The Nordica Drive comes from the company’s Timeless All-Mountain collection, falling on the narrow, more price-point oriented side of the spectrum. At 78 millimeters underfoot, it leans toward groomer skiing, though a touch of rocker will provide some off-trail usability in addition to easier turn initiation and increased maneuverability. It’s built with a full-wood core and partial sidewalls to deliver maximum performance while still being approachable and easy turning. The Drive is sold as a system ski.
