Brand new for this season and ready to rip, the Nordica Steadfast 85 DC Skis are here to change the game for on-piste performance. At 85mm underfoot, the Steadfast 85 falls on the wider end of the frontside spectrum and features a noteworthy level of versatility commonly found in all-mountain skis. Though it sits quite nicely right between the two categories, the Steadfast 85 certainly leans more toward the carving side of things and features the shape, profile, and construction required to excel on groomed terrain. In enlisting the expertise of Nordica’s Double Core technology, the Steadfast 85 becomes impeccably smooth and generates a powerful ride that—when combined with an elastomer Pulse Core layer—charges ahead with a chatter-less feel. Despite the unique approach to the Steadfast 85’s construction, it remains relatively simple in its build and boasts an equally simple shape to top it all off. With a tiny bit of rocker in the tips and tails, the Steadfast 85 performs much like a fully-cambered ski and delivers the pop, power, and rebound required to satisfy the front-side’s most demanding carvers. Easily engaged, happily released, and confident at all speeds, the Nordica Steadfast 85 DC Skis reimagine what it means to be an excellent performer on-piste.
