2026 Nordica Santa Ana 102 Women's Skis with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings
The 2026 Nordica Santa Ana 102 with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings is built to thrive in soft snow and variable terrain, making it the go-to choice for women who chase powder days and off-trail adventure. As the widest ski in the Santa Ana lineup, it combines confident float, directional power, and intuitive handling into a platform that’s equally at home weaving through glades or charging open faces. We paired the Santa Ana 102 Women's with the Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW because of the Attack’s light weight and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. Thanks to a 15% reduction in weight, the Attack LYT 11 is the perfect binding option for lighter weight freeriders, and keeps this setup on the lighter side without sacrificing power or performance.
Why we like it:
It’s the rare powder-oriented ski that still feels stable and composed in firmer conditions. The Santa Ana 102 is floaty without being soft, giving expert skiers a dependable yet playful tool for a wide range of mountain conditions.
Who it's for:
This ski is a standout for advanced and expert women skiers—especially those out West—who want a capable, confident ski for soft snow and off-piste terrain. For East Coast skiers, it’s an ideal powder-day or backcountry option.
Highlights:
At its core, the Santa Ana 102 uses a lightweight wood core enhanced with Nordica’s Pulse Core elastomer insert and a single sheet of Terrain-Specific Titanal tuned for wider skis. This delivers top-tier dampness and directional stability while keeping weight down. Tip and tail rocker add agility and float in deeper snow, while camber underfoot provides the precision needed for variable or firmer conditions. Together, the construction and shape create a ski that’s as confident at speed as it is intuitive in trees and powder. Fine-tuned for 2026, the Attack LYT 11 is designed to bring the ideal level of safety and performance to skiers looking for a light weight binding for a wide-bodied all-mountain or freeride ski. The new FR LYT Toe is 15% lighter, and offers a sliding AFD for precise and reliable release as well as plenty of elastic travel. Tyrolia’s SX FR Heel is easy to step into, offering an intuitive and frustration-free experience whether you’re stepping into your skis to start your day, or cleaning up from a pow day yardsale.
Things to consider:
With its 102 mm waist and freeride orientation, the Santa Ana 102 is best used in softer snow. While capable on groomers, it’s not built for day-in, day-out frontside carving. It also leans directional and powerful—less ideal for playful or freestyle-focused skiers who want a twin tip or looser feel.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Stick with your usual length for maximum float and confidence, or size down slightly for quicker handling and tighter terrain.
