Can one ski rule them all?
An independent ski review
by Francis Faillace
Calling all ski guys across the country. Are you tired of searching the world for the right ski, and maybe compromising your manhood in the process? I know I am! Today’s ski market is saturated with a million options that come in every shape, size, and color. It’s safe to say that every possible type of snow or ice condition has some specifically designed ski: from disgustingly fat powder skis with little side cut to emaciated mogul skis that have more side cut than M.C. Hammer’s flattop. Is it so difficult to ask for just one ski to ski it all?
I’m looking for the ski equivalent of the ’09 BMW M3. A sleek and sexy sports car that can comfortably take me on a cruise downtown while at the same time offers a V8 engine that produces 414 horsepower of raw muscle, and doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Does such a ski exist?
Well Gents—wait no longer—the Enforcer is here. As part of their Supercharger line, Nordica has released the Enforcer with its sleek black design, accented by lighting bolts. The ski stands strong with a 135 mm tip, 98 mm mid section, and 125 mm tail—all on a Energy Frame TI rooted on a wood core. Sure we are all gear junkies to a certain degree and love hearing these facts, but what does this really mean. Offered at just under $600.00 this ski, in my opinion, blew all of the competition out of the water as the clear and all around best ski on the market–yes that’s right. Forget the K2 Seth Vicious and Volkl’s Mantra, the Enforcer is here.
This ski rocks; never had a pair of skis crush and conquer the entire mountain like the Enforcer. From epic powder to hard pack and ice bumps, the Enforcer floated through powder and cut through bumps like a hot knife through butter. The under foot stability was impressive while allowing quick edge to edge carving, ultimately offering the best of both worlds. And don’t even get me started about air time. With these skis I felt so stable and confident that I was able to charge harder and faster into every hit–25 feet off the deck simply felt like another walk in the park. If don’t already own Nordica’s Enforcer, you’d better get yourself a pair . . . or you’re going to be left in the dust.
