After receiving positive feedback following a major overhaul last season, the Enforcer 104 returns with a new topsheet and all the features that made this directional all-terrain ski a standout in Nordica’s lineup.
At the heart of the Enforcer 104, you’ll find a sturdy ride that screams hard-charging skiing. Nordica’s combination of two full-length metal sheets and an elastomer layer underfoot creates a stable platform that absorbs vibrations and chatter effectively. This construction translates your movements directly to the snow with remarkable precision, delivering control and predictability when navigating variable conditions off the beaten path.
The engineering changes introduced in the previous season—lowered tail rocker, added rubber damping and refined shape—have proven successful in aligning the ski with directional skiers’ needs. These refinements allow advanced skiers to confidently push through chopped-up snow with authority. However, this burly build does trade some liveliness for exceptional dampness, making this ski more inclined to plow through fresh snow rather than surf atop it.
If you prefer a more playful feel, Nordica’s Unleashed collection offers increased tip and tail rocker with a softer flex profile. For frontside-focused skiers, the narrower Enforcer 94 provides quicker edge-to-edge transitions while maintaining the same reliable construction principles that define the Enforcer family. But as far as daily freeride skis go, this is the cream of the crop.
With its combination of stability and directional performance, this ski continues to be an outstanding choice for advanced skiers seeking confidence and reliability when venturing beyond the boundaries of groomed terrain.
