Love this series you're doing (and this category of skis). Long list, but how does the Enforcer compare to the Bonafide 97, Ripstick 96, Declivity Ti and Mindbender 99Ti?

[@TheSkiMonster]

@ Matt Solar, Enforcer has two full sheets of metal and enough rocker in the tip/tail to make it more versatile than other skis in its class. Still holds up great on groomers but can be a blast off trail too. The Bonafide is similar but has less rocker in the tip/tail so it will be a bit less versatile off trail but grippier on the groomed stuff. Declivity 92 is similar to bonafide but quicker edge to edge, great edge hold. Mindbender is similar to Enforcer except its a little bit more work off trail. Ripstick is the lightest ski of the bunch so they won't feel as damp on ice or stable at speed but they have an effortless feel, are really quick, and carve really well considering how light they are.

I have both in a 100. Spot on review here. Mavericks are better if you have better snow or want tight maneuverability. Enforcers are better for worse snow and have a little more rebound energy when carving. A day on the Mavericks is much less strenuous.

Any Sender 94 ti comparison to like Kendo or Enforcer?

[@carterfan80]

Sender versus Mantra or Ranger?

[@TheSkiMonster]

@the1412, Sender 94ti vs Kendo: The kendo 88 is going to feel more powerful and precise. The kendo is a more demanding ski but definitely offers a quieter feel at higher speeds and loves to be up on edge. The Sender 94ti is more well rounded and can handle a wider variety of terrain but lacks the grip and power the kendo has. Go kendo if you like to arc turns and want a stable, powerful ski. Go Sender 94ti if you want a ski that is good on a groomer but can handle a trip through the trees and is comfortable in softer snow.

Enforcer is a more maneuverable ski than the kendo but still more one dimensional than the Sender 94ti. Enforcer loves to be on groomers but pivots easier and is easier at lower speeds compared to the Kendo if you wanted to take it through some tighter terrain or found yourself in softer snow. Go enforcer over kendo if you want an easier to balance on option that still arcs a mean turn on groomers.

@carterfan80, The Mantra is going to be the most powerful and least maneuverable of the bunch in this comparison. Mantra loves to rip groomers at high speeds and can handle a trip through the trees, but home is a groomer. The Ranger is a more well rounded ski, offering solid performance on hardpack while maintaining an awesome level of maneuverability in tighter terrain. The ranger is a stable, confident ski that is comfortable on and off piste and is more accessible than the Mantra at lower speeds. The Sender 94ti is closer to the ranger than the mantra. The sender just lacks the performance the ranger can offer on firm snow. Of this bunch the Sender prefers softer snow. It can more than hang on a groomer but it carves the least exciting turn of this group. Sender 94ti is as easy in the trees as the ranger but it doesnt offer the same snap and energy the ranger has. Go mantra if you want a stable, powerful ski that can dominate a groomer. Go Ranger if you want a ski that can definitely arc a mean turn on groomers, is easier to balance on, and is a blast in tighter terrain. Go Sender 94ti if you want a ski that likes softer snow, can hang on a groomer and is easy enough in the trees.

@The Ski Monster thx. I was trying to distinguish if the ranger or rossi was better on firmer snow. You answered it! Thx!!

Hi. Which ski is better for pow between these 2 models? Thank you

[@TheSkiMonster]

@MC, The Maverick is a little bit lighter and more maneuverable so you are less likely to get tired as the day goes on. Also the Mav is easier to release the tails. The Enforcer shape and rocker profile will allow it to float pretty well, but with two sheets of metal they are heavier and more powerful feeling.
