Great video! Cheers from Idaho

Couldn't resist picking up a pair of the black enforcer 110s 🔥

Enforcer is basically an extremely stable crud cutter, which gives you a lot of confidence

"Rickety" Elliot is going to have a field day! : ) ... (referring to the recent rant about how Enforcer was in bad need of upgrade) : )

Just got a pair of 99's and love them, much quicker than the 100 which I thought was a dead ski. Very good in moguls, much easier to release the tails now. While it does rip big GS turns, I almost think I could ski a slalom course on these. Didn't get on pure ice but some very hard, firm frozen terrain and they hold pretty much as well as my Brahma's without being locked into the turn. Lots of discussion on size, I don't think these ski long. Im 6'1 200lbs and got the 185. I haven't tried the 179 so I cant say much but not once did I feel I should be on a shorter length. I guess it depends where you ski but here at Lake Louise and Sunshine this is the perfect length for me.

Great overview as always, thank you! Would love to hear your thoughts on Enforcer 89 vs Anomaly 88 in terms of feel and overall performance. Both Nordica and Blizzard seems to be following extremely similar evolution path.

I was about to pull the trigger on E100 this weekend, very motivated to try the 99 now

Really interesting... I've owned most of the old Enforcer line and the 110 (186) was one of my favorite skis of all time as a 1 ski quiver in Colorado. I always grabbed it over the old E 100. The only place I really wanted something different was long periods of no snow. This season my 110s were skied out, no camber left, and I was going for a quiver, so got on the Rossi BO 118 and it is just spectacular in soft snow. I thought I would never break up with the 110s, but wow, the BO 118 is all smiles. The old Enforcer 94 has become my 'everything else' ski, I really like the strong tail and how smooth yet tenacious it is in hard snow, so I'm not necessarily exited about more tail rocker in the 94. However I spent many days on the old E 104 free in a 186 and 177 and never got along with it. It felt like too much rocker for how directional it wanted to be and so I'm really excited about the new 104 as a possible middle ski in my quiver. (That or the Mantra 102.) How would you compare the new E 104 to the Mantra 102?

Had the pleasure of skiing on the 89.....easy to initiate, phenomenal edge grip, strong tail relieved with the rocker makes it feel easy to manipulate, I really really like this ski, torsionally stiff, holds on boilerplate ice and bumps on Outer Limits like a dream. Very confidence inspiring strong ski, versatile, great all mtn ski, can ski this in one size down and it will handle speed. I love this ski. The women's Santa Ana would be a good choice for moguls because it's softer.

Living in the PNW the Enforcer 104Free is my daily resort ski. Looking forward to trying the new one.

Great video guys, I really enjoy your videos. You are the reason why I bought a 2023, enforcer 94 at 172. And it handles both Wachusett and stow with equal aplomb. Of course now I’m going to need some 104s for my trips out West lol.

That’s a bummer to me that they flattened the tail out especially on the 104. The amount of swivelness plus the power you got with those older models was insane. Hopefully it will be a similar feel with releasing each turn. Great vid thanks

Having an enforcer 94 I can attest for all the good (glued to snow, plow tru anything its incredible) and the bad (cant be skied at low speed and low edge angle) wich means its not fun for a day I'd like to ski 70% moguls... those days I kinda prefer some racing skis (like if there it hasnt snowed in a few days I find more versatility in racing skis)... wich kinda kill the purpose of having an all mountain ski in my quiver. So I'm looking forward to try those new ones. Yet I might still go for something else like I really enjoyed the Declivity or the Sender (wish I tried those before I bought my Enforcer).

Thanks for your info, you guys are great! Please continue to give your opinions for bigger older guys who are interested in knowing which skis could be skied possibly shorter.

Thanks - awesome as usual guys. I was literally (been sitting in my basket) considering buying a pair of Enforcer 104 Free's but I will now wait until next season as I do ski directionally - have been mostly on a Cochise for the last 10(?) years and need to move on as I get older (52) and charge slightly less!

Hey guys... fantastic summary ( as always)... how does this "new" 94 compare with the Serpo?... thx!!

Hey! I ski a 2023 Enforcer 94 in 191 and love it. But I'm also 6'4" and 280lbs and like to make aggressive turns, so maybe I qualify under the very large carve-out

It's the skier who made those skis work. You both can make any skis a pair of good skis.

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I really like the shape of the current 104s and thought the twin tip was a get out jail free card when the crud got really manky so I'm not sure it's an upgrade for me -kind of reminds of the Bonafide a wide ,flat ski bit of a contradiction. I guess there is always the unlimited.

23:10 That went a different direction than I was thinking. I was thinking offense (Carving), defense (Cutting through crud), and special teams (Park, Trees, Moguls).

Skiing the M-Pro 85 at 176cm at the moment and really enjoying it on piste. However I think I'll be looking to add a wider, slightly more freeride shaped ski to my quiver. Something that's nonetheless way under 100m, as it should still lend itself well for on piste. I'm intrigued by the Enforcer 94 is it sounds like it can be driven quite hard. I'm 6'1 and 190 lbs, mainly skiing long runs in the Alps and have been doing so for over 20 years but only very recently been "getting into gear."

Great overview of the updated Enforcer range. I currently run the 186 Enforcer 100 and was planning to replace it with the 104 Free, to get some relief and an upgrade in manoeuvrability and soft snow performance. Given the changes it looks to be still a good choice, but any comments on comparing the new 104 with the new Rustler 10 in terms of soft snow performance and playfulness?

104 FR was my favorite Enforcer of rhe current generation. I skied the new 99, 94 and 89 today at Loon. From my perspective your analysis is spot on. I really enjoyed the 99. Still very strong but a bit more versatile than the 100. Also skied the Anomoly's. Again. I agree that the changes from the current generation to the Anomoly's is more significant than the changes in the Enforcers. the Anomoly 94 was excellent.

I've loved the 104 Free as my west coast all-mountain and east-cost powder ski. Bummed to see if get more directional, it's so good in the trees!

I demoed the 2024 Enforcers, but I still prefer my K2 Mindbenders 90TI. I’m looking for new skis, was thinking of trying the Stockli Montero AR

Thx for the review! How about a comparison of the Enforcer 94 with the Ripstick 96? Carving Rockies @ 5'8" 160#. Cheers!

Guys, please ALWAYS show us rocker profile like you do for the exact model video

Trying to decide on the new enforcer 89’s or some Mindbender 89’s. What would you prefer for someone bobs size for 70/30 on piste off piste?

In the E 89, does the added 1m in turn radius make a noticeable difference. I love the current E88 179cm with 16.5m radius, so just wondering about the new having 17.5m...

Hi. New Enforcer 94 vs Rossi sender 94ti? Thanks nick.

Hey guys ! Great insight as always! I’m an advanced skier from Quebec , 5’6 170 pounds 45 years old, skiing on a Rossi react 10. Looking for an all mountain, mainly on piste, especially for that spring skiing snow…interested in the enforcer 94, maverick 95 ti and Rossi sender 94 ti… Any insight would be greatly appreciated… keep up the great work!!

I just love the stability of the Enforcer 100. I hope the 99 retains that. I've heard it's more "skiddy" and I wouldn't want that. I like the thought free stability going from surface to surface. You want to think it's an easy ski? Come off skiing M5 Mantras for 4 years lol. The Enforcer 100s feel like you've got training wheels compared to those beasts.

I ski the unleashed 98 as a one ski quiver in Vermont. I love the ski. If I was looking for a more hard snow oriented ski, would these new enforcers (94 or 99) provide that without feeling drastically different overall? I still want a smooth, playful and energetic feel that I can take anywhere but with more edge grip when carving groomers. Love the vids! Thank you!

Really disappointed that there's no 191 cm version this year of the Enforcer 94, was looking to getting my first own all-mountain skis after a long pondering, and really need (or prefer) a longer pair as I am 206 cm (6'9") myself. Mostly skiing on-piste with variable conditions in Europe during late winter/early springtime, and prefer a wider pair of skis, but not all the way to the freeride-type skis. Sadly have to start inspecting other options again.

Thanks - another amazing video! Currently ski'n the 104 Free (179) out West in CO (Intermediate-Advanced) and loving my first year on them. Ironically, where I am having some trouble is at slower speeds when I'm hanging back with the family, so love the idea of better response at lower speeds when needed with the new models. I'm mainly skiing groomers and don't venture off piste too often. Being a taller guy (6'4" - 200 lbs), would you upgrade to the newer 104s or try the 94s given I'm mainly on western groomers? Also - stick w/ the 179 length or venture up?

Bob and Jeff, nice video as always! One question, I think about new 104 vs qst 106 vs new paragon 107. Which one is better for use case for Alta and PNW? How about the carving and technical terrains between those two? Thank you!

I guess the adage if it ain't broke don't fix it applies here. As you said in the review mainly similar to existing models with minimal changes. Honestly I was expecting more lightweight versions (somewhere in between the Unlimited and existing Enforcers) as that seems to be the trend with not much change to the shape. Maybe I just need to be patient and there will be some new Unlimiteds coming. Thanks for the analysis.

What about Unlimited enforcers for next year? Looking for a fun mid 90mm hybrid ski for touring that can carve groomers well 😮 cheers

howdy, what resort were these enforcers demo’d at? great vid

Looking at adding a pair of 89’s to my quiver but can’t decide on length. I’m 6’3 and 220 lbs currently skiing Dobermann GSR RB FDT 2019 model in 180 length as my dedicated frontside groomer ski and Enforcer 104 Free in 191 as my offpiste / all mountain ski. The 89 would be my spring / slush / soft spring crud ski with main focus on frontside. I’m leaning towards the 179 to get a bit more playfullness out of the ski. However my main concern is edge grip/hold. With both other pairs I have the length I’m skiing is spot on. I’m a fairly strong/ aggressive skier. Tried some Bent Chetler 100’s in 188 a couple of years back and pushed right trough them. Even in softer snow I had to tune back my aggressiveness a lot to prevent the ski’s from chattering. Will the 179 hold up even in firmer/ icier early morning spring conditions or do I need the 185’s to get that extra bit of hold?

Thanks for all the great content! What would you recommend between this new 104, an atris or the current 104 free? I’ve been skiing the 2nd edition enforcer 100 but find it takes a bit too much work when we’re out the entire family and not going very fast with the kids. My only other pair is the 1st edition disruption mti, which also isn’t the best with the kids when having to chase them among the trees. I was hoping to replace my current enforcers with another pair keeping my “quiver” to just two skiis.

Great summary. Im wondering if the Enforcer 94 in 185 cm will be to short for me. I'm 6'6 235 lbs. I ski 60% on groomers and the rest of the time in powder and trees. Should i be looking for something else?

Anomaly 102 vs Enforcer 99, which is more suited for crud charging in open bowls (Colorado)? And which is 'looser, quicker' for tighter bumps, techy steeps and trees? I currently ski the 184cm Mantra M6 and love its precision, ease and predictability in every application, the only tiny negative is I wouldn't describe it as 'fun'.

Hi! I was wondering how the Enforcer 99 compares with the Mindbender 99ti off trail. I really liked the Mindbender in a 184 for its stability in variable conditions, but I found it pretty maneuverable given its tail rocker. If the Enforcer 99 has similar tail release and maneuverability, but can carve even better, then that sounds pretty ideal to me.

they're here!!!

Hey skiessentials, I currently ski a 186 104 free, and while I love them when I’m in conditions where I can carve a turn, I find them pretty unwieldy in anything else because of the weight/length (especially at slower speeds). I thought that a 179 in that ski would be better fit, but I feel conflicted on the 2025 changes - while the tapering of the metal seems like a welcome change to swing weight, I’m worried that the reduced rocker profile would make the 179 “ski longer” than the old shape. Do you think the 2025 104 in a 179 would be a better fit for me, or would you recommend an entirely different ski? For context I’m a 5’8” 170lb ex racer skiing in the PNW. Thanks!

Well I guess I am gonna be buy new 94s and 104s 😂. SE when is your head Raptor review coming you were talking about a while ago?

Based upon your videos and answers to my questions (thank you), I demoed the Ruster 10 and enforcer free 104 from the Basin at killington Wednesday. at 5'9 260 I enjoyed the both skis but found enforcer free to be more powerful but I enjoyed the quicker edge to edge of the rustler 10. How does the new enforcer 104 compare to the old one? Also, how would the newly designed 99 compare to these as well? Thanks

"These are some of our biggest fallers". 😂🎉❤

Was hoping for a slightly lighter ski and better graphics. Too bad Nordica didn't have these 2 weeks ago at demo day.

So just got done skiing my new 88TI out here in Colorado very nice. But man still does not hook up like my 4 year old Enforcers. Just want your comment on both skiing mostly the front side....Thanks

How would you compare E99 to Anomoly 102? I have 183 Brahma 88 I use for hard snow and 191 Enforcer 110 for almost everything else but looking for a all around in between. Had Enforcer 100 and thought they were boring. Just sold my Bonafides, I prefer the Brahma, way more versatile than they are given credit for. I also have 186 enforcer 94 that are good but not as good as Brahmas on hard and not really exciting that I am selling. I prefer a chargey ski more than floaty. I ski in Canadian Rockies 40-50 days a year, 6'1 200 pounds.

Former ski instructor, steep and bump skier from Sugarloaf that is recentering g the sport from a long hiatus. Very long. Last set of boards were a set of 200cm Volkl P9SL skinnies. I’m only 5’3” 160lbs, but have powerful legs and a technically very good skier. Would I be correct in assuming the Enforcer 88/89 in a 170ish length be suitable for me? I have this instinct to go long because that is where I used to be on skinnies, but I understand it’s a new ball game with shapers.

Thank you for the video. I'm watching your videos foo days now to select my all mountain skis. Was looking for the 94 2024 but now hesitating with 2025 94 or 99. I have a pair of 2020 Atris for powder days (189,7 waist 109) I'm 185 cm tall and 85kg (sorry French guy ;-)) What would be your recommendation for a all day ski that will be used on a daily basis for the next 6 years off piste but one or two weeks a year so no guarantee to get powder conditions even off piste ;-). I'd like to get your thoughts about enforcer 2024 vs 2025 in which waist and hight size for my profile and usage thanks and continue to share your passion that is very useful

Haven't owned a new ski in almost 10 years, and looking for a new daily driver. Early 30s, 5'11", 210 lbs, pretty athletic, live in (and grew up skiing around) Colorado and just got back into skiing last season. Upper intermediate (/advanced?) that wants a ski to primarily handle on-piste with a bias towards something I can carve on steep groomers. Would the Enforcer 89 in a 179 length fit the bill? Torn between the 89 and the 94, and not sure if the 179 would be a bit too long. Thanks!

You say that the new Enforcer series seems stiffer flexing compared to the old. I take it that means sizing down which you talked about in the "old" Enforcer 94 video is still viable?

Hi! Thank you for a great video. I am an advanced skier looking to buy an all mountain ski from the new nordica line up, but I also want the opportunity to go on some light touring once in a while. I am currently considering the enforcer 104 unlimited with a shift binding. Do you guys think that’s a good setup?

I am not sure what to do. I just bought the Enforcer 94 2024 model and didn’t even realize a new model was available? Should I go with the new model instead for a little more playfulness? My brain can’t take anymore ski uncertainty lol

Hello great review! How does the Enforcer 94 compare to the Rustler 9? Thx!

I’m NE skier - choosing between the 94 and the 99 will be hard. For the moment I’m seeking guidance on length. I’m a strong intermediate, 6’, 175 lbs. I ski a Rustler 9 in a 180 and love it. Would you recommend a 94/99 Enforcer in a 173 or 179 length? Many Thanks!

I’m curious about the measured weight difference, for my case between the 100 and the 99 in a 179cm

Not sure these tweaks are enough to move the needle for me. Looking for something very damp but not punishing to compliment my Rustler 10 mostly for firm steeps, bumps and trees. 88-96 underfoot. Any recs?

With a more pronounced new tail rocker, would you still ski the same length as before? Or would you go longer, especially with a mounting point moving up?

Hey guys, the '25 E94 might perfect but worried about the weight. I'm 5'8 197, I would ski them everywhere out west. On a FX 96ti in 172 and feel the tail won't release in the crud/chop how I would like but it rips. Do I drop down to the 167? Demoed the Serpo in 174 & Stormrider 95 in 170 and liked both for reference. Thx guys as always.

I've got carvers and eastern all-mountain covered. But, my western all-mountains are about 10 years old - Enforcer 100's. I LOVE them! Even so, would I love the upcoming 99's noticeably more? I know from you guys that the swing weight is less and the metal shape has been refined. Will I really notice a difference enough to buy new ones? Also, my 100's do float in powder (that's why I got them), but would 104's be better for me? I mean, I go out west a couple weeks a season; how often do I really get pow deep enough to float in?

So I am getting a little bit lost here. I am an advanced skier on the groomers but a beginner at freeride. I was planning to get a 104 Unlimited as a complement to my carving ski. But now, I'm not sure the new enforcer would be right for me. The much higher weight and longer turn radius makes the new 104 completely different from the old 104 Unlimited. Should I look elsewhere?

Hey just a quick question. Would the armada reliance 102Ti make a good ski for a racer that moved to Colorado looking to learn to ski powder but mostly likes fast groomer runs? They seem like a great match in reviews I’m read but just curious on your thoughts. Thanks!

I feel that Enforcer 94 is now more approachable because of the tail rocker. Is that the correct assumption?

Jeff - I own 6 pair of skis and the E104Free in 186 is my favorite so everything ski (6’1” 185 cm height 200 lb). What I enjoy most is the all mountain versatility plus weight plus loose tail. In contrast, I never liked the traditional Enforcer series having owned (and sold) and E88 and demod the E100. My question to you is what ski is now closest to the soon to be retired E104Free? Debating if I should buy another pair and put in storage. Thoughts?

would it be crazy to size up to a 179 for a smaller sized advanced/expert level skier? Normally I would stay around 170. It would mainly be used as an open bowl/groomer ski (whistler) with some trees and tighter stuff as well.

So I mainly ski Vermont with a trip out west every year. I am looking to upgrade from an older enforcer and it seems like the 99s are the ones to get. Before 94 was the “sweet spot” but most reviews talk up the 99s. Is the 94 or the 99 the best to get?

You seem really knowledgeable! I have a question. If I’m 5’ 8”, 140 lbs, and an advanced skier, what skis would be best for me? I’m looking for a ski that can carve, can float decently in powder, and can work for park skiing, since I’m getting into that. I also enjoy moguls and I don’t usually go super fast.

do you guys think the enforcer 94 or 99 would be a good all mountain ski for the east coast?

Debating between Enfocer 89 and Atomic Maverick 88TI. Currently have Atomic Bent 100, Bent 120 and Backland 107. I ski West Coast Canada. Looking for a narower resort ski for the icy /hardpack days to add to the quiver. Other than weight, any thoughts between the two. Much thanks!!

Im wondering why you are recommending the 179 over 185 in the E99 to bigger guys.

Are the 94’s a better carver than the 99’s? I know on paper the 94’s are supposed to be due to their narrower width but wanted to know your real world thoughts?

does the enforcer 110 free ski like the unleashed 108? i hate unleashed, feels so dead and floppy.

How are they compared to the new blizzard anomaly especially in carving mode?

Can you talk about how this affected the turn radius? It sure looks like it is longer on all of the skis..

How does the new 2025 E104 compare to the Line Blade Optic 104? I’m an older skier looking for versatility, slower speed responsiveness and stability in variable snow. I’m also interested in how the Enforcer 99 and Santa Ana 102 compare to the Mindbender 99ti. Thanks!

Kendo 88 vs Enforcer 89 Frontside usage for a 230lbs skier?

Hey guys, looking for some advices here. I am currently looking for a new all mountain ski. After watching many of your videos I am considering the Enforcer 104, Enforcer 99, Mana 2, Resort 101 but I’m also opened to other suggestions. I am an expert level skier, I like to charge fast but I also play around a lot. I love to jump every chance I get and if there is fresh snow I will definitely be riding trees and hitting cliffs so I need something manoeuvrable. I ride on the east coast and I currently have: CT 2.0 (destroyed but loved them), Atris (touring set up) and Doberman SLR for occasional carving. Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys. What can you say about the differences between 88, and 89.?

From watching the video, the new 99 now seems to make the new 104 redundant and unnecessary?

94’s or 99’s for a New England skier?

Any word if there will be a new unleashed line?

Is there still the Enforcer Unlimited or are those done?

Any knowledge of a revamp for the free line?

Bro 2024 just started and there’s already 2025 skis

So basically, a return in performance to that 2019 era Enforcer that was universally loved, since this most recent generation was not as big of a hit.

Rossi Sender Free 110 just got better!!!

Skis are too stiff good for high speed charging but not for smearing

Aha juste bought enforcer 104 for my first skis maybe i made good deal 😂

The embargo is over

Nordica should have changed the graphic design of this new collection.

Take this for what it's worth - When you are introducing a new line of updated skis like this with four new skis and their predecessors are all on the wall, it can get very confusing about which waist-width ski you're talking about. Think about your audience. They're feeding their kids dinner and trying to follow along. If you preface more of your commentary and constantly remind them specifically which ski you are talking about on an ongoing basis, then it will be much easier to follow along. One other thing. This might be heresy to the younger generation, but saying that a ski is "awesome" tells your potential customer nothing about the product

Bob would you pick the 2024 88 or the 2025 89 for east coast bumps, trees, groomers on low tide days... we are about the same size etc
