I have a chance at a pair of Santa Ana 83's, this coming year's! Any intell or info would be appreciated. Last fall I demo'd the Brahma 82's and loved them. So are these similar, different??
Just not a Z12Just sent an email transfer to the rep.
Now for bindings. I have access here at home to Look, Salomon and Atomic. Any favs in that list for a pair of 88's?
So, the Santa Ana 88.Well, no choice on the bindings, came mounted with a demo set. So all ready to go!!

What model year does she have?Santa Ana 93 is my wife's DD. She loves those skis so much that I am worried when it is time to replace them the new versions will be significantly changed and she won't like them. I'm sure the 88 is just as stellar. Enjoy those new sticks!
I, and others have been known to purchase a second pair of a favourite ski before the original is worn out for the single purpose of hedging against the possibility that a newerr updated version won't be as likeable.Santa Ana 93 is my wife's DD.

The trick is making sure that the model year is adjacent to the model year construction.I, and others have been known to purchase a second pair of a favourite ski before the original is worn out for the single purpose of hedging against the possibility that a newerr updated version won't be as likeable.
The main difference between that model year and the current one is length.I think they are 18/19 model years. They are to her what a security blanket is to a young child. She just clicked with these skis like no other ski in her 20+ years of skiing. I really don't know why they work so well for her, but they are perfect for her.
