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.
