2019 Nordica Enforcer 93 Skis

The Nordica Enforcer 93 has become one of the most popular all mountain skis in recent years due to its versatility and high performing, yet approachable overall feel. The ski is constructed using a poplar and beech wood core, which is sandwiched between two .4 mm thick sheets of titanal, then wrapped in carbon fiber. It has camber underfoot with quite a bit of long, low rise tip rocker and a fair amount of tail rocker as well. The tips and tails have a blunt, slightly tapered shape that gives it a very catch-free feel. The combination of construction and shape results in a ski that has versatile performance for a wide range of snow conditions and terrain.

Jeff Neagle tested the 185 cm Enforcer 93 and his first comment was that it’s “just such a solid all mountain ski.” That’s certainly reflected in how he scored the Enforcer 93, with every single category receiving at least a 4 out of 5. According to Jeff, “for advanced skiers looking for a one-ski-quiver it doesn’t get much better than this.” The Enforcer 93 definitely has a really good blend of performance for firm snow, powder, and everything in between. “Unique blend of stability, power, maneuverability, and forgiveness that’s rare for skis with this much metal.” We think that’s pretty darn accurate for the Enforcer 93, which according to Jeff makes it appropriate for anyone “from intermediate to expert.”

Benny Wax was on the 177 cm Enforcer 93 and had a similar reaction to Jeff. “If you only want one pair of skis these are them.” That’s relatively vague, but he’s right in the sense that the Enforcer 93 really is a great choice for a one-ski-quiver for a lot of people. Benny described it as “great in all terrain. Stable, yet can turn really quick in short radius turns. Smooth, solid, and encouraging. Makes you want to charge harder.” Those are really good ways of thinking about the Enforcer 93: versatile, able to make different turn shapes, and a confidence-inspiring ski overall. Like Jeff, Benny didn’t give the Enforcer 93 a single score under 4.

Jason Krupsky has a strong racing background and some experience on Nordica skis, which he touched on in his feedback after testing the 185 cm length. “Skis like a Nordica. What I mean by that is it’s very damp and extremely stable, similar to their Doberman race skis.” That’s high praise from Jason, and he’s right that the Enforcer 93 definitely has some race influence, especially in its construction. The thinner metal than is used in race skis, however, makes it slightly softer flexing and more forgiving. “If you like to ski big fast turns or want a ski that will destroy crud, look no further.” Interesting that Jason focused on big turns, while Benny noted that they make short turns well. We take that as further evidence of the versatility of this ski.

Justin Perry gave the Enforcer 93 the highest scores out of any tester, mostly all 5 out of 5. He didn’t have much to say about it, preferring to just let the ski speak for itself. “Great skis all around. All Enforcer skis are great, so there’s not much to say.” He did mention that the 185 cm length he tested skied a touch short and mentioned that some skiers may want to size up on the Enforcer 93.

We’re certain the Enforcer 93 from Nordica is going to continue to be a popular ski among skiers looking for a versatile, high performing all mountain ski. It can carve turns on groomers, slash, pivot, and smear turns in soft snow, has excellent vibration damping and stability, yet is impressively forgiving for the amount of metal in the ski. When you consider all of this there’s really no wonder why it’s so popular.

  1. Hi Guys,

    I am 5′ 10″ and over 250 probably an advanced intermediate and I’m trying to decide between these and the Atomic 97TI I ski mostly in New England little mix of on and off trail. My local ski shop is recommending the 97TI but I have enforcer 110’s for backcountry and I really love them but haven’t been able to find any objective thoughts on the Atomic’s any recommendations would be so helpful

    1. Hi John!

      Overall the new Vantage series and the Enforcer collection have a different feel. My first instinct is that if you love the feel of your Enforcer 110, it makes a lot of sense to stick with what you know you like and get the Enforcer 93. I also think its construction will support your weight a little better than the Vantage. The Vantage is an awesome ski, and it super responsive, but I think the Enforcer 93 has a little bit better stability and vibration damping, which I think you’d appreciate at your size.

      Hope that helps!

  2. Hi there! First of all, thanks a lot for the great amount of reviews and content that you guys keep us entertained with! I’m currently looking forward to the new season here in Austria. I am 70ish kg 174 cm tall, I would say I fall into the category early advanced skier. So far I’ve been skiing with shorts and narrow full carving skis (165 / 71) that I bought couple of years ago and I ski around 15-20 times per season. I think it’d be a good time to step my game up with something more suitable to an advanced stage. I am mostly on the piste but whenever the conditions are more powder friendly I am always happy to go off the groomers. That is why I thought about the Enforcer 93 and the Vantage 90 CTI (from 17/18). As far as I’ve understood, the former are relatively stiff skis with a considerable amount of metal, while the Vantage 90 CTI are lighter and therefore more forgiving and quicker in response; versatile and suitable to early advanced skiers. Therefore t I think the Atomics would be a better fit for me. What do you think, am I looking in the right direction or the Enforcer 93 would be as good as a match for me? As for the length of the ski, I’m still doubting whether I should go for 169 or 176/177. I kind of feel more inclined to opt for the 176 since in the long term they will be more stable while the 169 might fall a bit too short. On the other hand, I’ve gotten used to driving very shorts skis and it could be too much of a jump. Do you think I should choose the 176 or instead stick to the 169 since I’m more of a lightweight skier? Once more, thanks lots and cheers! Alvaro

    1. Hi Alvaro!
      I copied your previous response here, please let me know if you need additional info!
      Both are great skis! The Enforcer 93, for being an advanced ski, is actually quite user-friendly. The metal laminates found in the Enforcers are very thin, so it doesn’t behave like a stiffer ski, even though it can handle a lot of different terrain and snow conditions. The Atomics have a lot going for them as well–you’ll get slightly better on-piste performance out of these skis based on the narrower waist and the front side character. The Enforcer is more of an all-mountain freeride ski whereas the Vantage is an all-mountain front side ski. As far as sizing, I do think you’ll outgrow the 169 fairly quickly as you are advancing and progressing. Hope that helps!

  3. Hello there!
    I am have been doing research and and down to the Enforcer 93 or Rossi Experience 94Ti. Im 46 yrs 6ft 270 pounds athletic. Advanced/Intermediate West Coast skier. Mostly Mammoth, Tahoe area. Enjoy groomers ocasionally follow my son off piste but Im getting older and it is becoming more and more difficult to chase him down. I am just on the fence between those two skis and what size. I currently have Rossignol Zenith Z5 from 2007 and its time to upgrade. Any of your professional input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    George

    1. Hi George!

      Our apologies for the delayed response to your inquiry. Both of those skis are great, but the Experience 94 Ti is a little stiffer. Because of that, I think it will support your size better than the Enforcer 93. I’m sure you’d have fun on the Enforcer 93 too, but in my opinion considering you’re a pretty big guy, the Experience 94 Ti is going to feel more stable and more confidence inspiring when you’re chasing your son around.

      Hope that helps!

  4. Really stuck between Enforcer 93 and Rustler 9. I’m 58, Advanced skier, love the entire mountain, but focused off piste and want to get better at trees and bumps. Didn’t grow up skiing, but now have a season pass to Telluride. I have Pinnacle 95, first gen, and current Gen Brahma. but the Brahmas can be a handful, and the Pinnacles don’t cut it when the snow is hard and they are pretty chattery at speed.
    I value quick turns, forgiveness, nimbleness in trees and bumps, but also the ability to go fast when I want to. (I know, I want it all.) Ideally I’d keep the Pinnacles for their float on power days, and this ski would be my daily driver.
    These two skis seem similar, but don’t now which to choose
    Also, length on the Enforcers? I’m 5’7″, 158 pounds, and I ain’t getting any younger.

    1. Hi Mark!
      The two main differences that I see between your options are: 1.) The Rustler has a turned up tail that makes it a bit more playful in the soft snow, and 2.) The Enforcer has two full sheets of metal whereas the Rustler has ~1 sheet. As a result, you’ll get better damping properties from the Enforcer, but you’ll also get a less quick reaction time. I was amazed at how the Rustler was able to go from groomers to fresh snow quickly and without hesitation. I was able to vary the turn shape and duration of the Rustler better than the Enforcer, but only by a small margin. If you’re going fast and charging hard, the Enforcer is a better choice, but if you’re a bit more reserved (do not read less-aggressive) and are looking for a bit more versatility and playfulness, the Rustler is an amazing ski. For size, I’d recommend the 169 E93 and the 172 Rustler. Hope that helps!
      SE

  5. fair balance. sits well on powder. Not enough luff and torque on the back quarter makes it bouncier on rock moguls. Sandwich composite flexibility ok perhaps missing one nanoceramic layer, since they miss momentum in high speed tight curves, taking a fraction longer to regain the shape compared to my Rossignol Soul 7 HDs, my personal ski choice for 2019. You gotta be very careful not to touch the slalom gates with the weak aft secction or they would inevitably break in two sending you airborne to Jupiter!

  6. Hello,
    I am 5’8″, 136 lbs., 55, athletic advanced skier. I mostly ski in Eastern Canada and visit Stowe (will go on first week of March) and other Vermont ski resorts periodically. I currently use 4 pairs of skis: Dynastar Speed Master SL, Dynastar Speed Zone 12, Nordica NRGY 90 and Dynastar Cham 97. I rarely use the Cham (only when there are huge snowfall like last Sunday). I mostly ski on the 2 Dynastar Speed on our typical icy and hard snow conditions. I use the NRGY 90 (size 169) in all other conditions (mixed snow, crud, trees, moguls, spring, etc.). I will need soon to replace the NRGY, now discontinued, as they are beginning to be worn out. I still want a ski to complement my 3 other pairs: fun, easy to turn, not too heavy for my height and weight but not sluggish, flexible, versatile, good in trees, etc. After reading many of your reviews, I narrowed it down to the 3 following models: Nordica Enforcer 93 (169), Salomon QST 92 (169) and Head Kore 93 (171). Which one of these (or another suggestion) would you recommend?

    1. Hi JP!
      Have you checked out the Nordica Navigator 90? That series replaced the NRGY line, so that would be your best direct comparison. But for the skis on your list, the Enforcer 93 is the strongest performer. The Kore is light and stiff, but not as stable as either of the Nordica skis. The QST is light and maneuverable, and great fun in soft snow, but again, not as stable as either the E93 or the Navigator 90. Between the Navigator and Enforcer, the Enforcer is more all-mountain, soft-snow oriented while the Navigator is an adept carver with a wider forebody. Have fun!

  7. Hey guys.

    Thanks for all the really great info on these skis.

    I’m having real trouble choosing between head kore 93 and Nordica Enforcer 93. I’m an advanced skier and like going fast on piste and then messing around in powder off piste. I’m 5 feet 11 and 74kgs.

    Any advice on which might be better suited to? I was slightly worried the head might struggle at top speed due to how light it is, but be great to know if you think that’s a consideration or not?

    Thanks!

    Rob

    1. Hi Rob!
      I think you’ll like the stability of the E93 more than the kore. The metal does make a difference, and you’ll like the versatility from hard to soft snow. Have fun!

  8. Hi there!
    Need a bit of advice either!
    I am a 43yo 172cm, 80kg snowboarder for rather long time already, enjoying freeride and rather agressive on-piste riding in Alps twice a year as well as enjoing rails in Latvian snowparks. So generally no idea which ski to choose…
    Now decided to move to skis for fun of learning and getting different feelings (mainly for off piste riding in alps, but hoping to have fun on small mountains and on piste as well), so I am looking for all round weapon (like Burton Custom board that I am having now) that I could use on piste/parks and small mountains but that could give me fun in January powder as well.
    From info, I have found in web, I a started looking at Head Core 93 (171cm), Nordica Enforcer 93 and alike all round skis.
    Would appreciate your advice on which skis to choose for my purposes!
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi Normunds!
      If you’re looking for an all-around ski, it’s hard to beat the Enforcer 93. While I wouldn’t put it in the park category in terms of a twin-tip ski, It’ll handle pretty much anything else you can throw at it. It’ll be a lot more stable at speed than the Kore, but also a bit heavier. In terms of sizing, I’d recommend the 169 unless you’re very aggressive, in which case you’d need the 177. Hope that helps!
      SE

      1. Thanks!

        Yes, I want all-round skis that will not be mostly used not on park, but on powder and on piste at Alps, so your thoughts are that 169 will be enough for me to hit the powder as well?

        I was stuck because Benny Wax is more similar to my complexion and he chose 177 length, and I have read that Justin Perry, which prefers aggressive freeride suggests to choose one size up… 😉

        Is there any other skis besides NE and Head Core 93 that I could consider, or those are the ones that I should choose from, as best?

        Thanks in advance!

      2. Hi Normunds!
        All the skis have their pluses and minuses, so it’s hard to say that those are the two best, but it sounds like either will work for you. In terms of length, our testers sometimes have to ski what they’re given as opposed to choosing a length simply due to inventory, so don’t necessarily take that to mean that Benny would choose the 177 over the 169 on purpose, it might just have worked out that way for that particular ski. Sounds to me like you’re a 169 Enforcer 93 type of skier to me! Have fun!
        SE

  9. Similar to the rest, a confused-consumer-all arounder-all-speed-looking-for-the-perfect-advanced skier. Thankfully among only 2 pairs. Those would be Rustler 9 & E93. After my thorough homework I can clearly tell the differences. My height 5’9” suggests 172 R9 and 169 E93. I plan on 180 R9, so as to reimburse for the missing stability of the 169E93 and hence the former its more maneuver-capable the extra length wont hurt much. Also Salomon shifts for a few touring days per year. Does this make any sense?

    1. Hi Billy!
      Yup, makes sense to me! I’m a huge Rustler 9 fan, especially for skiers who spend a fair amount of time in all-mountain conditions and terrain–they are highly versatile. The Enforcer will perform better on-trail and in hard snow, but you’ll get a good amount of stability for sure with the Rustler 9. Have fun!
      SE

      1. Didn’t mention anything about the touring option. Well, an issue that Blizzard didn’t even bother answering. Do you have a clue whats the difference between ENGINEERED in Austria (Rustlers) and HANDMADE in Austria (Bonafide)? My guess is that they build them elsewhere, just politically incorrect to announce it..

      2. Hi Billy!

        Yes, that’s what that means. The Rustler skis are made in Ukraine in a different factory. Still really good quality control out of that factory from everything we’ve seen (we’ve seen a lot of Rustlers 😉 )

  10. Hi

    I have a pair of liberty v76 172cm that I really like for carving on hard groomers.

    I was looking for something to compliment it when there is some fresh powder (mostly ski in the East so talking a few inches) or variable conditions or I want to spend more time in the trees / bumps.

    I am 49 yrs old, 6 ft and a little over 150lbs and am an advanced but not expert skier.

    Been thinking about Nordica Enforcer 93 in 169 or 177 as well as Rustler 9 and Head Kore 93

    Thoughts in skis / size or other options?

    Thanks!

    Doug

    1. Hi Doug!

      Gosh, those are three great skis. Depends how you want your second pair of skis to feel. Lighter and super quick on your feet? Go for the Kore 93. Smooth and stable? Go Enforcer 93 (it still smears and pivots really well in firm snow, just heavier and more stable. For something that gets a little bit of both worlds, go Rustler 9. Does that make sense? All three would compliment your Libertys well, just a question of which performance feel you most perfer. I think you’re on the right track for sizing. If you go Rustler 9 or Kore 93, go 180 cm.

      SE

      1. Hi Doug!
        Totally depends on your level of aggressiveness. If you’re skiing hard and fast, size up, but if you prefer to be a bit more mellow and make shorter turns, go with the 169. They’re pretty stable skis, so I wouldn’t worry too much if you went with the shorter size. Have fun!

  11. Hey guys, I am a 6’0″ 175lb, 31 year old athletic intermediate skier. I have only been skiing for about 5 years but generally do my skiing in Colorado/Canadian rockies. I spend a lot of time on groomed runs but have started to ski on more crud and powder. I am a fairly fast and aggressive skier and looking for an all mountain ski to suit me, as I am looking for something that can handle everything. I have been looking at the K2 Mindbender 90, Nordica Enforcer 93, and Head Kore 93. I am leaning towards the Nordica Enforcer 93, but wanted to hear your opinion, as I definitely need a new pair of skis. What ski would you guess fits me best and in what size, and what bindings do you recommend? Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi Bram!
      There’s a lot to like about the Enforcer 93, and we have an easy time recommending it as an all-mountain one-ski quiver. The Kore is a bit stiffer and bouncier while the Mindbender is a bit more on-trail oriented, but still a really fun ski. I’d go with the 185 Enforcer 93 and we pair it with either the Marker Griffon or the Tyrollia Attack 13 bindings. Hope that helps!

  12. Hi, Im 5’10 204lbs been skiing over 30yrs. my current skiis are : Nordica Firearrow, Head Monster88. and I like them both. So, Im looking for something newer. I am an aggressive skier and mostly LOVE to tip n rip big GS turns, and also enjoy the short radius quick turns as well.
    That said I am looking for a ski thats stable at speed, but out here in Calif. I have to deal with crud n slush as well. Ive been reading alot about the Bonafide, Brahma, Enforcer93 and Kore93. Your thoughts and recommendations ? Thanks !

    1. Hi Alan!
      If you’re keeping your current skis, I’d recommend going with the wider ones like the Bonafide or the Enforcer 100. If you’re looking to replace, the Enforcer 93 is probably the way to go. The Brahma will be a lot like your Monster, so if you like that shape and style ski, the Brahma is a fairly equal replacement. The Enforcer 93 is a step up in terms of all-mountain performance, but still rips the groomers. Hope that helps!

  13. I ski about 30 days per season in southern Vermont and I’m looking at the Enforcer 93, but was also considering the Rustler 9. I’m 39 years old, 6 ft. 3 inches, 230 lbs, and a high-intermediate skier. I go in the trees pretty much only when I have to follow my kids in there. Any preference between those two skis, and can you give me advice on the length? Thank you!!

    1. Hi Bob!
      If you’re on-trail more than off, the Enforcer is a stronger performer. I’d get the Rustler if I were more 50/50, but it sounds like you’re more of a reluctant woods skier. I think the 185 is the good length for you. Have fun!
      SE

  14. Hi,

    Thanks to your advice on another thread, I’ve decided to purchase the Enforcer 93s. I have a question about ski length. I’m deciding between 177cm and 185cm. I bit about me: I’m 52 years old, 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. I ski primarily in the East, but I take at least one trip per year to Utah/CO or to Europe. I’d grade myself as a low to mid-level expert skier and ski 70/30 on and off piste. I’m currently running Brahma 180s and find them to be really fun and stable at speed, but not very playful at low speed and, at least for me, a chore when I’m in the Eastern narrow glades or in the bumps. I’d like to new ski to be very stable at speed, but without sacrificing maneuverability in the woods. I’d also like it to be able to handle some soft snow days. As an aside, if I purchase skis and bindings from your site, can they be mounted if I provide my boot length? Or would it be better to have them mounted locally?

    Thanks,
    Craig

    1. Hi Craig!
      If you’re comfortable on the 180 Brahma, I think the 177 is the way to go. You’ll love the maneuverability, and I don’t think you’ll see a big dropoff with stability at speed. On our site, if you get the Killer Deal with the bindings and include a mm boot sole length (not the mondo point size) we’ll mount them for you for free. We don’t touch the DIN, so you do need to get a final adjustment at your local shop. Have fun!

  15. Hi Guys!
    I have been searching around for the best ski for me to buy, by the way thanks a lot for the great reviews it really helps, and currentley I’m mostly looking at the Enforcer 93 and Volkl M5 Mantra. I’m 190cm (6′ 2″) and weigh about 75 kg (165 lbs) and would say I am in the category of early advanced skier, mostly looking for a good carving experience but I want the ability to start exploring the entire mountain. Which ski would you recommend for me, I am open for suggestion outside the two alternatives I previously mentioned.

    Thanks!

    Martin

    1. Hi Martin!
      For a bit softer of an option, check out the Rossignol Experience 94–kind of like a Mantra-minus. A lot of skiers who felt like the Mantra was a tad too much probably would be better off on the Experience 94. The Mantra is a better choice for a wider carving ski while the Enforcer has more of a freeride mentality–more versatile and playful, but still carves a mean turn. If you’re looking for a true all-mountain ski, I’d recommend the Enforcer. Have fun!

  16. Hello,

    Thanks for the great reviews and thoughtfully answering peoples questions! I am 46 years old, 5’8″ and 155lbs upper level advanced skier. Been skiing an older pair of 170mm pretty narrow Atomics for years and got the Ikon pass this year. After skiing (been plenty of times) at Alta/Bird/Brighton this winter in the pow…and with the Ikon… time to upgrade my skis finally. Honestly even going to 85-88mm width will be significant for me and something like 93 is way wider than what I’m used to but I think I’ll need it. I need something pretty versatile since I like the trees, narrow trails, and prefer short turns at trails edge, I don’t really care about going Mach 5/speed but also need to be able to handle powder. That said I am a little afraid of the stiffness of the Enforcer 93 but maybe I am wrong. I have demoed some stiff skis in the past and have had to dump/switch them after 1 run at times just because they were too stiff for me (because of my size, and not able to make short turns). Any thoughts? I am interested in the Enforcer 93, Head Kore 93, Dynastar Legend 88, Rossi Experience 88, and Solomon QST. Thanks!

    1. Hi Kevin!
      Also check out the Enforcer 88–a new ski for 2020, just to add some more to your list! Overall, I think you are in the right ballpark in terms of width–I do not think 93 is too wide for an every day all-mountain ski. The Kore is stiff, but light, while the Enforcer, like you say, is on the stiff and heavy side, but is the highest performing ski on your list. The Salomon is a nice mix–no metal, but carbon and flax to do the damping. The Legend and the Experience are pretty similar, with the Dynastar on the stiffer side, but both strong performers. I’d say the QST is the most versatile and well-rounded on your list–I’d put some more thought/research into that model. I’d stick to the 170ish sizing for all models. Have fun!

  17. Hi, I’m a fairly aggressive, 6-0′, 195 lb, 69 yo, advanced skier. I ski mostly on the groomers in Calif, but like to play in light pow and in the crud on the edges. I go out of state once a year too. I usually get about 15 days a year in. I currently ski on a pair of the last year Mantras (177) before the M5’s came out. The ones with zero camber. I really like the Mantras. They seem to be pretty good at most everything. They love to do fast, big GS turns, which is a blast, but as I age, I’d like to slow down a bit, make a few more turns, and maybe cruise. But….I still want a stable, fast ski. Just turnier. I also occasionally bust out my older Rossi E88’s on hard snow days.

    I’m considering the E93, and Rustler 9, but am concerned about their holding ability on really hard snow. And, even though it seems really close to what I have already, I’m also considering the M5 in an effort to find one all mountain ski.
    Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Great reviews and site by the way.

    1. Hi Clemens!
      I found the M5 to be more accessible at different speeds than the previous versions, and since it’s a bit narrower, it really holds well on hard snow. The Enforcer 93 is no slouch, while the Rustler is a bit lighter and softer. I’d say it’s between the M5 and the Enforcer, with the Enforcer being a bit more freeride in it’s pedigree versus the more trail-oriented M5. I’d stick to the 177 in either model. Have fun!

  18. Hello! I really appreciate all of the information you guys provide! I’m trying to decide between the Nordica Enforcer 93 and Head Kore 93. I’m 5’9 and 150 lbs and a former racer. Mostly enjoy carving up groomers and moguls now but will occasionally go into the bowls looking for the soft stuff. I’ve demo’d the Head Kore 99 and the Volkl Mantra. I thought the Kore 99 was great, very light and nimble. The Mantra felt stable at high speed but somewhat heavy and lifeless. Would you recommend the Kore 93 or the Enforcer 93 and what length would you suggest? Thanks!

    1. HI David!
      Former racers should gravitate to the Enforcer due to the metal in the construction. The Head is just too much of a departure I think. Your stats and background put you in the 177 in that ski. Might be a bit of a handful in the bumps and tight trees, but stability galore! Have fun!

I am an energised 44yr old male (good shape, but muscle stamina and flex not quite what they were) 176cm (5ft9) & 74kg (164lb); an intermediate to intermediate advance skier (say a level 7). Been 4 years since I hit the slopes, so a bit out of touch on gear these days. Do mostly on piste, but also venture off piste (20%) once I hit my rhythm. Fortunate position where I will be skiing a lot – heading to New Zealand for the season – where I understand there is a lot of hard pack snow and ice. Thereafter, I will be heading to Europe for ’20/21 season.

    Am currently torn between the 2019 NORDICA ENFORCER 93 SKIS (169cm) and the 2019 ROSSIGNOL EXPERIENCE 88 TI SKIS (173com) – having read both your reviews- can you advise a preference / length? Advice on complementary bindings and boots would also be great! Hope I’m not asking too much. Cheers…:)

    1. HI Simon!
      The Enforcer will do it all while the Experience is more limited to piste skiing. So for NZ, the Rossi will be a slightly better choice, but for Europe, I’d go Enforcer all day. I think the 169 is the right length in that ski and we usually pair either of these skis with the Marker Griffon 13 or the Tyrolia Attack 13. For boots, you really have to put your foot in them to find out if it’s the right fit. I’d guess you’re looking for something in the 100-110 flex rating zone, and unless you’re touring, get a traditional alpine boot without a walk mode. Hope that helps, and take care!
