Santa Ana 102 Ski - 2025 - Women's

The TSM Pulse Core is a unique construction that combines wood and elastomer materials. The wood provides strength and stability, while the elastomer adds cushioning and responsiveness. This combination enhances your skiing performance by making the ski more responsive to your movements, allowing for better control and comfort on the slopes.

The terrain-specific metal laminate is designed to enhance performance in specific types of terrain, such as powder or hardpack snow. This layer of metal adds stability and dampens vibrations, which helps you maintain control and comfort while skiing, especially in challenging conditions.

Partial twin tips refer to a ski design where both ends are shaped similarly, allowing for skiing in both directions. This design increases the ski's playfulness and forgiveness, making it easier for you to maneuver and perform tricks, whether you're skiing forward or backward.

The rocker/camber/rocker profile describes the ski's shape. The tips and tails are raised (rocker) for better floatation in powder and easier turning, while the arched middle section (camber) provides excellent edge grip on hard snow. This combination allows for versatile performance across various snow conditions, making it suitable for different skiing styles.

A mid-fat 102mm waist indicates that the ski is wider than traditional skis but not as wide as those designed specifically for powder. This width strikes a balance between floatation in soft snow and stability on hardpack, making the ski versatile for various skiing conditions, whether you're cruising on groomed trails or exploring off-piste.

The combination of the TSM Pulse Core, terrain-specific metal laminate, partial twin tips, rocker/camber/rocker profile, and mid-fat waist creates a ski that is responsive, stable, and versatile. Together, these features allow you to tackle different terrains with confidence, improve your control and comfort, and enhance your overall skiing experience, making it easier to enjoy your time on the slopes.
