We understand why other ski tests awarded top honors to the Enforcer: if the skier is strong enough, it’s a love affair waiting to happen. Our most powerful skiers would also place the Enforcer among the best in show, so we’ve included it among our Recommended models so skiers who fit its profile can find it at America’s finest shops.

Because of their Pipe & Park heritage, twin-tipped skis are expected to be bantamweight smear-sticks with the on-edge accuracy of a spatula.  The Enforcer demonstrates that a designer can add a turned-up tail to any sort of ski, including an All-Mountain model with the bomb-shelter construction of the Enforcer.

A powerhouse that is most adept at crushing crud flat, the Enforcer can show some serious carving chops when compelled.  As the good doctor Gleason from Telluride’s The Boot Doctors declaimed, “Remarkably precise; slight pressure variance results in a spectrum of turn shapes.  The gentle tail shape allows smear and needed forgiveness in demanding places, yet the hold and crispness is at the top of the pack.”

The stronger the skier, and the more he has to ski manky conditions (think pro ski patrol), the greater the Enforcer’s appeal.  It likes speed and expects its pilot to bring some pressure to the party.  Under the command of a powerful skier, it performs in the most challenging conditions as well as any ski in the very competitive All-Mountain West category.
