Description: The Nordica Hot Rod series is designed for All Mountain versatility. When skiing a variety of terrain you are bound to encounter variable snow conditions so Nordica created its All Mountain Sidecut to provide a round turn radius for optimal performance is variable conditions. The integration of the XBI TC 412 bindings make the skis flex pattern more natural and allows the skier the ability to push their boundaries and impress themselves with the improvement in technique.
 

Skimag Review: The Jet Fuel makes a lot of skis in the category feel like river barges. That’s how light, lively and quick it is. The layup is classic: wood core, vertical sidewalls, two sheets of metal. But this year Nordica lightens it up by using a less-dense wood core and replacing a section down the middle with foam. Nordica says it’s 20 percent lighter, and that weight savings is immediately apparent. Testers loved it in bumps and short-radius turns, especially, but they warned that it gets knocked around some in crud. “Slingshot turn finishes and nimble quickness; a high-energy ski,” said Gleason.
