Nordica Enforcer Alpine Ski - 2008 BCS

Used these 2 seasons on all that the west has to offer. They bomb in all conditions I skied which is usually during or after a storm. On groomers they handle fine but chatter at high speeds so prefer a GS or SL ski with traditional cut for hardpack. So Enforcers provide a good all round ski and have plenty of float for what I'd call deep or deep enough pow. I don't think you need the sidecut for pow but I don't see it as a hindrance. Will try the Rocker for a pure pow ski but these certainly tear up the steep and deep. They like short turns and skid fine just not like a traditional non sidecut/shaped ski. If I have only one ski to bring this is the one.
Note review is limited to inbounds/side country not pure hike to or heliski type unbounded terrain. I ride a fixed heel setup with 115 stiffness boots.

This is the one ski quiver (for most people). This ski is much like the Volkl Mantra but more snappy and playful. The Mantra feels sluggish compared to the Enforcer. This ski will do it all, groomers, soft bumps, pow, crud, and mash potatoes. The tip is slightly softer than the tail which is a very good thing (unlike the Mantra). This allows the tip of the ski to hook up quick and makes for snappy turns in all conditions. This also allows extra float and slice in the pow, crud, and bumps. At mach speeds (super-g or downhill turns on a 35 deg groomed pitch) it does get slightly jittery. But if the only thing you want to ski is groomers fast, look for a race ski. This ski is all about versatility and does it well!!!

This year they are no longer a twin tip so im not sure what BC is thinking(No park for these bad boys unless your not landing switch). Maybe they put the 09' ski with the 08' description. Either way sick set of sticks. If you want to go OB or backcountry get your self a pair of skis that are ment for off piste. These are ment for all mtn, everyday use, ripping groomers, and stable skiing on everything else.

i don't have these skis exactly, but from the year before. i do not know if they are made differently, but i am 6'0" 175lbs and these skis were way too soft. they would be great for smaller of less aggressive skiers I'm sure, but for any person who only knows how to charge big lines and go mach loony no matter what, these skis are not for you, go get something stiffer. they are a good in-bounds ski if conditions are nice, but don't do very well in crud, and they are awesome for ripping down groomers, they turn real nice, but who wants to do that all day???
