Crafted for advanced skiers who like to take on any run on the mountain in varied snow conditions, the Nordica Hot Rod Nitrous ski has a 78-mm. waist and aggressive side-cut for exceptional carving performance with plenty of crud-busting potential. A narrower waist gives the Hot Rod Nitrous a bit easier turn initiation and a tighter turn radius. It's an ideal combo for skiers who like to rip through the tree line long after the powder hounds have packed down the freshies. The Nordica Hot Rod Nitrous ski features the XBS (X Balance System) binding interface that transmits consistent pressure from your boots to the ski edges for improved stability, balance and control. If you're looking for fun that goes fast, especially on hard-pack or groomed runs, the Hot Rod Nitrous takes you there in record time.
