The Ski Monster

 It also uses one thin sheet of metal which is different from past versions. They did do this a couple years ago but now they've changed it to a terrain specific metal. And what that means is the wider the ski gets the more specific the metal is. So you know with the narrower skis there's going to be a larger ratio of metal to wood in order to have that edge control and then as you get wider there's less metal to wood ratio in order to have that float that you need in more powder days

 You know it's an 88 waist width so it's going to be able to hit the woods, the bumps, carve, be on the mainly on-piece but you can go off-piece if you'd like. Ability wise you know a high intermediate to an advanced skier with that metal in there it's going to be a little bit more demanding but if you are an intermediate and you just really liked this ski maybe a shorter length would be better because it wouldn't be overpowering and you would be able to maneuver it but it is definitely geared towards that advanced lady that can power the ski under their foot and carve a turn from edge to edge.

 In front of me I have Nordica Santa Anna 88 which is in their Santa Anna series. It's one up from their 84 and then there's a couple wider widths after this. Construction wise, like all the Santa Annas, it has a wood core with carbon into the construction that lightens it up and makes it very responsive. That carbon in there

 Also they've added their True Tip technology and what that does is it just reduces the weight in the tip of the skis which allows you to get into that turn and have an easier swing weight. It also is very responsive so if you're going to go over some crud it's going to absorb that feeling and take that away from your legs in the center of the ski and allow you to stay on edge. Another thing I really love about the Santa Annas is the shape of it. That shovel tip and a little bit of tail rocker allows you to be able to wiggle on the trees and the bumps if you'd like to but it also allows you to get on edge and hold that edge and that's what that metal does in the ski

2023 Nordica Santa Ana 88 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

 Hi skiers, Allie here from SkiEssentials.com with our 2023 ski test. In front of me I have

 Nordica Santa Anna 88 which is in their Santa Anna series. It's one up from their 84 and then

 there's a couple wider widths after this. Construction wise, like all the Santa Annas,

 it has a wood core with carbon into the construction that lightens it up and makes it very responsive.

 That carbon in there. It also uses one thin sheet of metal which is different from past versions.

 They did do this a couple years ago but now they've changed it to a terrain specific metal. And what

 that means is the wider the ski gets the more specific the metal is. So you know with the

 narrower skis there's going to be a larger ratio of metal to wood in order to have that edge control

 and then as you get wider there's less metal to wood ratio in order to have that float that you

 need in more powder days. So with the 88 this is really geared to that on-piece resort skier that

 wants that one ski quiver. It's a great frontside ski that's going to allow someone to get into the

 turn and have some fun out there. Also they've added their True Tip technology and what that

 does is it just reduces the weight in the tip of the skis which allows you to get into that turn

 and have an easier swing weight. It also is very responsive so if you're going to go over some crud

 it's going to absorb that feeling and take that away from your legs in the center of the ski and

 allow you to stay on edge. Another thing I really love about the Santa Annas is the shape of it.

 That shovel tip and a little bit of tail rocker allows you to be able to wiggle on the trees and

 the bumps if you'd like to but it also allows you to get on edge and hold that edge and that's what

 that metal does in the ski. It really powers the ski underneath your foot. Who I would put on this

 ski? Wide range of ladies. You know it's an 88 waist width so it's going to be able to hit the

 woods, the bumps, carve, be on the mainly on-piece but you can go off-piece if you'd like. Ability

 wise you know a high intermediate to an advanced skier with that metal in there it's going to be

 a little bit more demanding but if you are an intermediate and you just really liked this ski

 maybe a shorter length would be better because it wouldn't be overpowering and you would be

 able to maneuver it but it is definitely geared towards that advanced lady that can power the

 ski under their foot and carve a turn from edge to edge. For more information on the Santa Anna

 series or any of the other Nordica skis check us out at SkiEssentials.com or follow us on YouTube.

I rode these on mostly hard-packed snow and they were fast and smooth for the most part. However, as a beginner, I did find them a bit difficult to turn with. They also seem quite durable, I was not gentle with them and the top sheet is not peeling despite several scratches.

Fun but difficult

Consumer Reports

The Volkl M6 Mantra has truly earned our approval as the best all-mountain ski, keeping the Mantra series atop the podium once again. With high scores across all testing metrics, the M6 transmits a magnetic and confidence-inspiring ride to the skier through all types of terrain and snow conditions. Whether the forecast is unclear and snow conditions uncertain, staying true to your “Mantra” is what we recommend. With three of Volkl’s Tailored Technologies underfoot, be prepared to tackle anything the mountain throws your way.
This year Volkl introduces their 3D Radius Sidecut technology to the M6 Mantra. Boasting three different turn radii within the side of the ski, the M6 can achieve a different turn outcome depending on skier input. This new technology admittedly took some getting used to. However, we found the tech especially helpful when merging onto a new run with more traffic or exiting a mogul field back onto the groomer. The M6 Mantra is on the damp side of the spectrum for skis. But we can’t complain when the overall result is the superior combination of stability and maneuverability that this ski offers through icy groomers, afternoon chop and slop, and deep pow days.

Switchback Travel

On the heels of the extremely successful and well-loved M5, Volkl hasn’t rocked the boat too much with the new M6 Mantra. It remains an extremely powerful and precise all-mountain option that’s perfectly happy in the hands of hard chargers at speed. Volkl did make some tweaks to the Titanal Frame construction: shorter skis now have less metal and are a little softer, while longer options are stronger with more metal. You also get the brand’s 3D Radius (also found in the Kendo below), which effectively gives the ski three different turn radii. In practice, it’s pretty impressive, and the M6 feels comfortable at everything from tight and quick turns to wide GS sweepers.

It’s a close call between the M6 and Nordica Enforcer above, and both are versatile, standout models. In parsing out the differences, the Mantra is noticeably wider at the tip (by 8mm), and its stiffer build gives it the advantage in terms of stability. But the Nordica is more comfortable in tight spaces with its nimble, easier-to-manage flex (this also makes it a better option for intermediate-level skiers). Both are excellent one-quiver options for riders that spend the majority of their time on groomers or in regions with moderate snowfall. We think the Nordica is a bit more well-rounded, but if you prioritize unflappable performance in nearly all conditions, the M6 Mantra is hard to beat.See the Volkl M6 Mantra  See the Women's Volkl Secret
