For the number of skis this review will sell, hopefully, Norida gives you both a free t-shirt - obviously, I now need this ski. Excellent review as always.

Super excited you guys got around to reviewing this. I've been skiing the regular 104 for a while now. One of my favorite skis ever for my mountains out West. I have high hopes that this could offer a similar feeling if I pair it with an ATK 12 or 14.

Loving the long format review! More of these please

The fix camera shots where awesome, great job again to the whole team!!happy hollidays to you all.

I have to say... this is probably Bob's best skiing video..... he gets some awesome edge on those skis... thumbs up!

Hi, great review I am from Bulgaria, which is part of Europe. I mainly freeride in Bansko, sometimes in other parts of Europe. I rarely ski on piste. Here, the slopes are steep and it is also steep in the forest. Now I ride Line Sick Days 104 with Duke PT 16, and Dalbello Lupo Pro HD 130 With these skis I also do touring, as the routes are not easy, I climb peaks and descend them on steep slopes and forests. Sometimes there is a lot of powder and sometimes a hard layer on top. I ski 7-8 hours a day when the days are good. I'm 45 years old, I'm 6,15"', 209lb , and I'm well built. Until 3 years ago, I rode only on tracks with Head Rebels I Race and Head Raptor 140 shoes. I started to think about lighter and more maneuverable skis and looking at your wonderful reviews, I liked the Nordica Enforcer, but I hesitated between Free and Unlimited 186cm. I prefer unlimit for now because I haven't tried light skis with a touring profile yet, but I don't know how they will perform on steep slopes and between trees.What would you recommend for me?

Great review! I was fortunate enough to find the 94 unlimited a couple of weeks back (they literally just showed up when I was shopping for something new) and knew that they were the ski for me. Had a good trial with them this past weekend and really loved the ski overall and had a lot of fun with them.

Loving these slow-mo toe taps almost as much as the ski... nice form y'all

So pumped to see this review, great video! What do you guys think of this as an alternative to the normal 104 for someone looking for a more playful and less intense ski and might not actually use it to tour? I'd also been looking at the ripstick 106s so some quick thoughts about how they compare would be awesome-- I need to get out and demo them both but finding the time is hard haha. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Hey Guys! I've been skiing on Bonafide's for two seasons. At 187cm they are every bit the beasts you know them to be. A buddy of mine took me into Chin Clip Glades/side country last season. I loved it but the equipment was a drag. I'm keeping them along with my Dalbello Lupo SP's. I want to do more back/side country touring. It's between these and the Armada 104 Locator, Scarpa Quatro 4 XT and Solomon Shift. Thoughts?

Hey guy's, awesome review! I started rider 104 frees recently after most of a season on ripstick 96. They're super burly, great in crud, but admittedly the transition in weight was a bit staggering. While they swing around ok, i find myself working pretty hard to get them sidewise in bumps and trees or when i need to kill speed, which, on these things is pretty necessary at times. I just grabbed a pair of unlimiteds that were on season clearance (maybe by mistake) and I'm wondering if this will be a happy medium. The caveat is that they're 191s. I ride the 186 on the frees and it already feels like a lot of ski. Im 6'2" 200lbs so its ultimately a good size, i just need to train i. The off season and grow into them. Im worried however that those 191s will be unwieldy length wise. Something surprising about your review is that Bob almost always needs to size up, but it sounds like he was fully comfortable with the 186. I'm curious to know if Bob had a chance to ride a 191, or if the 186 felt good enough on its own. Id also like to know how you would stack the Unlimited against a Ripstick 106. Planning to slap a marker duke on it either way. Lastly, Jeff usually moves his mount forward to test the freestyle capabilities, how did this feel for light park applications? No rails, just jumps and a box now and then. Recommended mount points for mostly all mountain with occasional park? Thanks guys 🙏

Great review Jeff & Bob. I have been skiing on Enforcer 100s for 6 years. I am looking for similar performance in a less fatiguing ski. The 100s are awesome but only seem to shine for me when I really let them rip and they beat me up in the crud. The Enforcer 104 Unlimited and the Ripstick 106 Black are the 2 skis I am considering. Advanced / Expert but now in my 50s . Mostly ski out west. I prefer steep open bowl type terrain but move all over the mountain. I like a ski that will carve well also. I did demo the 96 black and loved them but I am very intrigued by the 104 unlimited. Which do you think would be the better choice ? Love your reviews. Thanks.

Thank you for the great review! I am looking for a ski that I can pair a shift binding with to combine resort skiing with touring. I am a pretty agressive skier; 6ft 160lbs with a racing background in my youth. I previously owned a mythic with dynafit binding but have been frustrated a number of times with the skis stability and edge grip on ice + binding released a couple of times on me mid gs turn. I am therefore willing to sacrifice weight to an extent to ensure I have more fun on the decent. In your opinion do you believe the 104 unlimited will be “enough ski” for my application? Thanks a lot!

Great review guys. I'm looking at wider skis that are different enough from my ARV 96s to add to the quiver. I'm an upper intermediate and looking for a stronger carver, more stable in the steeps, and better in soft snow. How does this enforcer 104 compare to the Rustler 10 and Declivity 102?

I know this is a bit unrelated, but I always appreciate your insight. I just skied some 2022 DPS Pagoda 100 RPs at a demo day and fell in love. Problem is they are currently a bit out of my price range. What pair of skis would you say is most comparable to the Pagoda 100s??

Hi guys, Love all your videos and great info. I bought a pair of enforcer 104 free unlimiteds in December and have skied them probably 15 days so far. Today I cracked the sidewall directly under the boot. Really disappointed as I have thoroughly enjoyed the ski. Have you all dealt with any similar issues from these skis yet? Just wondering, thanks as always!!!

Great depth in this review, thanks guys. I’m curious to hear how this Enforcer 104 compares to the Hustle 10.

Can't wait for the review of 94 unlimited. I currently use 93 with Shift for touring but these are a lot lighter.

Just pulled the trigger on the UNLIMITED 179cm cant wait to shred on them !! super stoked based on what you guys have been commenting on reviews it almost reminds me of my favorite ski Nordica ever made back in 2014 NORDICA HELL AND BACK - super light super firm on the carves if needed to be on groomers but had the awesome shape perfect balance of rocker and camber so float was epic as well . I m lightweight 160lbs 5"6 - mounting on marker griffon 13- was thinking going with a 3cm forward mount - sound like a decent mount position for a tyoe 3 skier- for a daily driver?

Thanks for the review! I wonder how the Enforcer Unlimited skis compare with the Blaze series skis from Volkl for downhill skiing, no touring at all.

Hi. Thanks for a great review! I will definitely get a pair of these, but struggling to make up my mind as to what bindings to put on them. I have a pair of Enforcer 88s with Jester 16 which I love for groomers and a pair of M Tour 99s with ATK 15 evo for touring. I am looking for something in between that would work well on those 50/50 resort days, but at the same time would not be too heavy to take touring on days where I want to maximise downhill performance (and accept that I won’t be setting any world records on the climb). Would you still consider putting the Duke Pts on these or rather sacrifice some downhill performance for weight with a Kingpin or Shift? I am 6ft 2, 220 lbs and ski the 186s both for the Enforcers and the M Tour.

Decided to pull the trigger on these in the 172 length. Planning on pairing them with the ATK raider 12 with the freeride spacer for the heel and toe shims to reduce the delta/ramp angle. Can't wait to try them out! Do you think they would be a good combo?

Thanks for the review! how would this ski compare to the Volkl Blaze 106?

What do you guys recommend for length for an aggressive skier, 6 foot 180? I currently ski on 189’s (dps wailer alchemist 112’s) but was thinking I’d get the 186 for these to give a little more mobility on bumps but I don’t want to sacrifice stability

Any thoughts/experience on a tele binding? Love my current Enforcer 93's with Axls.

Another awesome review. So many options. I bought the '23 QST 106 but had to compromise to get the 189 which is quite a bit longer than I'm used to so am now looking at fun options between 180-186... A killer head-to-head would be the 104 Free vs the QST 106, and these Unlimited vs the Faction Agent 3. But how do these stand up against the Factions?

Hello, Thanks for sharing these valuable info to the public every year. My go to channel for new skis. My quest for front side ski is complete. My daily driver is Brahma 82 on 173cm. Might get another pair with 180cm length. (175lb, 170cm height) carvs great, forgiving during transition even when my front back weight bias is wrong. Rode Head Kore 93 initially I liked it but started compare with Brahma 88. Both are great skis, Brahma was too stiff, great to carv but less unforgiving when carving. I did caught edges time to time. When Brahma 82 came out, I tried and I fell in love. Easier to ride compare to Kore 89 and Brahma 88. I can't ride Kore 93 anymore. Too damp rough on uneven terrains. I get exhausted. Couple videos that I watched from your channel mentions about Brahma has similar characteristics or feel compare to Enforcer. is that true? I am looking for powder day skis. Do you have recommendation? I am looking for powder ski that I can learn, playful, maybe there might be metal in the ski idk. What power ski has similar feel to Brahma 82? Thank you.

Ahhh making me want a pair with jesters on them too!

I demoed the bent Chrysler 100s last year and loved them. How do these two skis compare?

Hi guys, I already have the Santa Ana 93 from 2 years ago and love them for all mountain but find them quite heavy in powder. I bought the Elan Ripstick 94w with an ATK binding for touring but am wondering if I would benefit from the greater float of the 104 (although I see only in the Enforcer unlimited, not in the Santa Ana unlimited!). Thank you

How does this compare to a Fischer ranger 102 for 80/20 resort and touring use? I'm currently on an armada tst and tested a bentchetler 100 last week...and I like the tst so much more for riding on and off piste, maybe because of the radius difference

I have a length related question for Bob. I'm wondering if you were to buy the 104 limited would stick with the 186 that you demoed or move up to the 191? I'm 6'3", 205 lbs. I have a pair of Enforcer 100s (191) and 88s (186). Both skis are great on groomed, if I had to pick a favorite it would be the 100s. But the longer 100s can be a handful skiing in off piste conditions. I've been thinking about getting another enforcer for moguls and trees, either the normal 104 or the unlimited. Just curious what your thoughts are, thanks!!

Currently skiing a pair of Armada TST. which I am have been a blast on. I live in Winter Park, CO and am looking for a ski that is playful and quick in the trees/moguls, holds a good edge in the bowls, and fun on side hits. I am looking at the Enforcer 104 unlimited, 4frnt Switch, Fischer Ranger 102 fr, or Liberty Orgin. Thanks 5'10 185 aggressive skier.

So do you think the men's vs women's of these are probably the same ski, with the weight being so light already so no differance required? Also the performance difference between these and the Frees really kinda sounds like a similiar discussion as between a traditional Enforcer and the Blizzard Rustler to me? Similiar but different depending on what you want to achieve.

great video as always - is this ski available yet?

I assume carbon fiber fabric they used is weaved more densely rather than the “carbon” being “denser”. The numbers are probably ether the grams per square foot or threads woven per foot. It can get confusing because denser doesn’t always mean stronger with a carbon fiber laminate. It can depend on the type of resin used and the method and temperature of curing the resin (multiple variables).

Greetings from Slovakia! Planning to buy new skis, I focus on riding freeride and also would like to learn some freestyle moves. Planning to put hybrid bindings on it and try some shorter tours but mainly I ride in resorts. I am thinking about maybe 110mm ski, but I also ride groomers when I have to so not sure if its not too much. I am 180cm and 70kg. Can you recommend me something? Thank you guys!

Weight aside, how would this ski compare to the Fischer Ranger 102FR? And when would this '2023' model be available? Thanks, great review!

sounds almost like the Navigators.... so I wonder what the 88s feel like then... I've been eyeing the 85 navigators for a more relaxed ride but still want some performance of course... so maybe 88s ?..... also thinking about the Kore 87s

Love the content. How come you guys don't ever review Faction skis?

In the pnw. Need all mountain powder ski between enforcer 94 and my 1117 pow skis. Upper intermediate. Should I go rustler 10 or unlimited 104? Want somewhat playful but not too much crud deflection... please and thank you

Santa Anna Unlimiteds- getting a pair for wife. She is 5' 6" and 145 and skis fast. I thought the 88s but after looking at both your reviews I think the 94s will be better overall for Colorado resorts. So do I get her 172 or 165? I am thinking since these ski well edge to edge I should go for 172s which will help keep chatter down. You review of the thinner ski tail action pushed me to the 94s for her. Pairing with a Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Ski Bindings

This new enforcer unlimited line seems like the enforcer I always wanted. I demoed an older wide enforcer a couple years ago and just thought it was too heavy and just didn’t fit my style. Seems like it has a lot of the same attributes as the backland 107. Light energetic and maneuverable, carbon mixed in with a lightweight wood core. Nordica seems to be taking a page out of atomic book to some extent. Let me know what you guys think. I really love the backland and I’m sure I would like this enforcer unlimited as well.

You mention new 2023 skis and having a similar conversation… any chance that might include the new Fischer Ranger line that they’re starting to tease? Seen a lot of their folks on the prototypes!

Would you recommend this one for a beginner ski touring set up that would also be a wider ski for resorts, using a Shift binding? Thanks!

I took a trial run this ski.　It’ｓ very good ski,I think.

Great review as always… Is the 104 UL directly comparable to the Fischer 102 RF?

How do you see this as Telemark-ski? I have at the moment Atomic Blog (really old) and I am trying to find the next ski pretty similar than Blogs are.

how do these compare to ripsticks 106, which i love the weight and are super fun.

I’ve had a pair of Nordica NRGY 100s for a few season at 185.The natural replacement seems like a set of Enforcer 100s, however, all the reviews seem to make those skis seem like they reward hard charging and take a lot of power to get the best out of them. The NRGYs ways felt a damp, without a lot of pop, and I’ve found them heavy. They definitely like to go fast. These seem like the perfect blend of an all mountain ski with much less weight and more easy to access pop than an enforcer 100 which for an advanced skier who like to play everywhere seems like a great choice. Is that a fair take and point of comparison? I really want a more playful ski than the NRGYs.

Is that the 100mm brake on those Duke PTs? It fits on the 104? THX!

PNW skier, 210lbs, 6ft - skiing the Enf 110 186 now - [Q] Looking for easier initiation in cruddy bumps but still want some groomer control - 104U looks good to me - would the 179 length help, or better to stick with 186 for my size? (or 104Free?) - Love the site, just right length and info.

Great to hear Nordica knocked it outta the park on this one. Looks like the Ripstick has some serious competition for a 50/50 ski or downhill oriented touring setup. Or as Bob admitted just a great lighter more accessible Enforcer Your comment about a frame binding and how dynamic this enforcer is also interesting. With a 1700g weight kinda want to go frame to have something that really tours well perhaps stick with something with at least some heal elsaticity or jump up to a Kingpin. Very curious if this versitility comes through as well in the 93/94

How does it compare to the Ripstick 106 Black Edition?

[Q] What was the binding you mounted for the testing? Couldn't catch it in the vid.

How do you separate stiff and burly? I know the carbon in the Unlimited makes it stiff, and the 104 Free is burlier. Is one better than the other when skiing steep lines? Aside from the chatter at high speed or dealing with afternoon crud, I don’t really see a downside to this ski compared to the 104 Free

How do they compare to the original Enforcer 100s? That is to say, the ”benchmark Enforcer”? I understand that the new Enforcers are a bit different compared to the OG?

How will these compare to the 104 Frees in (resort) powder and trees?

what's better for hitting and landing jumps on natural features, the new unleashed, The 104 Free or the 104 Unlimited? I'm stuck between the 3. I'm 6'1'' 190lbs

How would you compare them to my volkl M5 from 2020? Looking for something a little lighter but still carving like they do

How do they compare to the BC Justis and Bent Chetler 100?

wow.. lots of good comments.. i have the nordica enforcer 104 free.. something that i have not seen mentioned yet is when i hit a bump on the groomers.. it goes straight to my back.. when i have back issues then i can't ski.. i am going to try my dps foundation skis to see if my back does better.. do these unlimited skis absorb bumps on groomers better than the free?

Hoping to see a video review for the santa ana unlimited 93. I saw your other video but I would love to see a video with them in action like you do with the men's enforcer unlimited of course from a girl perspective.

what do you guys think about the Enforcer 104 Unlimited vs Armada Locator 104 for a 1-ski 50/50?

How would to compare the Black Crows Atris and to this ski?

For the 186 cm version, how tall was the skier?

How would enforcer 104 compared with elan ripstick 106 reg/black??

Hi Jeff/Bob, I want to order Nordica 104FR 2023 and a wonder about lenght 191 cm. I am 6'3'' tall and 198 lbs, agressive skier, love powder, love trees, love long downhill, speed. I will appreciate your help ❄️❄️❄️

Would the 104 free be better in crud vs the unlimited due to weighing more.

How do these skis compare to the new Ripstick 104?

How does these compare to black crows atris for 50% trees/50% big mountain?

Would you mount these at factory recommendation point?

Classic question. Should i go for 179 or 186? I ride my dps wailer 112, 184 today. Im 176cm, 80kg. Directional skier. Please help me out now ;)

Seems like 2 totally different skis. 104 free for hauling ass through crud at the bird. I have 2 pairs of them one as tele. You want metal for these days. Light skis without metal turn like crazy but you end up getting worked from all the bouncing around. Have not skied the Unlimited but if touring or sidecountry is the gig, lighter is better. That said I migt just have to try a pair.

There’s massive chatter on the close up slomo shots. You guys sure this ski is stable enough for groomer skiing? You’re calling it stiff but that chatter visual is clear evidence for flimsy. Obviously I haven’t skied it so can’t speak to the feel.

2023? We still got a whole year to go lol.

You both seem knowledgeable and decent, but nobody needs a 28 minute ski review. Even someone really interested in these skis

Do you guys ever go off piste ? those skis are meant for so much more
