I knew it...I want! I was considering the E99 and probably would have gone with the 191 in that at 6' and 215 lbs. With the E104, I will go with the 185 as that works perfect with my trending to downsize in the charger ski category. Won't be this year but my next ski for sure. There is something about the way enforcer's hook up that makes me giggle. I have the E110 and like, cept it's a twin. Demod the E100 and it clicked immediatly. I would have never bought the old E104 because of the full twin. No version looks just right.

Agree with Bandits descriptions of the new Enforcer 104 and 99. Agree that many would like the bit quicker edge to edge 99 as a daily driver or if you have some 105mm plus skis above that. But if not, the E104 would make a great soft snow/smaller powder for many especially in the East. E104 would be a great Spring/crud ski too.

Saw Corbetts now has stock again of the E104 and many others and they will be going on heavy discount by mid March so jump on if you want a great deal!

Available now at around $500. Mine arrived today from Billings, ahem. The 104 weighs in at 2165 g at 179. 177.5 straight pull.

Love the feedback. I am less tempted to irresponsibly go and by the E104 in addition to the E99. Honestly, I've been incredibly happy with the E99 in a variety of conditions at Stevens Pass anyways. It'll def be a no brainer travel ski. Taking it up to Whistler to really test it in several weeks (really hope the snow forecasts start to favor the PNW and BC...).

Anyone able to compare Enforcer 110 to new Rustler 10? I know its not a exact comparison but looking for something a little more nimble in trees.
Ive had 2 pairs of E110 in 191 and never found them hard to ski, in fact I find them easier than a lot of my other skis but Im in Fernie for a month and looking for something a bit easier in the trees and tighter spots. I use my E110 at lake Louise and Sunshine where there is a lot more room to open it up and blast through everything.

I owned the 191 Enforcer 110 and now own the current 186 Rustler 10. The Rustler could be a solid candidate for what you are after. The Rustler 10 is a lot lighter and feels like less ski than the longest E110. The R10 is great on firm snow and holds an edge well, but also has a lower speed limit and is far less damp than the E110. The R10 is great in tight spots and floats quite well for its 104-mm waist. The longer 192 R10 likely feels a bit more stout, but I'm pretty happy with the 186 for my needs. FWIW, the rocker profile on the R10 is very close to that of the Enforcer Free skis (104 and 110).

Thanks, just the info I was looking for and I figured you would be the guy to answer.
I still have my E110 and a E99 but lately I have been using my Anomoly 88 a lot more for more conditions. Im probably going to sell my 99, I think the Anomoly 88 is a super versatile ski, I thought the 99 wa sthe be all end all ski but have changed my mind. On really steep hard pack I find the shovels a little vague, the 110 is more planted, but that is probably my technique.
Going to pick up the Rustlers tomorrow, really dont care for next years graphic, looks very Nordica.

Interesting to hear the feedback on the E99. I still feel the E99 is a damn good ski, albeit mostly for a 1-ski quiver. With lackluster conditions in the PNW (Stevens Pass specifically) Ive found myself wanting something narrower with more bite for hard pack, crusty off piste and groomers i.e. Enforcer 89, Anomoly 88, Commander 92, etc. Id rather have that and a 108-102 width ski for in a 2-ski quiver. Almost want to snag the Enforcer 89 or Anomoly 88 and, due to my local shop having 2 in stock, the Enforcer 110 Free. Will probably be posting my Enforcer 99 in 179 length soon as well.
Speaking of the narrower skis, does anyone have some more time on the Enforcer 89? Its obviously going to be great on piste, but I am curious how it does in some icy, hard pack off piste conditions (chutes, bumps, etc.). I would also love to know how it compares to others in the category such as the Anomoly 88 and Commander 92.

When I got my E99 last year right after the release I thought they were the ultimate 1 ski for here in Alberta. Now, because Im so OCD on the next best thing I am convinced they are not to the point Im selling them.
I had Brahma 88 which again I thought were great until i had access to a pair of Anomoly 88 last spring. I now have the A88 which for my style of skiing (old racer) is my new love. Way more of a all around ski and if we are honest suits the conditions we see (here in Alberta)most of the time. Skied them today at Kimberly BC in 6 inches of creamy powder and trees at top then transitioned on to shitty manmade ice with no hiccup.
I still love my enforcer 110 191 cm, feels way more manouverible than it should for its width and length, best ski ever for high speed charging through garbage snow, great in moguls considering its size, but now with my age (65) a bit tiring by the end of the day.
I will still choose (for now) my Anomoly 88 for most conditions but since luckily I can afford it I will try the Rustler 10 for the conditions here at Fernie and break out the 110 for springblasting at Sunshine and Louise.
Im going to try a 3 ski quiver Anomoly 88,for most conditions Rustler 10 for B.C. trees and powder and Enforcer 110 for high speed crud and slush at Sunshine and Louise
I have changed my opinion, only 1 ski? Anomoly 88, fantastic ski.
Yes I can drive a nail with a screwdriver but why wouldnt a use a hammer? I know, random but my answer to my son who thinks he only needs one ski, a Rustler 11.

Tony911-I would be swapping out the E99 for a 185cm E104. Would give you more ease in the trees with more tail splay and rocker than the E99 but would also improve stability, crud performance and damping. The Rustler 10 has more rocker and tail splay than the E104 but lacks its mass and torsional rigidity. So slight edge in the trees on the Rustler 10 but everything else the E104 would surpass it.
Have the Anomoly 88 for hard snow/no new snow, the E104 for trees, Spring Skiing, killing afternoon crud and maybe a bit of new snow and the Enforcer 110 for powder days. Ski at Lake Louise(here now), Sunshine, Fernie, Kicking Horse and Revelstoke and that 3 ski quiver would kill it anywhere here.
MN-The new Enforcer 89 more on piste biased, so look to the wider 94 and up or the Anomoly line as they are now more off piste friendly than before. More tail rocker and splay in the Anomoly line vs the previous lines and only the Enforcer 99 got that treatment in the new line.

I skied the E110 almost every day of our massive 22/23 season. I wish they did not kill that ski. I could go E99 and E110 and be really happy on almost every day.

My local shop has (2) E110s in the 185 length (2023) going for $600.

Thats $600 US for Enforcer 110? Paid under $400 US for my 2025 Enforcer 104 two months ago. Should be definitely under $400 for an Enforcer 110. The 185cm 110 is another option for Tony911 but think the 185cm would be easier and more versatile when its not powder.

Yeah local shops can only discount so much. That's why I haven't snagged one. I'd love to find a 2025 Enforcer 104 for $400. That was a great deal. Don't even need it, but have heard so much good about it on here. Really interested to see if it is that much of an improvement off-piste vs the 99.

Ptex1 is your answer if supporting your local shop doesn’t work for you. But give them a chance and ask to see if they will flex a little.
If my shop has inventory they may often flex a little for me, so if I’m in the ballpark I’ll run the money through them, because it’s more important to me that they stay in business than saving $40-50 and sending money elsewhere. Of course the more I talk with my shop and spend money with them, the more often and deeply they will flex for me as well.

I definitely support my local shop. They are flexible to an extent and hook me up a lot. Also, just posted my E99s for anyone interested. Flexible on price.

At that price it is no wonder they still have them. Sounds like they are going after the cult following that ski had, but not realizing the cult was small. Hahaha. I just grabbed a Countach for that slot. I think I am going to ski it today.

Curious to hear how you like the Countach. I wonder how good that ski is compared to other non-Moment skis in that category. I am definitely interested in it, but wish they would have kept the Commander 108 (or gone 110).

What shop is that? I'm also in WA in search of an E110.

Funny enough, I also have an 179 E99 that I'm trying to get rid of (replaced it with a 183 Bondafide 97).

Arlbergs in Wenatchee.

Quote doesnt seem to work so my response seems random. I was lucky enough to find a on hill rental here in Fernie to demo the Rustler 10 and Enforcer 104. Both good skis but for what Im looking for I bought a 186 R10. I guess I dont have the microscopic comparison difference some of you have but the E104 is not enough different from my E99 or E110 to justify buying. First run on the R10 I was ready to return thinking too soft, but after getting into deeper chopped powder I realized how easy and non tiring they were. I have a Anomoly 88 for firm, and in fact they are way better for a all mountain than they are given credit for. For my old destroyed knees, the A88 is a rebirth on fast skiing. Up to 6-8 inches powder, I dont see me changing skis. No stress on knees and no burning quads. As much as I like multiple skis, I can see simplifying to the A88 and Rustler 10. Im selling my E99 and may sell a pair of new murdered out E110 191 cm and keep my old E110 just in case. I know a lot of you will disagree but its time I stopped skiing my ego and skied my fitness. I guess it depends on your ski training but having a race background from way back I am still a hard pressure on the shovel kind of guy and need to relax.We cant be 20 years old for ever even if we ski 50 days a year.

I have been thinking this very thing. I have my E99s up for sale and have been really eying the A88 due to the high praise its been receiving and numerous reviews highlighting its versitility (even up to several inches of powder off piste). I loved the E99, but am looking for that great 2-ski quiver for travling. I think the combo of a A88 and something in the 105-110 range would be great to be a catchall for whatever conditions you may encounter. The E99 ends up being less than ideal when you consider having multiple skis. Even considering west cost vs east cost I think there is utility in having a narrower ski like the A88. Without my partner being upset I think my ideal quiver is going to be a park/freestyle ski, narrower directional ski like the A88, and a 105-110 freeride-type ski.

Would definitely recommend the Sender Free 110/MFree 112 for a great soft snow/powder travel ski in the 110mm ish width range. Like Enforcers they can carve well and grip when needed but more stable and willling to go straight than the old Enforcer Free 110 along with more backbone. Lots of them as daily drivers here out west in Canada where I ski.

Today I would have probably rather been on my Enforcer 104 vs my Sender Free 100 as it was refrozen groomers this morning and the E104 would have made that less jarring.

I havent even touched my E99 since getting my SF100. Waited until things warmed up to get out yesterday and the SF100 was perfect (at least where things were sun exposed). Its just such a fun ski for railing some grooms combined with park laps, which is what I was really doing yesterday. I am think I am pretty set on the SF110 after now being on the SF100 for a while.

Now as to whether I get the Enforcer 89 or the Anomaly 88. Anyone have experience on both to A/B them? Mixed feedback online regarding both. I am leaning E89 due to loving the E99 so much, but here a ton of good about the A88 and how versatile it is.

The Anomoly Line has been made more off piste friendly and playful by increasing the tail rocker and splay over the old Brahma/bonifide models. The Enforcer 89 got stiffer and less tail rocker and splay vs the previous 88. Wished they just reduced the taper a bit on the Enforcer 88, added more tail splay and rocker along with the latest rubber damping upgrades and it would have been perfect. The Anomoly 88 should outgrip the E89 while still being easier off trail and more forgiving with a slightly softer flex.
So I would lean Anomoly 88 as it's a bit more versatile I think now.

I picked up the E eighty nine late last season for a daily driver here in Maine, didn’t intend to use it much off trail so it’s been great for my intended use on the hardpack world of sugarloaf. I have not skied the Anomoly

Thanks! I think the consensus is the A88 is overall more versatile. Probably what Ill end up going with.

I havent tried the E89 but love the A88.
I think it is versatile enough I can downsize to 2 skis, the A88 and a Rustler 10.
Very rarely do we get huge dumps of powder here in the Canadian Rockies, at least the Banff area, that I need a big powder ski.
I have been using the A88 way more than I thought I would.

Spent the afternoon on my Enforcer Ninety-Nine in spring conditions. They just disappear under my feet. So versatile. Such a high performance envelope but still so effortless. I love these things!

The upgrades to the E99 have been only positive and definitely increased its versatility, to the point where its hard to justify keeping skis remotely close in width. Ive always enjoyed having a low 90mm ski and a mid-100mm ski in my quiver for specific conditions, but the E99 has made those categories feel redundant. Whether its early season, hard pack, ice, or spring skiing, the E99 handles it all with ease.

What has really surprised me, though, is how well it performs in a freeride context. With the more forward mounted, the ski maintains a well-balanced feel in the air, whether Im dropping cliffs, hitting pillows, or sending natural features. You can even play around with it—jibbing, seeking side hits, and doing 180s and 360s feels smooth. Skiing switch is surprisingly comfortable too.

Compared to the SF100, which Ive also been spending a lot of time on, I find myself consistently skiing faster, getting more air, and not worrynig about where Im landing regardless of conditions as the E99 will just run it out.

Totally agree. My next ski above E94 is 110mm underfoot. Have considered adding an 82-86mm more frontside oriented ski under the E94, but I don’t really need to go any faster or carve more deeply on groomed than I can with E94. The main thing is sheer boilerplate, it would be nice flattening the ski and shrinking the width a little bit.

Random curosity. Saw someone out on the Maverick 105 CTI yesterday. I feel like I haven't really seen that or the 115 CTI in the wild nor seen any real feedback on it here. Has anyone been on the 105 to compare it to the E104?

^^^ I haven't been on the 105 but I own the Maverick 100 Ti, picked up last fall for nada. After several years on Volkl/Nordica/Blizzard it is quite a change-up for me. Eighteen hundred grams light, it is responsive and poppy. I'm enoying it though I still reach for one of the heavyweights most often. Maybe lighter skis is Atomics niche. They seem to do it well. I tour on the Backland 107


edit to say it is apostrophes the software hates

Maverick 105CTI has similar dimensions to the E104 but more taper and 200gr lighter. Maverick more in the Stance/Declivity/Faction Dancer type of skis with some metal but lighter cores than Enforcers.
E104 is a ski you'd like better than the E99 as it's more playful yet more damp and stable. I would maybe choose the E99 as a one ski quiver and would choose the E104 if had a narrower ski already.

Bandit Man - looking at picking up the new Enforcer 104 as a do-it-all travel ski. You've steered me well before (21/22 Bonafides that I love), and seems like you really like the new 104s if I'm not mistaken. Any reservations recommending the new 104 (185 length) if I'm a big fan of the 183 bones as a DD? I have (and love) the BO118 for my pow ski as another reference point.

Not Bandit Man but imfluenced him to try out the new 104 which both of us love. They have a nice damp feel like the Bones had but improved ease off trail and in bumps vs that ski. The more forward mount and extra tail splay on the 185cm will make it ski easier than the 183cm Bones I would think.
Also have the BO 118, Sender Free 110 and new SF 100 and travel with my BO 118 and the SF 100 this year. Was hoping the SF 100 would be an even easier Enforcer 104 but its lack of mass and damping on firmer conditions made we wish I had brought my E104 instead. Just did a crud filled groomer run at the end of the day here at Lake Louise on the SF 100 and it totally feel apart around 40mph that the E104 would have laughed at. Final straw for the SF 100 experiment and will just use the E104 in that spot.
Think the E104 is the closest thing to a 100mm range Sender Free 118/Blackops 118 for the directional skier.
And now will be on heavy discount from places soon on Spring Sales to boot!

Appreciate the feedback noslow! "Think the E104 is the closest thing to a 100mm range Sender Free 118/Blackops 118 for the directional skier." just sealed the deal, couldn't pass up the couloir sale.I see the mount point has been moved up from the E104 Free. Should I just trust the process and mount on the line, or would you recommend moving back from recommended? (I'm -2.5 or so on the BO118s and happy there. Also happy on the line for the bones.)

I'm also at -2.5cm/-5cm total on the BO 118 and find the rec mount on the E104 perfect. Initiates turns well, still playful and much more stable than the old 104 back on its further back mount. Around -7cm I think on the Enforcer line now. Can still drive them but fun still.

See a lot of discussion about the SF100, Enforcer Free 104, etc...I ended up getting a deal on the a pair of Enforcer Free 110 185s from 23 that I mounted this past Monday just in time for Whistler. I started the season on the 25 E99 and switched over to the SF100 for several weeks up until now. Loved both skis for different reasons, but definitely felt there was a comprimise in riding either whether it be the E99 just being a bit too planted and directional for my style of skiing and the SF100 lacking composure in even slightly adverse snow conditions (especially at speed). I honestly think that Rossignol missed on not adding metal to the SF100. It would have made it a 10/10 ski IMO.


First day on the E110 Frees at Whistler yesterday (3/14) in amazing conditions up here. I mounted the E110 Frees at +1.5 from rec. I took a single run to know this is exactly the ski Ive been yearning for. The amount of tip and tail rocker, weight in the 2200g+, dual metal layup, and more progressive mount equates to a ski that allows me to do everything I want. Going fast hrough open bowls. Straightlining narrow chutes. Dropping cliffs. It does all that, which isn't surprising. What was really surprising was how nimble it was at the same time. It felt so easy zipper lining (I mean just bashing through) moguls, in the trees, navigating cliffs, etc. I was popping off just about every side hit I could find. Thanks to the +1.5 mount 180s and the couple 360s I did felt effortless. Skiing switch was really comfortable. Even did a few park laps on the Whistler side and appreciated the balance in the air and on the one or two pipes I hit.


With that being said, I am not trying to compare the E99 nor SF100 to the E110 Free...albeit with how well the E110 Free carved on groomers I am certainly more eager to grab the E110 Free the remainder of the season. However, compared to the numerous other skis in the 108-112 width category I've been on recently (Praxis MVP 108, Moment WC 108, Moment DW 112, Bent 110, and ON3P Wood 108), this ski does everything they do and more. It isnt a knock on those skis either. They are all incredible (aside from the Bent 110). I just think for the stronger and more aggressive skiers out there its hard to beat a heavier ski with a metal layup (or the right material to provide sufficent dampening and stiffness). I imagine this is why there is so much love for the BO 118, SF110, and Heritage Labs skis. I will def be grabbing the other pair of E110 Frees my local shop has to have on reserve since they dont make it anymore.

Wow, would love your notes on E110 versus MVP108, WC108, and WD108! What lengths were you running on all?

My DD is a WD110 (very minor differences between that and current gen WD108); my low tide ski is Enforcer 94 and I’ve skied the previous E104 Free but not the current E99 or E104.
