Best All-Mountain Skis of 2026-2027 (Staff top picks) (Nordica Enforcer 99)
Powder7 · 14 Oct 2026
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
Featuring dual sheets of titanal and tweaked tip and tail splay, the Enforcer 99 (and sister ski Santa Ana) maintains its reputation as a damp, powerful bulldozer. The revised rocker makes it easier to navigate bumps and tighter turns without compromising its exceptional crud-busting stability.

2027 Nordica Enforcer 99 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review
SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 179 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
The 2027 Nordica Enforcer 99 retains its shape and build while receiving updated topsheet graphics. It provides outstanding stability and confident edge hold when carved hard, while the revised tail rocker makes it easier to exit turns and navigate off-piste terrain. Because of its heavier, stiff construction featuring two layers of metal, it strongly favors advanced and expert skiers with an aggressive approach.
Why this one: Tester weight not stated.

Best All-Mountain Skis of 2026-2027 (Staff top picks) (Völkl M7 Mantra)
Powder7 · 14 Oct 2026
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
In its seventh generation, the M7 Mantra refines its tailored titanal frame with a lower center of gravity and low camber profile. It delivers a glued-to-the-snow, damp ride that plows through chop with unflinching confidence, remaining slightly more accessible to initiate than its predecessor.

Bob St.Pierre · 8 July 2024
The updated Volkl M7 Mantra refines the franchise with a new 4 Radius Drive sidecut and an articulated carbon tip. It excels on firm groomers with relentless grip, precision, and damp high-speed composure. Defying variable chop, it demands intentional driver input in tighter off-piste terrain and powder, remaining a stout, charge-oriented tool best suited for expert and advanced skiers.
“When the snow gets cut, chopped, chunked, or crudded, the M7 is unphased.” (Bob St.Pierre)
