Enforcer 94
Nordica
The Nordica Enforcer 94 is the benchmark for aggressive advanced and expert skiers who demand unflinching high-speed stability, powerful edge hold, and a damp, grounded ride. It is built to dominate firm resort groomers, blast through afternoon crud, and stay totally composed regardless of how rough the surface gets. Nordica constructs the Enforcer 94 with a dense wood core sandwiched between two full sheets of Titanal, along with carbon reinforcements. Measuring 127.5-94-115.5mm in the 179cm length, this chassis possesses immense torsional stiffness. When laid on edge, the ski locks into the turn radius with exceptional bite, effortlessly smoothing out frozen ruts, ice patches, and variable crust with virtually zero tip vibration. The cost of that legendary stability is weight and rigidity. The Enforcer 94 is a heavy, physically demanding board that punishes defensive or tired skiers. Slurring turns in tight, technical tree lines or through steep, sharp bumps requires immense leg strength and constant forward pressure. For casual cruisers or lighter intermediates, this ski will quickly feel like more work than fun. **Highlights** - Dual sheets of full-width Titanal for maximum damping - Benchmark edge grip on hardpack, ice, and high-speed carving lines - Cuts through heavy, tracked-out crud without deflection - Robust, durable construction built for heavy resort use - Versatile 94mm waist width supports all-season resort skiing **Watch-outs** - Heavy physical swing weight tires legs in tight trees and moguls - Unforgiving of hesitant, back-seat skiing technique

Bent 90
Atomic
The Atomic Bent 90 is aimed at playful intermediates, freestyle enthusiasts, and all-mountain skiers who view the entire mountain as a natural terrain park. With its twin-tip geometry and light swing weight, it is suited for skiers who prioritize popping off side hits, skiing switch, and sliding rails over aggressive, high-speed carving. Featuring a Light Woodcore paired with Atomic’s Resist Edge for durability on park features, the Bent 90 handles with exceptional nimbleness. Its dimensions (119-90-109mm in the 175cm length) combined with HRZN Tech tip and tail rocker provide a smeary, surfy personality. It pivots on a dime in tight spaces, releases turns effortlessly, and feels almost weightless in the air, making it one of the most playful platforms on the mountain. The trade-off is an undeniable lack of top-end stability and edge bite. Without metal reinforcement and featuring a softer tip flex, the Bent 90 chatters noticeably on firm morning ice and tends to get deflected when charging through heavy, frozen chop. It is an exceptional tool for creative, low-to-medium-speed resort exploration, but not for traditional directional carving. **Highlights** - Twin-tip profile with HRZN Tech for smeary, creative skiing - Low swing weight makes spinning and pivot turns effortless - Highly accessible flex profile tailored for park and side-hit riding - Reinforced Resist Edge adds durability for rails and natural obstacles - Budget-friendly price point for versatile resort use **Watch-outs** - Lacks edge hold and torsional bite on icy, hardpack snow - Tips chatter and deflect when driven fast through frozen crud
