2025 Blizzard Anomaly 94 and Nordica Enforcer 94 On Snow Review and Comparison

Usually when we’re asked to compare two or more skis, there’s generally some pretty specific distinctions we can point to. When we get into skis like the 2025 Blizzard Anomaly 94 and the 2025 Nordica Enforcer 94, we run into fewer differences to discuss. This on-snow comparison found us really getting into some fine and minute differences, and to be honest, it was a lot of fun. Basically, we’re taking two of the top contenders in the mid-90's all-mountain category and putting them to the test in a very controlled manner. With similar lengths, snow conditions, terrain choices, and weather all factoring in, we generally found that if you’ve narrowed it down to these two as a part of a larger choice, you’re going to be quite happy with either. Or both for that matter!

Both skis are new for 2025 in terms of construction, shape, and profile. The Nordica gets a stiffer and thicker wood core, modified camber profiles which result in a 1cm forward mount point than before, and no carbon in the glass. The two sheets of metal are narrowed by 2mm on each side but still count as full layers for sure. We’d mainly agree that the Enforcer is the more freeride-oriented ski of the two while the Anomaly leans more to the directional side with more shovel and less tail. Anomaly gets a bigger makeover, especially from the Bonafide that it replaces. That ski was 97 mm underfoot while this new one narrows it down to 94 for more on-trail and all-mountain carving character. Blizzard uses a different layering process in this ski, with a full sheet of metal on the bottom of the core, and another full one on top, although the upper layer is divided into three sections. Blizzard uses two strips along the edges with the remaining 50% or so of that layer along the central chord of the ski. This central metal aligns with the denser ash wood that’s found in the central stringers of their TrueBlend wood core. As a result, the new Anomaly is a bit lighter and more flexible than the Bonafide of the past as well as the comparative Enforcer 94. Measured weights of 2024 g in the Anomaly and 2078 g in the Enforcer are basically identical. With the more forward mount in the Enforcer, that ski feels a bit lighter due to the increased balance and relatively decreased swing weight.

The shapes of the skis are pretty darn similar as well, with the Anomaly registering a 132/93/114 mm cut at the 176 while the Enforcer has 128/93/116 mm stats. This puts the turn radius in a dead heat at 17.8-meters for the Anomaly and 17.4 for the Enforcer. Each of us felt that the shape of the Anomaly was more front-side oriented, not to say that it out-carves the Enforcer, but that with the shorter tail and lack of freeride taper, the Anomaly was designed with more of a groomer nature in mind. The Enforcer has longer rocker as well as higher camber, but the Anomaly has more abrupt splay, something we’ve seen on the Rustler series these past few years and have noticed that creep into all Anomaly skis for 2025, making them very engaging and easy to initiate.

On snow, it’s very interesting to see these minute differences come to life. On groomers, the stiffer Enforcer certainly likes to take a direct line across the fall line and really dig in. We noticed this when we first got on these skis last year and that has not diminished in the past 12 months. It’s impressive how they can bring this freeride pedigree into such an incredible carving ski. The slightly more central mount point does make the ski want to be skied more in the middle while the Anomaly has more of a traditional feel, with pressure starting more in the shovel and then transitioning through the tail. This makes the Anomaly slightly more interested in fall-line turns of varying length and style while the Enforcer is more of a side-to-side ski. You can certainly shorten it up with the Enforcer, but it’s not quite as natural of a feeling and not quite as smooth in the transitions as the Blizzard. The Enforcer skidded turns are easier to come by, as that’s part of that freeride DNA while the Anomaly wants to make them shorter, slalom-like carves. We found this to be an interesting benefit for the Enforcer in moguls and tighter, more technical spots since the Anomaly really felt like it always wanted to make a clean carve and wasn’t as amenable to skidding, smearing, or sliding like the (slightly) driftier Enforcer. When it comes to tigher spots, and we have a lot of those here in Vermont, the Enforcer just felt more at home and more versatile. The groomers felt a bit different, with the Anomaly holding that classic carver in a more composed manner. The Enforcer is just a more aggressive carver while the Anomaly feels more fluid. We didn’t find a huge difference in the top end of the two skis, but the slight edge in heft and stiffness does make the Enforcer a bit higher up on the food chain. The more flexible Anomaly is still right there, and we pushed the thing pretty hard, but the Enforcer does seem like it can stand up to more rigorous use while the Anomaly feel smoother and more eager to please in a groomed and carving format. Off-trail, the Enforcer does seem to add more versatility to the equation, especially from a freeride and creative approach.

If smooth, strong slalom style carves sound like your cup of tea, go for the 2025 Blizzard Anomaly 94 (left). Otherwise, if the ability to make a variety of turn shapes, including smeary freeride turns, sounds better to you, opt for the 2025 Nordica Enforcer 94 (right).

In general, we had an absolute blast on both skis. The one thing we’d like to come back to is the longer lengths in both skis. We’d love to get the 185 in the Enforcer up against the 182 in the Anomaly, and we (Matt and Bob) would also be interested in finding out about the 188 and how fast that ski wants to go. Surely the 191 is a big stick, and maybe not a lot of real-world application, but of course, it’d be fun to ski. Overall, these two skis are ideally suited for strong advanced and expert skiers who are looking for a pure all-mountain ski that mixes on and off trail characteristics. Again, if you’ve made it this far in your ski search to narrow it down to these two, you’re going to be stoked no matter what. Length choice may be the final straw. If you’re a 182 skier, get the Anomaly. If you know you prefer a 179, get the Enforcer. Being able to get out on these skis and put them to the test was an absolute blast, and it’s incredibly difficult to find even slight differences, much less large ones. As opposed to a comparison, it’s more fun to view this as a celebration of both skis, as they’re certainly two of the best out there at performing strongly in pure all-mountain conditions and terrain.
