PTO Review
We skied them. Here's how they stack up.
These skis span 2 categories (All-Mountain, Carving). Scores reflect each ski's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Enforcer 94 — advanced-to-expert skiers who ski fast, drive the ski, and want a firm-snow carver that still covers the rest of the mountain. Laser SX — piste skiers who want one comfortable, wide-range carver and prefer all-day ease to race-build effort. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all skis on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Enforcer 94 | Laser SX |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 9🏆 | 8 |
| Park | 1🏆 | 1🏆 |
| Playfulness | 5🏆 | 5🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 3 | 6🏆 |
| Stability | 8🏆 | 7 |
| Powder | 3🏆 | 2 |
Advanced-to-expert skiers who ski fast, drive the ski, and want a firm-snow carver that still covers the rest of the mountain. It suits skiers who live on-piste but still meet crud, bumps and late-day mank, and lower-snow, hardpack-heavy home mountains where edge grip matters more than float.
Beginners and cruising intermediates: two sheets of Titanal, a strong tail and real weight are more than they can drive, and the 94 punishes passivity. Powder-first skiers should look elsewhere - at 94mm the float is modest, and the wider Enforcer 104 or a dedicated powder ski is the tool for deep days. Skiers after a loose, surfy, playful or park feel, or a light touring ski, should choose something else: this is a firm-snow carver, and it is heavy. Nordica's page lists a broad beginner-to-expert range; the independent reviews consistently land on Advanced-Expert. Side with the reviewers.
Piste skiers who want one comfortable, wide-range carver and prefer all-day ease to race-build effort. It suits medium-to-long-turn skiers at moderate-to-fast speed — the Laser SX runs the longest radius in the line — who value low-input, forgiving manners on groomed and variable hard snow over maximum edge bite. Stöckli's own brief calls it a genuine all-rounder among piste skis.
Powder and off-piste skiers: at 74 mm on a pure on-piste geometry the Laser SX has no float, and the wider range Stöckli talks about is range within the groomers, not off them. Short-turn and slalom-rhythm skiers: the radius bottoms out at 13.1 m, and quick edge-to-edge belongs to the Laser CX or the shorter Laser SL. Skiers chasing race-level grip and power: there is no Race Core, no carbon, and no racing sidewall here, and the 1.5° comfort base bevel is not the 1.0° race tune of the SC and WRT — that bite lives on those skis, not this one. Anyone who needs a published on-snow test before buying should wait: this generation is completely redesigned and no independent review of it exists yet — every existing Laser SX review is of the older, narrower ski and does not apply. And Stöckli lists no skier level of its own; read this as an intermediate-to-advanced piste ski, inferred from its mechanics rather than measured on snow.
The Enforcer 94 is best for advanced-to-expert skiers who ski fast, drive the ski, and want a firm-snow carver that still covers the rest of the. The Laser SX is best for piste skiers who want one comfortable, wide-range carver and prefer all-day ease to race-build effort. The right choice depends on your primary terrain, ability level, and riding style.
The Nordica Enforcer 94 scores highest in Stability at 8/10, making it the strongest all-mountain option. It handles groomers, chop, and variable conditions without losing composure, so it's the best single-ski choice for skiers who want one pair for the whole mountain.
The Nordica Enforcer 94 leads in Carving with a PTO score of 9/10. Its edge grip on hard snow and groomed runs is the strongest in this comparison.
The Stöckli Laser SX is the most forgiving option with a Forgiveness score of 6/10. It doesn't punish imperfect technique, making it the easiest ski to progress on among these.
