In keeping playfulness and power at the forefront of performance, the Nordica Santa Ana Free 104 Skis achieve unrivaled enjoyment in a freeride setting. At 104mm underfoot, the Santa Ana Free 104 is the widest ski in the Santa Ana lineup and offers the best deep snow performance out of the series. Featuring significantly less metal than its narrower sisters, it’s no surprise that the Santa Ana Free 104 is the most playful of the bunch and—when combined with a Powder Rocker Profile—the surfiest option, too, resulting in a more forgiving ride that prioritizes float over stability. Though primarily a deep snow performer, the Santa Ana Free 104’s expertise extends far beyond the waist-deep and can rally all over the mountain in true freeride form. With a 16-meter turn radius at the 165cm length, the Santa Ana Free 104 is far from incapable and boasts a surprisingly energetic feel that really comes alive in firmer terrain. The implementation of Nordica’s Carbon Chassis aids in such liveliness by giving this already renowned performer a smooth and playful attitude that remains accessible and easy to ski, while a forgiving flex pattern gives the Nordica Santa Ana 104 Skis the creative boost they need to remain loved by many and skied by all.
