The abrupt curvature of the tip rocker on the Enforcer 93 creates the impression of a ski dedicated to off-trail forays into untamed snow conditions, but it’s the pronounced camber behind the shovel that gives this ski its power and grip wherever you send it. Because of its elongated camber zone the Enforcer 93 feels like at home on hard snow, yet its sharply rockered tip and early rise tail are meant to smooth over the irregularities of ungroomed snow. While double-rockered baselines are commonplace in the All-Mountain East genre, Nordica’s particular formula finds just the right balance between on-trail and off-trail requirements.
Rossignol completely overhauled its cornerstone Experience series for 2019, in the process slightly shifting the series’ emphasis from on-trail to off-piste. The new Experience series has a more unified construction story across the top three models, so the Experience 88 Ti now uses the same construction as the top of the line E 94 Ti. The most obvious – and influential – changes to the new generation E 88 are in the tip design and the introduction of Line Control Technology (LCT) to improve ski/snow contact. These new features contribute to a ride that adapts well to changing terrain and is tolerant of all turn shapes, from the slow, short turns favored by more conservative skiers to the hair-on-fire, fall-line charges of the unleashed expert.
