As the middle player in the Wild Belle lineup, the Nordica Wild Belle 78 CA Skis bridge the gap between entry-level performance and expert applications. At 78mm underfoot, the Wild Belle 78 is quick and easy to turn and boasts the shape, profile, and construction required to excel on groomed terrain. Unlike its wider counterpart, the Wild Belle 78 falls squarely in the frontside category and thus appeals to more intermediate skiers who rarely venture off-trail. Its simple build and Rubber Pulse Core remain inviting to less experienced rippers by creating an exquisitely damp ride that, although lively, keeps vibration and chatter in check, no matter the speed. As a result, the Wild Belle 78 continues Nordica’s trend of confident progression by endowing intermediate skiers with an intuitive ride that lacks the element of aggression found in titanal-powered skis. When combined with a turn radius of 12.8 at the 156cm length, the Wild Belle 78 becomes surprisingly snappy and presents progressing skiers with a quick-turning ride that holds a strong edge on firm terrain. Though rather intuitive in their feel, the Nordica Wild Belle 78 CA Skis remain nothing short of capable and provide female rippers with the foundation they need to excel exponentially, all season long.
