Hot Rod Hell Cat Skis w N3.12 Xbi Binding
Consumers generally make two key assumptions about all-mountain skis: If the ski has a wide waist, it's great on powder but it won't turn on hardpack, but if the ski has a narrower waist, you're going to turn in anything except powder--where you'll eventually sink. These assumptions would probably be true if all skis were designed with the same construction and materials. Thankfully that's not the case, and that's why Nordica's prestigious Hot Rod all-mountain collection remains one of the most sought-after models every season. This new Hot Rod Hellcat XBi with Marker X-Balance integrated binding is the widest and potentially the most advanced design among this season's Hot Rod series. It features a lively all-wood core for substantial flex... ... Read More

Hot Rod Jet Fuel Skis w N3.12 XBS Binding
Created specifically for expert skiers who rip challenges on all sides of the mountain, the Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel ski lives up to its name with amazing speed, nimble grace and exceptional stability. Nordica designed it with an integrated Marker N3-12 Titanium binding for all-mountain versatility, but the wider 84-mm. waist doesn't make the ski simple to classify. In fact, in last year's skiing reviews, this skis' performance feedback depended on which ski lengths the testers and editors had in stock, so keep length in mind and match the appropriate sized Hot Rod Jet Fuel to your skiing preferences and you should be fine. In case you're looking for specific info, we included the turn radius data for all three sizes because of the huge dif... ... Read More

Hot Rod Nitrous Skis w N3.11 Ti XBS Binding
Crafted for advanced skiers who like to take on any run on the mountain in varied snow conditions, the Nordica Hot Rod Nitrous ski has a 78-mm. waist and aggressive sidecut for exceptional carving performance with plenty of crud-busting potential. It's a toned-down cousin to the expert-oriented Hot Rod Jet Fuel, but the narrower waist gives the Hot Rod Nitrous a bit easier turn initiation and a tighter turn radius. It's an ideal combo for skiers who like to rip through the tree line long after the powder hounds have packed down the freshies. Like the Hot Rod Jet Fuel, the Nordica Hot Rod Nitrous ski features a XBS (X Balance System) binding interface that transmits consistent pressure from your boots to the ski edges for improved stability,... ...

Women's Olympia Drive XBS Skis w3.10 XB Binding
In concept the Women's Olympia Victory XBS is everything an all-mountain expert should expect from a versatile ski, but the wood core gives the Victory XBS significantly more pop, a trait that will throw more than a few intermediate and advanced skiers in rolling terrain. That's why Nordica designed this forgiving and intermediate-friendly Olympia Drive XBS ski. While the sidecut proportions and lengths are identical to the Olympia Victory, the Olympia Drive XBS has a reliable composite-mono wood core that dampens vibrations and gives new riders a predictable ride--even in the undulating crud. It's still just as versatile as the other all-mountain Olympia skis, but advanced and intermediate riders will find more control in the broken snow b... ... Read More

Women's Olympia Victory XBS Skis w N3.11 Ti Binding
While plenty of women enjoyed the all-mountain versatility of the award-winning Nordica Olympia Conquer ski last season, more than a few advanced riders wanted to tweak the ride for hardpack and groomers--especially in the spring when the powder runs are less frequent. Nordica's Olympia Victory Ski offers the same all-mountain versatility found on the successful Conquer, but it has a narrower waist and profile that's fine-tuned for packed snow and spring corn. The Nordica Olympia Victory ski features a XBS (X Balance System) binding interface that transmits consistent pressure from your boots to the ski edges for improved stability, balance and control. Extra heel pressure from the back of the ski is transferred through the integrated Marke... ... Read More
