Hello, I am 40 years old, 175cm and 56kg I ski on groomers, I like control, I am not interested in speeding a lot. I am a pretty good advanced skier, looking for head e-v10. Do you think I should choose skis of 163cm or 170cm ? Cordially

I bought an Enforcer 104 free in 2022 and thought i was literally the perfect ski for me. Decent in powder and carved unbelievably well, especially at high speeds (which is exactly what I like to do). I also didn't mind their robust and heavy nature, which really surprised me coming from a super light and flexible park ski (Armada Edollo). Not even while jumping I did I find the weight annoying and I really appreciated how smoothly it coule navigate any terrain. Sadly the edge of one of my Enforcers started to get loose and I'm scared that at some point this may result in a huge crash so I'm going to buy a new pair of skis in the upcoming days. Now my question is, how does the unleashed 108 2025 compare the Enforcer 104 free of 2022? If the 2022 104 free was the perfect ski for me and I want to replace it with something as similar as possible, do I go for the Unleashed 108? Or would you recommend the new Enforcer 104, an older pair of Enforcer 104 frees (they still existed last year right?) or any other ski that is a twin tip and applicable as an all mountain full send ski that carves and rides powder well? If anything I'd want something a bit more playful and light rather than even more robust and directional. Doesn't have to be Nordica of course, I remember also heavily considering the Fischer Ranger FR as a more playful option back in 2022, but those also no longer exist I think. I mounted my old Enforcers with a Marker Griffon, a tiny but furhter forward then recommended btw and I'm 1,90 m at 83 kg, expert level skier. I know this comment is a handful, but I just wish my perfect babies never broke 😭😭

For a woman, 182cm intermediate/advanced recreational skier, 70kg, would you go for the 173 or 178?
@SkiEssentialsСағат бұрын
I'd go 173 to take advantage of the crisp-turning nature of this ski. While you could go 178, it would feel more like a GS ski, whereas the AX likes more of a mid-radius.

Thanks for the video! I’m looking for a replacement for my Head Venturi 95 in 191 cm length (I think the ski is about 10 years old and not very well known). I’d like a ski that I can primarily use for carving on the piste, with some off-piste powder and very occasional ski touring. Do you think the Enforcer 99 with, for example, a Shift binding could be a good all-rounder for me? I’m 191 cm tall, weigh 90 kg, and have been skiing for 25 years.

@SkiEssentialsСағат бұрын
I'd say the M-Pro 85 has a bit higher of a ceiling while the Kanjo is slightly easier to use and more manageable. Personally, I like the Dynastar, but with similar pricing and application, it's a toss up.

I think the 110 is more specific of a soft snow toy and a playful option while the 102 has more all-mountain versatility. I bet the 102 will suit your needs better than the 110.

How does this compare to the Kore 105. I owned the kore, the weight was great. I got along with it pretty well off trail. But on trail I had trouble making it bend. (5'5" 160 lbs)I had to have the right combination of speed and concentration to really get the ski to bend. I wasn't crazy about how it performed on the groomers. Studio better on trail? More flexible? I ran the numbers through soothe ski. The studio is only a little bit less stiff. Just wondering if it skis that way, or if the numbers are deceiving. I did not like the BC justice. Too heavy and cumbersome. I'm afraid this will be similar, although this is definitely lighter.

Sizing question. I'm 165 cm. Strong skier ( physically strong, advanced technique...not expert) stuck bw 168 and 175 (ski actually measures 174) i love my blaze 94 in 172cm. Mpro 90 and kore 105 were fine at 170cm. Atris 172 was fine for me. M free 99nin 171 was great. Arvs and playmakers were fine at 180 cm. But i generally like 166 to 170 as my sweet spot. Zx would be my soft snow/ western ski. Is 175 cm too long? It would be the longest I've ever owned. The tail is fairly flat. ive owned many Kastles. They have a business like reputation. I don't want to get myself into too much ski. Soft snow skis should be fun! Not work. I love trees skiing. I would have my blaze 94 to fall back on, but I really want this to be my soft snow ski for the East Coast and West Coast all around

Hey! Appreciate the depth of your reviews. I’ve found them super helpful narrowing down skis. I just wanted to ask about this skis weight. You weigh it at 2113g and Blister weigh last years at 2068/2178g. Everywhere else I’ve found online states the manufacturer weight of 1980g. Wondering why this is and what I should expect the ski to weigh? I’m looking for a daily driver for Whistler and I’m looking for a somewhat forgiving directional ski that has some weight to it. I’d be less interested in the ski at sub 2000g. Would be interested to hear how stability compares to the Mfree 108

If this was paired with a Shift binding would it be a reasonable "occasional touring" ski or do you think this is too heavy? Any other alternatives to good all arounders for the East Coast that would also be reasonable to tour with ?

Living north of the 45th parallel in the Eastern Townships. After reading all your reviews and battling with myself for a while, I finally decided on the 2024 with Shift 2. It will be my second ski for those “feeling lazy” days and the occasional side-slope ascension. It’ll sit alongside my T-Bird 15 WB, which, at 56, I’ll probably have to tone down in a few years. That said, I’m just an average skier who started late, at 47, to spend more time with my active young daughter. Toujours intéressant de vous suivre, les gars. You probably have the best reviews and the most sensible and flexible advice on the web.

Hey there! I have a pair of wide skis for powder days, and I was looking to get a pair for groomed slopes/icy days. I demoed these ones last year and loved them, but the only problem is that they were useless in the park. I am not a freestyle pro but I just started doing 360s and rails and I had trouble with these (obviously). Would you be able to recommend something that performs close to these ones on piste but also are decent in the park?

Love the Rustler 10! I did, however, have more in common with the Declivity in that 102 range as it has more pep and energy. I also like the flatter overall profile more than the dramatic splay in the tips and tails of the Rustler as it delivers more smoothness and predictability in softer snow.
