The read

A women's all-mountain ski with a 102mm waist, the Santa Ana 102 sits wider than most all-mountain skis in the catalog and leans toward soft snow and versatile terrain. Terrain-specific titanal and an elastomer layer add damping and stability, while the unlocked tail shape and rocker-camber-rocker profile support pivot and float. Its weight and metal construction reward a skier who drives it with purpose across varied conditions.

Specs & what they mean

What the Santa Ana 102's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 17.5-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Titanal is placed in specific zones of the ski — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,960 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 102 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
