Nordica Enforcer 104 Skis 25/26

The Enforcer 104 takes everything the 99 does and pushes it wider for big mountain and powder. 104mm underfoot with dual titanal — this is not a surf-y, playful fat ski. It's a freeride tool with serious authority.

Interesting detail: at 2,000g in the 179, the 104 is actually lighter than the 99 (2,100g). Nordica reduces the titanal sheet width as the ski gets wider — the Santa Ana line does the same thing. Less metal means less weight, but also slightly less dampening in absolute terms. In practice, the 104mm surface area compensates — there's more ski underfoot to absorb vibrations.

18.5m radius is longer than the 94 and 99, which makes sense. This ski wants medium to long turns in open terrain. Tight trees are not its strength. But in bowls, chutes, and wide-open powder faces, it's incredible. The camber underfoot gives you edge hold when you need to lock in on a traverse or hold a line through wind-affected snow.

Compared to the Blizzard Rustler 11 (114mm), the Enforcer 104 is narrower, more precise, and more hardpack-capable. The Rustler is wider, lighter, and more playful. The Enforcer is the choice for the skier who wants one big-mountain ski that also works on the groomers back to the lodge.
