On the day that I demo’d the Nordica Enforcer 94 I also checked out the Line Blade Optic 96, Blizzard Rustler 9 and K2 Mindbender 89ti. The conditions were firm and setup for great carving. Probably a better comparison would have been the Volkl Mantra M6 as the Enforcer 94 was by far the most stable ski and held an edge all the way through the turn.
