It requires all of twenty feet of travel to realize the Enforcer Pro takes its name seriously. You may be out on the slopes for pleasure, but the Enforcer Pro is all business. It arrives ready to roll and attend to the first agenda item, getting up to speed. Once it hits about 30mph it spreads its wings and puts its momentum to work, leaning into medium to long arcs as if it owned them.
One peek at the baseline of the Nordica Enforcer 93 tells you all you need to know about the ski’s terrain preferences: this is an off-piste utensil with an elevated snout that on hardpack looks like it could be sniffing for snow. If fed its preferred diet of crud, the shovel gets busy absorbing the sudden impacts of broken snow, more than making up for its uninvolvement on the groom. It more than holds it own on hardpack, popping off its cambered midsection as if it can’t wait to get to the next turn.
The Navigator 90 borrows the Enforcer tip radius, but substantially shortens the distance from the widest point in the shovel to the forward contact point. In other words, the Navigator is designed to stay more connected to the snow, improving its Frontside performance. Both models are cambered underfoot, but the Navigator uses a square tail that’s turned up only at the very end. This creates a more solid and responsive platform along the full length of the ski.
