Nordica Unleashed 98 CA Ski - 2026 Oilslick Blue, 174cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I love how balanced these feel. They’re soft enough to butter and pivot in tight terrain, but with just enough backbone and metal underfoot to stay composed on firm snow. It’s my go-to ski when I’m not sure what the day holds—trees, bumps, or a surprise pow stash.""Who It’s ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Skiers:The Unleashed 98 CA is made for skiers who want a one-ski quiver that can handle anything. It’s ideal for riders who like to mix freeride creativity with dependable edge hold, whether they’re exploring trees, playing in bumps, or carving morning groomers. What It’s ForVersatile All-Mountain Freeride:With a 98mm waist and Powder Rocker profile, this ski is built for variety. It floats in fresh snow, grips on harder terrain, and pivots easily in tight spots. The partial twin tip adds freestyle freedom, making it just as fun for slashes and switch skiing as for charging steeps. Why We Like ItBalanced, Playful, and Capable Everywhere:We like how the Unleashed 98 CA combines a lightweight feel with just enough muscle underfoot. The Lite Performance wood core and carbon keep it quick and lively, while the terrain-specific Titanal layer adds stability and confidence when conditions get rough. It’s a ski that adapts as fast as the mountain changes—making it an easy daily driver."
