Testers crowned the tried-and-true Santa Ana 100 queen of crud, agreeing that when the going gets tough, this is the ski you want underfoot. With a burly Titanal-reinforced balsa core and just enough tip and tail rocker, the Santa Ana torpedoes through chunder without hesitation. But like any homing missile, it can be hard to change course once launched—so be clear on your mission before you engage the Santa Ana 100.
STRENGTHS: Crud, Stability at Speed
WEAKNESS: Forgiveness
