The Nordica Santa Ana 92 Ski 2027 is a versatile women’s all-mountain ski designed to deliver confident performance across the entire mountain. With a 92 mm waist, balanced All Mountain Rocker Profile and Nordica’s TSM Pulse Core, it combines dependable edge control on groomed pistes with enough width and rocker to handle softer snow and variable conditions.
The Santa Ana 92 sits in the middle of Nordica’s Santa Ana range, making it an excellent choice for skiers looking for one ski capable of handling piste, bumps, variable snow and moderate powder. Its relatively narrow all-mountain waist keeps it quick from edge to edge, while the wider tip and tail provide additional stability and float when conditions become softer. The 2026/27 model retains the successful Santa Ana platform while using Nordica’s refined TSM Pulse Core construction for a smooth, damp and highly controlled ride.
Key Features
- 92 mm waist – a versatile width that balances quick edge-to-edge performance with useful soft-snow flotation.
- TSM Pulse Core – full wood-core construction combined with an elastomer Pulse material and terrain-specific metal reinforcement for stability, smoothness and vibration absorption.
- All Mountain Rocker Profile – rocker at the tip and tail combined with camber underfoot for easy turn initiation, improved flotation and strong edge engagement.
- Progressive sidecut – designed to provide predictable turn initiation and stability through a broad range of turn shapes.
- True Tip technology – reduces unnecessary material in the tip, helping lower swing weight and improve manoeuvrability.
- 92 mm platform – narrow enough for confident piste skiing while remaining versatile enough for soft snow.
- Women’s-specific Santa Ana design – tuned to provide an accessible blend of stability, responsiveness and manoeuvrability.
- Flat ski configuration – supplied without bindings, allowing the skier to select a binding system to suit their boots and setup.
TSM Pulse Core Construction
At the heart of the Santa Ana 92 is Nordica’s TSM Pulse Core. The construction combines a full wood core with an elastomer material, creating a ski that feels smooth and composed while retaining plenty of energy.
The Pulse material helps absorb unwanted vibration, particularly when skiing firm pistes, chopped-up snow and changing terrain. At the same time, terrain-specific metal reinforcement provides additional stability where it is needed without making the entire ski excessively stiff or demanding.
This gives the Santa Ana 92 a particularly balanced character: it can be driven hard when conditions allow, but remains forgiving and manageable when skiing becomes more technical or variable.
All Mountain Rocker Profile
The Santa Ana 92 uses Nordica’s All Mountain Rocker Profile, combining camber beneath the foot with rocker towards the tip and tail.
This profile gives the ski three important characteristics:
- Camber underfoot maintains reliable edge contact and grip on firm snow.
- Tip rocker helps the ski rise naturally over softer snow and makes turn initiation easier.
- Tail rocker reduces the tendency of the tail to hook, making the ski easier to release and manoeuvre.
The result is a ski that can carve confidently on groomers while remaining comfortable when the snow becomes chopped up, soft or uneven.
92 mm Waist – The All-Mountain Sweet Spot
The 92 mm waist gives the Santa Ana 92 a particularly versatile personality.
Compared with narrower piste-focused skis, the additional width provides more surface area for skiing through soft snow and variable conditions. However, it remains substantially narrower than a dedicated powder ski, so it can still be rolled quickly from edge to edge on hardpack.
For skiers who spend most of their time exploring the whole resort rather than staying exclusively on groomed pistes, this makes the 92 a highly practical one-ski quiver.
True Tip Technology
Nordica’s True Tip construction removes unnecessary material from the tip of the ski.
Reducing mass at the very front of the ski helps lower the swing weight, making the Santa Ana 92 feel easier to manoeuvre. This is particularly useful when making short turns, skiing bumps or negotiating tight terrain.
The lighter tip also works with the rocker profile to make the ski feel less cumbersome in softer snow while maintaining sufficient stability when the speed increases.
On-Piste Performance
Despite its all-mountain focus, the Santa Ana 92 remains highly capable on groomed pistes.
The 92 mm waist, cambered underfoot section and TSM Pulse Core provide a stable platform for carving and controlled medium-radius turns. The ski is quick enough from edge to edge to remain enjoyable on firm pistes, while the metal reinforcement and dampening characteristics help it remain composed when the snow becomes tracked or uneven.
It is therefore particularly well suited to skiers who want strong piste performance without giving up versatility elsewhere on the mountain.
Off-Piste & Variable Snow
Move away from the groomed runs and the Santa Ana 92’s wider platform and rocker become increasingly useful.
The tip provides additional flotation in fresh snow, while the rockered tail helps the ski release from the turn without feeling locked into the snow. The 92 mm waist also gives enough support for skiing through chopped-up powder and afternoon crud.
It isn’t intended to replace a dedicated 100+ mm powder ski, but for mixed resort conditions and occasional powder days, the Santa Ana 92 offers an excellent compromise between float and agility.

The Nordica Santa Ana 92 is an excellent choice for women who want a versatile ski that can comfortably cover most resort conditions.
It is particularly suited to:
- Intermediate to expert skiers.
- Skiers looking for a genuine all-mountain one-ski quiver.
- Riders who spend time both on and off piste.
- Skiers who want strong groomer performance without using a narrow piste ski.
- Those looking for a stable but manoeuvrable ski for variable snow.
- Skiers who occasionally venture into powder but don’t need a dedicated deep-snow ski.
- Riders who value a smooth, damp and predictable feel rather than an ultra-light, twitchy ski.
Summary
The Nordica Santa Ana 92 2026/27 is a highly versatile women’s all-mountain ski that sits in an excellent middle ground between piste precision and off-piste capability.
Its 92 mm waist, TSM Pulse Core, terrain-specific metal reinforcement, All Mountain Rocker Profile and True Tipconstruction create a ski that is stable and composed when pushed on groomed snow, yet manoeuvrable and forgiving when conditions become softer or more challenging.
The result is a particularly capable everyday resort ski: quick enough for carving, stable enough for speed, and wide enough to explore beyond the groomed runs. For the skier who wants one pair of skis to cover piste, bumps, variable snow and occasional powder, the Santa Ana 92 is one of the most versatile options in Nordica’s women’s range.
