Brahma 88 vs Enforcer 88 - help me decide

[Tom K.]

Even though these two skis share the same factory general build, they ski so differently for me. I get along great with the entire Blizzard Bonafide/Brahma line up and really enjoy every model they offer. I have struggled to like any Enforcer, even though they are the "Hot" skis in the all-mtn genre in North America. The Blizzi's are smooth, stable, and have tremendous edge hold, and carve great for me. I own a pair of each (Bonafide, Brahma 88, and Brahma 82)

The Nordi's don't perform like that at all for me. The tip seems vague and they don't hook-up and carve well for me, I also don't notice much playfulness or ease of turning. The Enforcers are just kind of "meh" for me. I keep wondering if there is something wrong with me or my skiing. It's interesting that the mount points are different between the Nordicas and Blizzards. Maybe if I moved the mount point back on the Enforcers, they might come alive. Does anyone else have this issue?

I ski my 100s at minus 1.5 and my 88s at minus 1. Love them both. For me, the E100 out-everythings the Bonafide, especially carving.

At the factory line on the E100 I was interested, but not in love.
