Nordica Santa Ana 98♦ Dimensions = 131-98-118
♦ Sidecut radius = 15.6 meters (165 cm)
Santa Ana 98 is better than ever, with an updated shape and construction. It is daunting to improve one of the best performing and best selling skis every offered, but Nordica is up to the task. This Santa Ana 98 raises the bar even higher.
• Terrain Specific rethinks how metal is placed in women's skis. Overall, the amount of metal used is reduced, lowering weight for an easier, lighter feel on the snow. The shape of the metal component is sculpted, reducing metal where it is not needed to further reduce weight. This ski feel much lighter and more playful on the snow than the previous version, but still incredibly stable, smooth and powerful.
• True Tip Technology consists of a longer wood core, extending further into the rocker profile at both ends of the ski. This allows the heavier urethane extenders inside the tip and tail to be made shorter, reducing swing weight substantially. True Tip gives the ski a lighter, more playful feel, while maintaining the Enforcer's incredibly smooth, powerful ,and stable feel that skiers have loved so much.
• Full length Carbon reinforcement running tip to tail is 35% lighter than the fiberglass it replaces. Replacing the bottom sheet of metal, carbon adds stability, and reduces weight, making the ski lighter and easier to move around on the snow. Lighter weight, with an increase in performance and versatility.
• All new shapes have closer sizing gaps, making it easier to choose exactly the size that you want. Also, tip and tail widths get wider as the skis get longer, so each size has a specific geometry all its own.
This is now a 100% ladies' specific with a totally different shape and construction than any men's model. Nordica has been leading the pack in terms of women's ski design for a very long time, and this ski takes that thinking to a whole new level. Slightly narrower, different core, different laminate components; overall this ski is significantly different in many, many ways compared to the men's model.
There are a lot of new design elements built into this new Santa Ana 98, but what has not changed is everything that the Santa Ana is so famous for. Full wood core of lightweight Balsa, with Titanal reinforcement, long slow rise rocker profile, and ABS sidewalls. What sets the Santa Ana apart from other ladies' skis is the great care Nordica engineers have taken to build a ski that takes into account what good skiers everywhere really want; versatility, performance, and ease of use. This new Santa Ana is even easier to ski on than the original, and yet capable of even more performance.
The amazing new Santa Ana 98 from Nordica redefines what an all mountain ski can be. It has plenty of width to float well in deeper snow, but at the same time, has a very short sidecut arc that allows it to be very nimble and quick from edge to edge on groomers. Its long, low rise rocker profile at tip and tail provides excellent flotation in powder, while it metal laminate and carbon construction with ABS sidewalls make it very powerful in crud, and super stable when going fast.
Never before has any ski maker combined all of these characteristics into a single ski model as successfully as Nordica has here. Especially if you are an off trail oriented skier, and maybe want to only own one pair of skis, SAnta Ana 98 should be at the top of your list. Pow, bumps, crud, hardpack, morning groomers; there are no bad days when you own the Nordica Santa Ana 98.

It's good financial history
Format: Hardcover
especially how the EURO members' values slow down negotiations. I hardly came upon the fluidness in their story line post 2008 in this book, like I do the USAs through media. The FED is king in the USA in both knowledge and strategy (Powell Doctrine). A nice read but it could be shorter; my opinion of course!

Dazzling, Exhaustive, Exhausting.
Format: Kindle
Mr. Tooze has delivered a tour de force. He has marshaled what surely must be the most comprehensive and informed account of the 2008 crash and its aftermath. Tooze examines in detail and at length, the financial, economic and political forces at work in this gigantic mosaic of global crisis. And he clearly understands the process, providing shrewd insights and informed commentary. It's a heavy lift--a bit like trying to drink out a a fire hydrant; the sheer volume of information is daunting. But the prose is clear and accessible.
Tooze clearly identifies with the the leaders and institutions that mobilized themselves in new and highly unorthodox programs to contain the crisis. That's not popular among critics on both the far left and the hard right. But he illustrates the vapidity of their carping--which largely constitutes a substitute eitherfor understanding the issues or crafting workable solutions.
I would argue that he overlooks the opportunity Obama had in January 200i9 to bend both parties to his will in crafting a real Economic Stimulus plan that the nation could have embraced. Instead he passed the initiative to the House leadership who simply dredged up failed old chestnuts which they newly christened as stimulus programs. Obama bought in and launched its initiative as a partisan weapon--which has only served to widen the current divide. An activist approach that would have drawn from both Republican and Democratic resources--and which was actually directed as a stimulus--might have created a moderate center from which to conduct his business. We'll never know. Obama didn't ever buy into working with others--even n his own party. It was generally his way of the highway. But it's tempting to look back and consider the possibilities.
His concluding message, asks what resources will the current administration--which eschews both institutions and expertise--be able to mobilize in the all too likely event some new global crisis hits.
For now, read and enjoy the (long) but very well informed ride.

Excellent history of 2008 financial crisis
Format: Kindle
As a non-economist, I wanted to learn about the causes and consequences of the 2008 financial crisis. Overall, Tooze has created what will likely become the definitive history of the crisis. He tells an incredibly detailed story of the rise of power among international banks, and how these banks created securities around mortgages that concealed their riskiness. The blow by blow story often had me in high suspense, testifying to the power of how Tooze put together the background events - and fininacial instruments of mass destruction - that nearly gave us WW Depression 2.0. Personally, I come away with great respect for Paulson, Berneke, Geitner, to name the key actors in this drama - for saving the world economy from ruins. I also come away with an unsolved mystery: why did America not fill its jails with crooked bankers? Yes, I understand from Tooze that the US Fed and Treasury were bankers, and disliked immensely turning in their own. But, zero bankers in jail, after causing what Tooze argues was the greatest bank crisis, ever, including Great Depression 1.0.? It makes no political sense that banks and their leaders nearly destroyed the world economy, but zero went jail, when millions across the world lost homes to foreclosure, suffered severe unemployment, had Democratic election results ignored by financial authorities (mainly in Europe). I am personally convinced this lack of fairness and justice has given us not only Trump but a broad range of autocratic political parties. They claim to protect everyday people, but of course do not. In sum, this rather masterpiece of historical financial analysis is a surefooted guide across the tricky lengthy and politically dangerous terrain of the 2008 financial crisis. Five stars.

2008 Neoliberalism crashes the state rushes back-- just in time
Format: Kindle
“Whereas since the 1970s the incessant mantra of the spokespeople of the financial industry had been free markets and light touch regulation, what they were now demanding was the mobilization of all of the resources of the state to save society’s financial infrastructure from a threat of systemic implosion, a threat they likened to a military emergency.” (Loc. 3172-3174)
Adam Tooze takes the well know Financial Crisis of 2007-08 through its full history of international ramifications and brings it up to the present with the question of whether the large organizations, structures and processes on the one hand; decision, debate, argument and action on the other that managed to fall into place in that crisis period in this and many other countries will develop if needed again. “The political in “political economy” demands to be taken seriously.” (Loc. 11694). That he does.
Tooze is an Economic Historian and Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World is a wonderfully rich enquiry into causes and effects of the Financial Crisis and how the failing of poorly managed greed motivated practices of a few financial institutions, and their subprime mortgagees, tumbled economies in the developed and developing world, causing events that matched the Great Depression’s dislocation and could have matched its duration, springing from world wide money markets “interlocking matrix” of corporate balance sheets— bank to bank.”
A warning he is not kind to existing political beings, the Republican Party in particular “…to judge by the record of the last ten years, it is incapable of legislating or cooperating effectively in government.” (Loc.11704)
His criticism is, in fairness, based on technical management grounds, and he does find fault as well with the inner core of the Obama advisors and their primary concerns for the financial sectors well being, rather than nationwide happenings where homes and incomes disappeared.
This reviewer’s favorite (not mentioned by Tooze) is the early 2009 comment of Larry Sumners when Christina D. Romer, the chairwoman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers and leading authority on the Great Depression saw a need for $1.8 trillion stimulus package, “What have you been smoking?”
Sumners, Geithner, and Orszag, who favored transferring $787 billion to the banks to offset possible bank failures and such -- became policy. Tooze mentions that by 2012 Sumners was concerned by the slowness of the U.S. economy’s recovery taking, as it did, 8 years to reach 2008 levels of employment.*
Can an Economic History be an exciting read? Tooze gives us over 700 pages of just that, but much will be familiar as reported news and may be skimmed, and some of the Fed’s expanded international roles very dense in content. His strength is the knowledge of what could have happened, had solutions not been found, and how agreements were reached out of public sight.
“… the world economy is not run by medium-sized … entrepreneurs but by a few thousand massive corporations, with interlocking shareholdings controlled by a tiny group of asset managers. (Loc.418-419).
Add wily politicians and hard driven bankers EU Ukraine and China you have an adventure.
Corporate control is not new -- rich descriptions of its inner connections are.
Adam Tooze does this well a reference work for years to come.
5 stars
