How fast you advance in skiing skill progression depends on your own personal effort, but some confidence-inspiring mid-range skis can reduce the learning curve and take you places you want to be sooner than the rest. That's certainly the case with Nordica's all-mountain Women's Drive with integrated N Sport XBI CT binding. This female-specific ski is an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced skiers who want to blast down the groomers and perfect their form in the crud and moguls. In ski dimensions, the Women's Drive is identical to the award-winning Nordica Men's Hot Rod Igniter, but designed with slight lighter components and offers a more forward binding placement for women. The Nordica Women's Drive ski features a XBI (X Balance Integrated) binding interface that transmits consistent pressure in a smooth ski flex from your boots to the ski edges for improved stability, balance and control. Extra heel pressure from the back of the ski is transferred through the XBI system interface to the area in front of the binding, redistributing your skiing power unlike anything else available on the market, and this can help correct balance errors where you're either too far forward or too far back over the ski. The result of XBI is something Nordica calls "glued to the snow" but we like to think of it as excellent edge hold. In fact, with the flex of the ski it's possible to establish tip-to-tail edge hold on smooth snow surfaces, so you always turn where and when you're ready. This version of the Drive includes Nordica's integrated N Sport X CT binding. It's an all-mountain/sport performance binding with Nordica's performance compact heel feature. One important note: In previous skiing magazine reviews, the feedback on this ski's performance varied depending on which ski lengths the testers and editors tested, so keep length in mind and match the appropriate sized Nordica Drive to your skiing preferences. In case you need specific data, we included the turn radius data for all sizes because of the significant differences in characteristics.
