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.

Best Skis for Women of 2022 - GearLab

 98 is a very happy medium, fantastic color weight, beautiful beautiful, looking ski nordica's nailed it again: um great ski [, Music, ], [, Music ]. You 

 Love really completes that turn really drives into the turn. I like that. A lot um 98 underfoot for norway, perfect yeah it'll, give you a little bit of float uh when there is some snow today we have hard pack - and this was this - is perfect. Um so again, don't be afraid to go a little bit longer in a ski

 It'S got like the metal sheets that i quite like, because it gives a lot of stability. It'S poppy, it's pivoty, it's fun, um fabulous, didn't feel too much at all on this uh groom. These groomed conditions here at northway we're getting really hard packed. So the edges were fantastic made

 Like this you're losing some of the ski in the tip and tail with that twin profile, it's nice transfer of energy, it's fun all around 98 is a fantastic width. The 165 length is really good for my um stature. I think i don't know if i'd go. Any longer jf, i don't think i'd go shorter

NORDICA SANTA ANA 98 | 2021 SKI TEST

 Rather than a high speed tool for strong skiers, this feels more suited to being an everyday ski for intermediates, but at a price point most skiers would be happy with. And that trickle-down graphic from the more freeride-focussed models does make for genuine good looks and rack appeal.

Nordica Santa Ana 88 2020-21

 I had the older, heavier, double-titanal-layer version of the Santa Ana 110 in a 177 cm and hadn’t really skied them before taking them out on vacation. I was hesitant to ski them since 177 cm was longer than my typical ski length but my hesitation disappeared after my first run down a chopped-up groomer. The skis dampened the chop and I absolutely flew down the mountain. I felt like a rockstar every time I skied them in heavy and deep chop

The Santa Ana 98’s recommended mount point is in line with most Santa Ana and Enforcer skis we’ve tried over the years, sitting at about -8 cm back from the true center of the ski. I skied the Santa Ana 98 on the recommended mount point and felt no need to move away from it.The Santa Ana series is known for being on the heavier side of the spectrum and the 98 is no exception. Below is a list of weights for a number of skis in the 93-102 mm range

 But the Santa Ana 98 continues to be one of our top recommendations for advanced and expert skiers who want a dependable ski that’s quite stable, carves well in most conditions, and is energetic coming out of a turn.”The shape and rocker profile of the Santa Ana 98 didn’t change much at all from the previous Santa Ana 100, and in fact, the dimensions are almost identical. The Santa Ana 98 still has a slightly tapered tip and tail, moderate tip and tail rocker, and some camber underfoot. This makes for a ski that initiates turns easily and that holds its edge well

Regardless, for those who were worried that the revised Santa Ana skis would lose a lot of stability or suspension when they lost their second sheet of metal, I wouldn’t be too concerned.1556 & 1575 Liberty Genesis 96, 165 cm (19/20–20/21)1592 & 1637 Head Kore 97 W, 170 cm (21/22)1622 & 1638 Blizzard Black Pearl 88, 165 cm (20/21–22/23)1638 & 1639 Atomic Maven 93 C, 172 cm (21/22–22/23)1687 & 1695 Elan Ripstick 102 W, 170 cm (20/21–22/23)1693 & 1710 Moment Sierra, 172 cm (21/22)1709 & 1710 Blizzard Sheeva 10, 172 cm (17/18–22/23)1762 & 1801 K2 Mindbender 98Ti Alliance, 168 cm (19/20–21/22)1792 & 1792 Nordica Santa Ana 104 Free, 172 cm (20/21–22/23)1797 & 1839 Rossignol Rallybird 102, 170 cm (20/21–22/23)1812 & 1817 Salomon Stance 94 W, 174 cm (20/21–22/23)1831 & 1852 Rossignol Rallybird 104 Ti, 171 cm (20/21–22/23)1833 & 1842 Volkl Secret 96, 163 cm (21/22–22/23)1881 & 1895 Salomon QST Lumen 99, 174 cm (19/20–21/22)1903 & 1917 Nordica Santa Ana 93, 172 cm (20/21–22/23)1917 & 1935 Nordica Santa Ana 98, 172 cm (20/21–22/23)1933 & 1975 Volkl Secret 96, 170 cm (21/22–22/23)1955 & 1990 Coalition Snow SOS, 173 cm (19/20–20/21)1969 & 1988 4FRNT MSP CC, 171 cm (20/21–22/23)1983 & 1999 Nordica Santa Ana 100, 177 cm (18/19 – 19/20)2015 & 2024 Blizzard Black Pearl 97, 171 cm (20/21–22/23)2104 & 2115 Volkl Secret 102, 170 cm (19/20–21/22)Now, onto how all of this translates to on-snow performance:Kristin Sinnott (5’8”, 125 lbs / 172 cm, 56.7 kg): My first turns on the Santa Ana 98 were on a smooth groomer and the skis felt intuitive, poppy, fast, and fun from the first turns. I flew down the mountain and I had no idea I was skiing faster than normal until I got to the lift and had to wait for everyone else
