Nordica’s Belle DC 78 loves to make turns all over the mountain.
Especially playful and fun, this all-new women’s ski is perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers who spend their days on-piste.
For a smooth yet powerful ride that amplifies confidence, Nordica’s new Double Core technology embeds a shock-absorbing Pulse core between two wood cores.
The ski’s wider waist enhances versatility while a shorter binding plate boosts your ability to flex the ski and initiate turns. And by lowering the position of the rear plate, Nordica’s Natural Stance technology provides a more natural, centered position that maximizes control.
Embrace every trail with Nordica’s Belle DC 78.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
