Review: 185 Nordica Enforcer
Ski: 06/07 Nordica Enforcer
Skier: 6'3" 190lb Likes - big turns, deep snow. I would consider my self a stong, athletic skier.
Ive seen a couple bad reviews on these, so I figured I would throw my .2c in. Ive put 150+ days in on these split between 2 seasons, 1 at KHMR and 1 at WB. These were my first real pow boards coming from east. I have them mounted between the AIR and RIDE lines.
Powder - A
At medium speeds they won't float on top of the deepest days. A full speed they will float, but feel short at mach speeds. Overall, they work very well in all types of fresh. From coast snot to interior fluff I have been very happy with them. They turn easy, lean them over and let them go. I have never felt the hookyness that others have. I think they are great in pow, just wish they made a longer version (I am 6'3" though). I like the flex on them, just stiff enough.
Chopped - B+
If you stay on the gas they work well. They have a bit of a soft tip that will bash through the chopped nicely. If you get lazy on them though they will get bounced around. Get on top of them, get forward and hang on.
Groomer - A+
Ive had "groomer" skis that were not as much fun. Enough said. Stay away from ice though.
Bumps
I avoid bumps like the plague as I hate bump. For a 100mm waisted ski they work fine though. They are pretty easy to toss around so that helps.
Overall - A
They are a great ski. They really can go anywhere, on anything. I think they would make a great side-country/touring setup. In one word....Versatile.
