Product Info
You're not convinced by the waterski-on-the-mountain movement and with good reason. When your adventure takes you into the backcountry, where conditions aren't regulated by resort employees, the Nordica Istas Skis give you the mobility and width to hold a strong edge in the sketchiest conditions. Plus, with a Paulownia wood core and subtle rocker in the tip/tail, these skis are super light and nimble making them great for touring and in-bounds cruising alike. If there's no powder, leave the fat sticks at home and nab yourself a pair of the trusty NRGY-inspired Nordica Istas Skis instead.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All Mountain camRock – All Mountain camRock technology pulls the traditional contact point of the tip back about 25% and the tail 5% creating slight tip rocker to aid the camber under foot. The result -- increased flotation, velocity and maneuverability in soft snow as well as significantly increased ease of turn initiation in any condition.
Shape
NRGy Tip – A new modern shape with a little relief on either side that makes the ski super playful and easy to steer in soft snow.
NRGy Tail – Tapered tail with a little rocker to make the skis really maneuverable off piste yet strong and powerful on hard pack.
Core
Energy CA P-Core – A lightweight full sidewall construction utilizing two Paulownia wood stringers and a layer of Carbon providing an extremely agile and comfortable ride throughout the mountain.
Sidewalls
Sandwich Construction
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
