Key Features:
- 86mm Waist Width – At 86mm underfoot, there’s enough platform to stomp huge hits and a narrow enough base to be quick in transition.
- Rocker / Camber / Rocker Construction – Rocker in the tip and tail make for easy turn initiation, while camber underfoot ensures edge hold and stability at speed.
- Aspen Core – Aspen wood is light, energetic, and flexible for a great buttering ski with tons of pop.
- Carbon – Carbon braids add pop and rebound.

 Hi, my name is Katie, I just got off riding the K2 Empress. This is a really great front side kind of beginner park ski. It does have a twin tip construction and it's 86 underfoot so really you could take it a little bit more all-mountain if you wanted to, maybe do a little backside. It's super light, with that twin tip construction you can definitely work on your skills a little bit, you know, riding backwards, kind of spinning, so it's really easy to maneuver so it does initiate those turns really well

The K2 Empress is always a favorite choice for the beginner to intermediate skiing tweener or teen who is looking for all-mountain and park capabilities. K2's All-Terrain Twin Rocker has a rockered tip and tail that adds a very playful and easy touch to the empress. A Carbon Boost Braid uses full length carbon stringers that provide an extra boost when it comes time to catch some air. The Aspen DuraCap Construction is forgiving enough for a mellow skier to test their skill with enough room to keep the intermediate stable and happy as she finds her speed limit. If you have a young lady who is ready for an all-mountain twin that rides in the freestyle terrain and the rest of the mountain, behold the K2 Empress.

The Nordica Santa Ana 98 is the type of ski you could buy, throw in the rooftop box, and not have to worry about having enough space for the rest of your stuff. Instead of having to pack a ski for groomers and a ski for powder days, the Nordica provides you with an all-in-one option. The Santa Ana 98 performed particularly well in the crud, staying stiff enough to punch through anything the mountain threw at it. It also floats well in powder, feels stable at high speeds, can carve a mean arc, and pivots easily around a mogul field.
While we appreciated the reliability of this ski, we didn't experience any wow-factor and didn't feel a lot of rebound or responsiveness under our feet. That said, it took us everywhere we wanted to go at the resort and handled every snow condition, so there's something to be said for dependability. If you don't need something to excite you and want a single ski that can do everything well, the Santa Ana 98 is your match made in heaven.

Nordica’s Santa Ana (the women’s counterpart to the popular unisex Enforcer) is an impressively versatile design and legendary in the all-mountain ski category. Key to the collection’s well-rounded performance is Nordica’s terrain-specific metal construction, which means that each ski utilizes a different amount of metal to tailor stiffness to the intended conditions: The narrowest 84-millimeter option is the most metal-heavy for maximum stability on hard snow, while the widest Santa Ana 110 Free is the softest and most playful in powder. The Santa Ana 98 here sits squarely in the middle, offering a real Goldilocks experience for most riders: This ski is reliable on hardpack, agile in the bumps, maneuverable in powder, and blasts through crud with control and confidence.

There’s no denying that the Nordica Santa Ana 98 does everything well, but it’s not the most playful all-mountain ski—for that, we turn to the Black Crows Atris Birdie below. Further, while it performs reasonably well in the bumps, we found that the Santa Ana lacks the rebound required for quickly pivoting through other types of tight spaces. To be fair, it’ll certainly get the job done (especially if you’re a confident rider who doesn’t mind the added effort to throw it around), but those who prioritize a nimble and agile ride will be better off with an option like Icelantic’s Riveter 95 below. That said, we keep coming back to versatility: The Santa Ana has a very natural and predictable feel that will make most riders happy, earning it our top spot for the 2022-2023 season...

The 2023 Nordica Santa Ana 98 is meant for advanced to expert women skiers who will boldly go through any terrain. This ski is able to maintain a stronghold of icy groomers while being playful in soft snow. The Santa Ana 98 is the perfect one-ski quiver for true all-mountain skiers.
Key Features:
- Women's-Specific Construction – Nordica ensured that the Santa Ana line isn't just a smaller copy of the men's Enforcer line, as they thoughtfully reduced the metal layers from two to one to better match a woman's physics.
- Terrain Specific Metal – Nordica knows that each ski in their Santa Ana line targets different skiers, so they have tailored the metal constructions to match the need of each waist width.
- Carbon Chassis – This technology allows this ski to be lighter while bolstering stability to improve versatility across different types of terrain.
- True Tip – Nordica removed the plastic in the tip to further reduce the weight of this ski while enhancing maneuverability.
