Enforcer 100's: meh.
Contrary to several posts here: I bought them to be my general-purpose, low-tide ski (CO), expecting awesomeness. But they wound up being my dad-ski, for sure. See my previous post on the matter, as I don't wish to spew it all again.
Just saw the 24-25 Nordica catalog and the enforcer 110 is gone
Other enforcers have dropped a mm ie the 100 is now a 99
Kind of a bummer. I like the 110. They are definitely putting those eggs in the Unleashed basket. I'd like to try out that series. Enforcer Pro still has a cult following. They probably should have kept that ski, but maybe it's not as popular elsewhere as it is out here.
While not as loose, heavy, and semi-chargy as the E110, the Unleashed 108 is a very versatile and fun ski. I can see it being a better seller for a younger demographic than the E110.Quote:

I think that 104 is a brand new ski in the flat tailed group
Is the 104 getting a tail similar to the current 100 or they just not showing a “free” section for just one ski?Quote:

I’m guessing that’s the case. There is no way they are changing that design. Works too well for a wide array of skiers.Quote:

While it was there I have to say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the new graphics were ugly
It’s not like there was anything to get too excited about, but I figured it would get pulled soon.Quote:

Suggested mount point for enforcer 110 free?

On the line for me on the 191cm. It's so easy to drive the front of that ski from the rec line. Couldn't imagine the need to be more forward.Quote:

I did a test mount on a 2*4 last night while sipping some bourbon. Also plugged some old holes with epoxy, but nothing super technical.Quote:

I have the 191 and they are mounted on the line.
Love this ski, I don't get where some reviews call it a beast, it is the easiest ski of all the ones I own.
Hive mind - would like some opinions on new skis for a E110 appreciator. Some background I'm 5'11" 180lbs, relatively OK skier but not a charger. Ski Whistler around 30 days/year comfortable on most lines other than mandatory airs etc.
Had been on the 2016/17 185 110s for a few years, love them as a great all round ski, smooth and carve well on the piste and are not bad in powder either. Last year I tried two new skis: 182cm M-Free 108s and 183cm J Hotshots. Have been a little underwhelmed by both, the M-Frees are definitely looser in soft snow, but found they float worse and definitely not as damp on the groomers/crud. The hotshots am struggling to get on with, just feel very planky.
So this year am considering either back to a new set of E110s (has the construction changed much?) or possibly the updated Rustler 11s as a dedicated powder ski and then something narrower for harder packed days... All advice appreciated!
So, this is the last year for the Enforcer 110. It goes away next year. Nordica says that it has been updated to the newer E100/E104 construction but not sure how that changes the ski versus what version you are on.
It’s a shame you dismissed the MFree108, because it’s clear you were on the wrong length for your size. The 192 is a different animal. The E110 is better on firm snow, but the 192 MF108 is a better soft snow ski. I sold my 191 E110’s because of my affinity for the big boy MF108. It’s my favorite Blackcomb ski, especially when it’s soft out.
That being said, the E110 really complements a narrower ski in the quiver, as they were intended to be a powder ski that handles resort groomers well.
Have you tried a narrower Enforcer? If you didn’t get on with the Hotshot, I’m reluctant to recommend anything burlier.
Thanks Bandit Man yeah you are totally right I should have got the 192 MFree. I have not tried a narrower enforcer, based on what I've read I think they're probably going to be too stiff for me. Like you say it's the last year for the Enforcer 110 and will probably end up picking up a pair just in case.
Mounted my 185 +1 and got on great with it.Quote:

I really haven't had a chance to ski it in deep powder (where the E110 worked great for me) and probably won't since I have better pow skis.
All that said, I wish the Hotshot were a bit longer at the same weight (186?!?). I think the 189 might lose some playfulness and the 183 can be a touch short.
I'm 6', 160 and I would have zero issues skiing a 185 E110 every day if I had to. I'm sorta tempted to grab another set to hold onto. I'm definitely classified as a ski whore.
I’m having the same debate in my head right now. I really like the masterblaster but looking for something wider in soft snow. I want something in the range of 106-110. Currently debating Hotshot 189, E110 Free 191, and Moment Countach 188. This will be my widest ski. I had the Bent 110 (tour/resort combo) in that slot last year but it got tossed in variable snow/chop, so something with more backbone. I’m 6’5” 200 for reference.
Oh dude.... at your size you need some ski. I would say Enforcer Pro if they still made it. Definitely a 190-ish ski. The E110 191 would probably work.Quote:

Like I said... you need some ski.
Yeah, I can get the E110 for $700 including shipping from a euro site so that’s intriguing. I just can’t make up my mind. Crossing the Hotshot off the list because this ski will be my widest so it needs to be versatile.
I and a few others (I think @snowmachine) found it took a few days on the Hotshots for the skis to click... took me 3 maybe 4 days, then loved them. But I was tee'd up to catch and release them pretty quick.
FWIW I have a 110Enforcer in a 191 and a 189 Hotshot, I find utility in each to warrant keeping both in the quiver, love them both.
The price tag is steep and I figure they won't make it to the spring sales period, but fanboy'ing over the all black E110's this year, very tempted to grab a pair esp if this is the last run.

Corbetts has the 185cm Enforcer 110 and shorter sizes for $800 CAN/$600ish US with free shipping. No 191cm sizes though.
PM me if you need a Corbett’s contact as they might be able to do even better on them.
