2025 Nordica Enforcer 94

With a whole slew of new Enforcers out for 2025, the Enforcer 94 represents one of the middle-ground options for advanced and expert skiers who want to ski all-mountain conditions and terrain with no reservations. We could talk all day about which new Enforcer is the most versatile, but I’d still make a strong case for the 94 as the one to have if you can only have one, especially if you ski in a lower snow area. The increased tail rocker profile combined with the new construction makes for an obscenely quick and energetic ski on-piste while the power and stability allow it to rock the crud and chop with no issues at all. This is still a beefy ski with excellent edge grip and high-quality performance. The previous version of this ski also had the same mentality—any turn, any time, any condition, and this carries forward into 2025 with a slightly peppier feel.

All Enforcer skis use a blend of poplar and beech in their multi-layer wood core. This gets a bit of a boost for 2025 as Nordica is using a different wood supplier that seems to work just fine. Whether it’s the new wood or not, the skis just feel like they have more zest and life to them. We still get two full layers of titanal, but the new layups are 2 mm thinner than before on each side, leading to a more central format. This gives a bit more energy to the sides and slightly lowers swing weight. Underfoot, Nordica uses their pulse core technology that is found in other skis like Spitfire and Steadfast. This elastomer layer keeps it quiet and stable underfoot and provides additional damping and confidence. Tester Chris McClelland states that “This felt like how I wished the old 94 felt. I didn't feel locked into making carved turns and actually felt like I could take this ski into some bumps and woods without needing to fight the ski. Huge improvement in terms of user versatility and comfort.” This increase in performance and energy is a common theme among our testers.

While the waist width remains the same, we do see a slight change in dimensions and profile. There’s some more tail rocker to this ski, making it smoother in the release phase of the turn and adding some interesting versatility in softer snow. Due to the increased rocker, Nordica moved the mount point forward 1 cm to find the camber height. This gives the ski cleaner initiation and a strong tail. Overall, this makes the ski feel quicker and more agile in a variety of turn shapes and styles. Danny Satterthwaite notes that he “Very much feel the updates. The tail is quicker to release than previous gen and much easier to release than the Blizzard Anomaly 94. Because of this, it feels more playful (but still not particularly playful) and forgiving than both the previous gen and Anomaly 94.”

Even though the new Enforcer 94 gets a quicker and livelier feel, it’s still a very rugged ski. There’s a lot to like here from a carving and energetic perspective, and then there’s the versatility, which is frankly off the charts. You can ski this in bumps, trees, powder, crud, chop, windblown, etc. The options are limitless, and that’s what makes the Enforcer 94 such a formidable ski in the mid-90's range. It’s not the best for an intermediate—there’s some weight and stiffness to contend with, but for advanced and expert skiers who are looking for a strong, powerful, and well-rounded all-mountain option, it’s tough not to include this one on any list.
