Ok, to be honest, I’m a little jealous of how good junior skiers have it these days compared to when I was a kid. Back then, the ski didn’t matter. All junior skis were built pretty much the same way, so whatever you were handed was supposed to just get the job done. Now, we’re seeing a lot more shape and modern design elements in junior skis on the market today, and kids can really reach their full potential with skis that make the sport both fun and easy. The Nordica Santa Ana 80 S brings the legendary performance from the rest of the Santa Ana collection but packs it into a smaller, more forgiving profile, appropriate for junior skiers. Things like rocker and sidewall construction never used to be featured in the build of a junior ski, but now they are, making kids’ lives easier across all terrain types and snow conditions. One of the coolest things in the world is to watch your kid ripping up the whole mountain. You can feel reassured that your kids feel confident out on the hill and that the skis they’re on will allow them to go on new adventures each day on the hill. A full wood core and a partial sidewall give the ski a smooth, responsive and predictable flex as well as solid stability and edge hold. Tip and tail rocker allow for some awesome maneuverability in tighter, more technical terrain and makes turning in general very smooth and effortless. Kids will love the versatility of the Nordica Santa Ana 80 S
