I just bought a pair of 161cm Santa Ana 93s while I was skiing in Solitude, Utah a few weeks ago to replace a pair of brand new Blizzard BP88s (didn't like them). I loved the Santa Anas from the first run on! Skied them in knee deep powder, hard pack, soft crud, scraped (icy), and groomed (blue/black runs). Performed really well for me (advanced intermediate that will ski blue and black runs, off piste, pretty much anything that is NOT a mogul). I'm 5'5" and 125 lbs (depending on my daily cookie consumption during my ski trip).
During the same trip, a friend bought the same ski in last year's model and loved it for the same reasons. According to the ski shop employee (shout out to Zack at the LiftHouse Salt Lake City), only difference between last year and this year is the top sheet.
The 2 sheets of metal gave me plenty of stiffness without any chatter at high speeds. The early tip rise kept me from getting in trouble in crud and powder. I was able to flex them with little effort and to get them up on edge quickly for perfect control ripping high speed down groomed corduroy and packed, icy conditions (carved much better than I had expected). Powder flotation was awesome for a 93 underfoot. Had a blast and felt like they were very responsive and playful. Had no trouble getting them to turn quickly (almost effortlessly) and could bounce through the crud on them really well. Love the shorter turn radius. Best pair of skis I've ever tried. At the end of the day, I realized that the skiing was what wore me out, not the skis. Put a pair of Atomic Warden bindings on them and am really happy. I would say that they are definitely an all mountain ski and I hope to ski them for several years.
I had a pair of brand new, never been skied before, 166 Blizzard BP 88s and didn't feel the love of an all mountain ski across multiple conditions. BP 88s didn't have the flotation I assumed they would have, but performed well on hard pack, icy, and groomed conditions very well (they like speed). I didn't find them as responsive to my skiing style as expected (advanced intermediate that likes to also ski blacks unless they're moguls). Skis seemed to require more effort on my part than should have. Ski shop employee who sold the Santa Anas to me said he had heard the same thing from several other women. He wondered if the performance of the BP88s as an all mountain ski had been oversold and over-hyped.
Hope this helps and enjoy your new skis. Now, if I could only find some gals to join me in another ski trip in March to enjoy my new skis yet again this season.
