Question: Asking for a friend - what happened to the Nordica La Niña?

[Verve]

Hi divas!

My friend is an awesome skier and completely in love with her Nordica La Ninas to the point where she would get a back up pair if she could find one in good condition. Looks like these were done in the 16/17 season. Anyone know if they got folded into the Nordica Santa Ana 110 Free? On paper, looks like a very different ski :(

If these truly are gone … what do we think a good contemporary equivalent might be?

Thanks for the collective knowledge, as always! I see some divas own these too!

It pretty much did. The La Nina was a fun ski and IMHO still stands the test of time. I hope your "friend" can find a pair. Don't dismiss a Patron or the Hell N' Back version of the same ski, the name escapes me at the moment, both of these come from the same mold and are pretty darn close in construction. I might know where there is the HnB one, what size is she looking for?

Haha it really is a friend ;) she is much shorter and lighter and skis the 169. Would love a lead!

Dang, the ones I know are 177's. Sorry.
