The Nordica Steadfast 85 is a ski that punches well above its weight class that a huge range of skiers can enjoy. It's a blast on groomers, it offers solid grip and power but it isn't a difficult ski to be on, regardless of ability level. Nordica has done an awesome job building a ski that experts will be thrilled with but they haven't forgotten about less experienced skiers, beginners will love these too. For a ski with this much snap, energy, and power it's amazing how easy it is to tap into the power and how easy this ski is to balance on. It's got an incredibly intuitive and predictable feel that skiers of all levels want. If you like to carve on groomers but don't want a difficult ski the Steadfast is one of the best options. Powerful enough to be skied hard but it's never demanding at low speeds or difficult to initiate a turn. The Steadfast prefers to make medium to radius turns but the tails release easily enough if you need to make some shorter, quicker turns and you can get the skis to run long if you like to make big, swooping carves.
Who is this ski for? Really any skier who loves to carve on groomers and wants a ski with awesome grip and energy.
Who isn't this ski for? Skiers who like to go off-piste; the Steadfast belongs on trail.
