Hey all! I’m trying to decide between the new Nordica Santa Ana 93 or Blizzard Sheeva 9.
I learned to ski as a young kid and skied pretty consistently/confidently until high school when I switched to snowboarding. Now I’m 35 and want to get back into skiing for fun, a new challenge, and I want to teach my daughters to ski (we’ll start our 3 year old this year).
I’ll obviously have a learning curve but I’m hoping within a couple seasons I can be enjoying blues, blacks and maybe an occasional double black if conditions are great - I’m hoping my childhood muscle memory and my snowboarding experience will help me. I typically spend my time split between groomers, big open bowls/backside, and trees. I’m in the PNW.
Santa Ana and Sheeva 9 have been recommended to me for their versatility. I need help deciding between them. Hoping for a ski that helps me learn and can grow with me. Thanks!
