2024 Nordica Enforcer 104 Free

Stiff, wide, surfy, and incredibly fun, the 2024 Nordica Enforcer 104 Free is an excellent ski for today’s expert freeride skier. Ever since this ski first came out, we’ve been enamored with its potential as well as its execution. By taking all of the good things we’ve loved about the Enforcer 100’s shape and build, and adding to it in a playful and fun-loving manner, Nordica created what many skiers call the perfect ski. With an insane blend of smeariness, power, and overall composure, advanced and expert skiers will get all they can handle when they click into the 104 Free. It’s as sturdy and strong as it is fun and maneuverable, allowing skiers of multiple zones and applications the freedom to do as they wish out there on the hill. We’ve had friends and colleagues use this as both their western powder ski as well as an eastern daily driver. We’ve seen it used as a park ski for those who like the stability and heft, and we’ve noticed some of the highest levels of carving done on these skis on what appears to be full-on ice. There’s hardly a limitation to the ski—only the skier and their potential lack of skill or strength. It is, after all, on the demanding side of the spectrum, but it’s a good thing they released the Unlimited version of this ski as well, allowing those that aren’t quite ready for the Free to be able to experience most of what this shape and profile has to offer.
