Nordica Men's Enforcer Flat Skis:
When you consider buying a ski with a 98-millimeter waist, you probably don't think about skiing on hard snow. Skidding yes, but not exactly skiing. That's what makes Nordica's Enforcer stand apart from a lot of other wide-width twins out there on the market right now. It's not made to carve, but Nordica gave the Enforcer enough of a sidecut that you can make predictable transitions from edge to edge on hard groomed snow. That said, this ski still performs best in deep powder snow. Nordica designed the Enforcer and other twin-tip skis in their 2010 freeride collection for surfing in deep snow. It features a lightweight wood core reinforced with two-ply titanium laminates for easy floatation, although some skiers might not like the slight chatter at higher speeds on hardpack snow. One important note: In previous skiing magazine reviews the feedback on some of Nordica's skis varied depending on which ski lengths the testers and editors tested, so keep length in mind and match the appropriate sized Enforcer to your skiing preferences. In case you need specific data, we included the turn radius data for all sizes because of the significant differences in characteristics.
