find some softer snow and want some width underfoot. The 17m radius (172cm) is long enough to boost the stability, helping the ski track cleanly whatever the snow condition. The HRZN Tech tip further improves the overall handling with a horizontal rocker that increases surface area.RockerAll Mountain Rocker use a 15/85/0 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This mix ensures excellent grip and response on firmer snow and when traversing, with some rocker at the front for better planning in soft conditions and easy handling when steering the skis.CoreThe Ultra Light Woodcore is made from poplar and caruba to ensure the weight is kept right down.ConstructionCap Sidewall uses sidewall from the base to the top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge hold. The rounded shape adds durability as it picks up less dings and knocks.Key FeaturesHRZN Tech TipHRZN Tech blends an ABS sidewall construction with an across-the-ski (horizontal) rocker. This adds 10% more surface area in the tip and tail without increasing swing weight. The result is better tracking through chop and crud and less tip deflection – meaning greater stability, floatation and agility.Carbon BackboneAn ultra-light insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilising backbone. This provides exceptional agility and edge hold without extra weight.eB tester’s comments: Florrie (Covent Garden) A tour ski that surprised me handling a far wider range of terrain then I thought it would. Best thing is the balance of climbing efficiency to downhill performance! Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)15111485102.51415811585103.51516511685104.516General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, CarbonDemo: No [Full Details]
The Pagoda Tour 90 RP is a versatile, do-it-all touring ski ready for any extended mountain mission, equally at home on the front side of your favourite ski area for those early morning fitness laps. With a softer flex pattern optimized for lightweight boots and bindings in mixed conditions, the RP shaping family has always placed an emphasis on ease of use and manoeuvrability. The 90mm waist stays out of the way on kick turns and offers a lightweight platform for uphill speed. This all results in a ski perfect for tackling strenuous backcountry routes where lightweight efficiency is key, even in conditions where a wider ski might be tempting.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type An ideal choice for lighter bindings so you can do longer tours and still have a ski that has float for fresh snow. The shape and flex aim it more at playful skiing than charging steeper, technical routes, but thanks to the Carbon construction it is not short of grip when things get firm.BC skiers who want a balance of weight saving and a ski big enough to deal with more than just packed snow – they want some float for when the uphill is going to be rewarded with fresh snow turns! Yet it isn’t so big that it becomes cumbersome or tricky.OverviewShapeThe RP shape is both surfy and intuitive. 90mm underfoot provides enough platform for all conditions without being too wide; the tapered tip and tail initiate turns effortlessly and allows them to be exited with clean carves or easily washed out.RockerRocker at the tip and tail equates to 45% rocker. Sounds like a lot but it works perfectly with the shaping. The camber underfoot makes the most of the carbon construction and playful 15m radius.CoreAsh has aerospace grade foam stringers interspersed and Paulownia overlaid, creating a light buy strong core that has plenty of life and response. Third Rail Technology uses bio-based Algal Technology to improve stability.ConstructionThe updated Pagoda Tour construction benefits from meticulous attention to detail across the entire R+D process, from sourcing materials to finding the most optimal ratios between them. DPS have introduced Algal sidewalls and Third Rail Technology that are approximately 68% bio-based content improving performance and product sustainability. Their proprietary carbon laminate provides power and energy that’s balanced with an ash and paulownia wood species, and aerospace grade foam core. The final product is a construction, that encourages the skier to lap the skin track to their hearts content and enjoy the descent with the utmost confidence.Key FeaturesRP ShapingThe RP chassis started with the first Wailer 112 RP design that incorporated generous tip/tail rocker and taper. RP originally stood for ‘Resort Powder', and the legend began. Its shape opens doors and makes truly versatile powder planing accessible to many. The RP's core shaping equation is impressive, 45% rocker merged with a 15m sidecut and means natural, intuitive skiing.Third Rail TechnologyThird Rail Technology uses bio-based Algal Technology to improve stability.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1651179010515171118901061517911990106151841209010615General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Algal TechDemo: No [Full Details]

The Black Pearl has won our women's Overall Ski of the Year on multiple occassions and is considered to be the best-selling ski in the world, the model every brand aspires to. It's an all condition ski that is truly happy anywhere on the mountain, from smooth pistes to tricky off-piste runs, care-free cruising to fast, technical turns. The Flipcore WSD construction is the key, producing perfect handling and balance, boosting confidence and encouraging skiers to keep pushing themselves.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it the standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot isn't the choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. It also makes a surprisingly good choice for skiers who stay mainly on piste and will happily trade all-out piste perfomance for maxium stability and comfort whatever the snow.Skier TypeThis is one of the areas that makes the Black Pearl 88 such a special ski over all the previous seasons. It feels so good to a vast range of skiers from intermediates who want more confidence, to stronger advanced skiers who are already skiing the whole mountain comfortably. This universal appeal is the sign of a great ski.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. The turn radius of 15m (165cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreLite Core is a wood core that is naturally strong but lightweight for maximum performance without added weight. A carbon layer adds stability keeping the overall weight less than similar models using metal sheets. The new TrueBlend W.S.D. design keeps it feeling powerful underfoot as well as smooth and controllable at the tip and tail.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlend W.S.D.TrueBlend W.S.D. (Women's Specific Design) uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon Flipcore W.S.D.Built specifically for the women's models this method offers the perfect blend of light weight and high performance.

It's got all the power, grip and precision you'd expect, and the changes provide even better handling, with the initiation and completion phases becoming smoother and more intuitive; perfect improvements for skiing all conditions. It is oone of the finest examples of an all mountain ski on the market.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core, twin Titanal sheets and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it a standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot it isn't the right choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. The Brahma does actually ski softer snow suprisingly well compared to similar stiffer all mountain skis.Skier TypeThe Brahma 88 is a top choice for adventurous expert and advanced skiers, who like to go everywhere on the mountain and appreciate a ski with good grip and plenty of power. They'll already be skilled, though not necessarily great in all snow conditions, and will enjoy some speed.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the firm construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. At 17.5m (183cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreWood core with twin Titanal sheets running full length and bi-directional carbon in the tips and tails. The core is made using a method called TrueBlend (more on this below). The wood ensures good durability and liveliness, the metal stabilises the ski and the carbon reinforces the rocker for better precision.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlendTrueBlend uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon FlipcoreA revolutionary rockered ski production that incorporates bi-directional carbon fibre in the tips and tails of the ski to stabilise the rockered areas, reducing weight and vibrations. This process delivers more precision and performance, creating a smoother, calmer ride in an easy to ski package. The result is a perfect combination of pressure distribution, floatation, power and stability.eB tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) The use of the TrueBlend has taken nothing off the top-end performance and added exactly the right amount of ease of use at the start and end of the turn.

The latest Blizzard Zero G 95 takes everything good about the old model and builds on it to make what is possibly the most versatile touring and freeskiing model you will find. The Carbon Drive 3.0 has been tweaked to create slightly less rigidity in the tip and tail to improve control, without affecting stability or weight which was already at the lighter end of the scale for this width of ski. Downhill performance still comfortably matches or beats its competitors. Tip and tail rocker and a 95mm waist ensure all conditions are dealt with equally well. Carbon Reinforcement and a light paulownia wood core create a responsive, precise feel without being heavy.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everything that you can climb up to, from flowing powder fields to steep, icy technical descents. 95mm in the waist is a good all-rounder, tip and tail rocker suits firm or soft snow and the Carbon Drive 3.0 Construction offers precision for firm conditions without over stiffening the ski. It really is at home all over the mountain.Skier TypeGood all condition skiers who demand the very best downhill performance from a lightweight model. This the ski that has been to the top of Lhotse in the Himalayas and skied an epic couloir back down. It’s not going to disappoint.OverviewShapeA directional shape with tip and tail rocker means predictable handling in any condition. 95mm in the waist is narrow enough to remain nimble and quick edge-to-edge and there’s plenty of width when you do find softer or deeper snow and want some width underfoot. The 22m radius (178cm) sounds long and does provide a super stable feel, helping the ski track cleanly whatever the snow condition, but thanks to tip and tail rocker the ski is super easy to manoeuvre too.RockerPro Tip and Tail Rocker ensures smooth turning with effortless initiation and hassle-free release whatever the conditions.
