2026 Nordica Santa Ana 87 Women's Skis with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings
The 2026 Nordica Santa Ana 87 with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings brings refined carving power and all-mountain adaptability into one quick, confidence-boosting package. With an 87 mm waist, it’s the second narrowest ski in the Santa Ana lineup and thrives on firm snow, but still offers the intuitive handling and off-trail curiosity that makes the whole series a standout. We paired the Santa Ana 87 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 precise, light on its feet, and packed with tech—but never feels harsh or overly demanding. For skiers who live on the groomers but like to dip into the trees or bumps, this ski delivers a beautifully composed ride with just the right amount of versatility.
Who it's for:
Designed for advanced and strong intermediate women who prioritize edge grip and stability on-trail, yet still want the agility and profile to handle light off-trail adventures.
Highlights:
The Santa Ana 87 is built with a lightweight wood core and Nordica’s Pulse Core elastomer insert, all reinforced with a single sheet of Terrain-Specific Titanal. This keeps the ski smooth and composed, minimizing vibration without compromising energy or response. Camber underfoot drives precise carving, while rocker in the tip and tail aids in maneuverability and makes transitions feel effortless. It’s a high-performance ski that’s approachable and fun from the first chair to the last lap. 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:
While it’s more versatile than a pure frontside carver, the Santa Ana 87 still favors groomed and moderate terrain. Skiers looking for deep-snow capability or a looser, surfier feel should consider wider options in the lineup. Its directional shape and stiffer flex also reward good technique over a more laid-back approach.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Most skiers should go with their usual length, but if you prefer quicker turn initiation or ski tighter terrain regularly, sizing down slightly can enhance agility without much sacrifice.
