Nordica Enforcer 104 Skis 26/27

The Nordica Enforcer 104 is an all-mountain ski, 104mm underfoot, built for soft snow and crud rather than hardpack, for advanced-to-expert skiers who drive the ski hard. It is the widest ski in Nordica's men's Enforcer line, running the same two sheets of Titanal as the narrower 94 and 99, but on a wider platform with a flatter, redesigned tail tuned to float and drift instead of change edges quickest.

Nordica builds it as Energy 2 Ti Pulse Core: two full sheets of Titanal over a poplar-and-beech Performance Wood core, with an elastomer Pulse Core set between the metal layers to soak up chatter and a True Tip that swaps heavy ABS for tapered wood core in the shovel to trim swing weight. The two sheets of metal are what make it ride quiet and planted as the snow breaks up, and most of why it weighs what it does, roughly 2.0 kg per ski near the 179. The flatter, less-splayed semi-twin tail from the 2024/25 redesign lets a ski this heavy still pivot, smear and drift once the snow goes soft.

It is the soft-snow member of Nordica's men's Enforcer range: the narrower 94 and 99 change edges faster and carve sharper on firm snow, while the 104 floats better and stays composed in chop, crud and spring slush. At 104mm it floats well in soft snow and still carves hard for its width, but the heavy build fights the float in bottomless powder, so this is a soft-snow all-mountain ski rather than a deep-powder specialist. It is built for advanced-to-expert drivers, not for beginners or cruising intermediates, and not for anyone wanting a light ski for long tours or all-day bumps. Our full review breaks down how it skis, how it compares to the 94, 99 and the women's Santa Ana 102, and who should look at those instead.

The Enforcer 104 comes in five lengths from 167 to 191 cm. It is sold flat, so a binding is a separate purchase; we mount it and help you set the right length and size in-shop.
