  • 2027 Nordica Enforcer 104

    SkiTalk Test Team · 8 Sept 2026 · 179 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    Nordica updates the Enforcer 104 with subtle tweaks, including a slightly reshaped tip, reduced tail rocker, and a smoother flex while dropping the Free designation. The ski remains remarkably stiff, strong, and demanding, catering to aggressive skiers who want powerful performance and enhanced edge hold rather than a loose freeride personality.

    “better edge grip, rounder flex, and still a whole lot of horsepower” (SkiTalk Test Team)

    2027 Nordica Enforcer 104 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 179 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    The Nordica Enforcer 104 remains structurally unchanged aside from fresh topsheet graphics. Featuring two sheets of metal and dense wood, it offers exceptional dampness, power, and high-speed stability. It punches through crud with confidence and carves cleanly across the fall line. However, its substantial weight and stiff flex make it demanding and less forgiving for relaxed skiing, requiring strength and aggressive technique to unlock its best qualities.

    Why this one: Tester weight not stated.

    2027 Blizzard Rustler 10 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 174 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    The Blizzard Rustler 10 is reviewed as a carryover model featuring a TrueBlend wood core and FluxForm metal laminate. It offers an energetic and balanced flex suitable for mixed snow, variable terrain, and soft days. The ski balances strong on-trail carving edge hold with floatation and maneuverability in trees and bumps thanks to prominent tip and tail splay.

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    Testers evaluate the revamped Blizzard Rustler 10 at Mammoth Mountain. The updated design features a modified titanal frame and more tail rocker, resulting in a surfy, playful ride that slashes with ease while inspiring confidence on varied terrain. It provides dependable edge hold and fast stability thanks to underfoot metal, while navigating chop smoothly across the mountain.

    “Now surfier than ever with a feel that makes you want to slash” (SkiTalk Test Team)
