The Nordica Steadfast 80 DC is an all-mountain frontside ski built for skiers who spend most of their time on groomed slopes but appreciate a ski that can handle varied terrain. With an 80 mm waist it strikes a balance between quick edge-to-edge response and enough surface area for stability, making it a solid choice for sport-oriented riders.
Featuring a 131-80-110 mm profile at 174 cm, the Steadfast 80 DC blends predictable turn initiation with reliable edge hold. Its Marker TP2 Light 11 FDT bindings come mounted in black and anthracite, offering a lightweight yet sturdy connection that’s easy to step into and adjust on the mountain. The understated black and silver finish keeps your setup looking crisp without drawing too much attention.
