Christmas came early at Skiboot Rx

This came today and its not from last year.

Is that asymmetric or is that just the way the photo makes it look?

 

[Mike Thomas]

looks like an Enforcer -7

 

[mdf]

Someone could really confuse things by introducing a model named the "Prototype" or "Next Year's Model".

 

[Don in Morrison]

^^^If anyone did that, it would have to be The Ski.

Must be the photo.

Could be.

Tail of the ski.

Just very disappointed this thing is 185cm instead of 177 or even 170. Oh well, I can't ski before the demos as Copper Mountain anyway.

I think the boss might take offense.

 

[Drahtguy Kevin]

"Wow" is all I can say.

93mm waist Enforcer, I like the idea of that!

Looking forward to your review

Now go off to New Mexico and get working on that Alien abduction to beam you up and heal the bum clavicle

I like it but I wonder if a 87 would have been better; 93 vs 100... lots of overlap there... I say 87 because it just sounds better. oh, and a 180 please....

I agree. I was hoping for 90 as a replacement for my Steadfasts when they finally disintegrate, but I already have a 90 and a 97 so I don't think I need a 93. But, who knows, I have an 83 and an 84 so stranger things have happened to my quiver.

Will be interested to hear people's impressions. Gerry, does it "look and feel" like an Enforcer, to the eye and the hand {not sure how much you're flexing it with the collarbone on the mend}? Similar rocker and tail rise? I've heard this ski discussed since the early fall, and the impression that I got was that it was going to be quite a bit different than a 7mm narrower version of the 100mm Enforcer. I have heard terms like "beefier", "stiffer", etc. Will be curious to learn more. Certainly the new 2015-2016 Enforcer has been an enormous hit. Huge.

 

[Gerry Rhoades]

It certainly looks like the prototype of the current Enforcer. I didn't even try to flex it, but the boss did and just watching him flex it leads me to believe it is not as stiff as the Enforcer 100 and his comments when he did that backup my observation. The tip rocker looks about the same. I might actually try to do some comparison measurements against a 185 length Enforcer 100 when I'm back in the shop on Saturday.

hey rewind, I thought the Vantage 90cti was gonna be your 90 replacement j.k.

I believe my comment was that IF I was looking for a replacement for the Steadfast the Vantage 90CTi would be it. I still stand behind that statement, but I'm not really looking for a replacement. See what I did there?

 

[Philpug]

Mine is on the way...I was hoping it would be here today. Damn..I hate waiting.

 

[Daves not here]

Damn you Nordica! A 93 and a 100 to choose from?

If my observation yesterday was correct, I don't think you'll like he 93. Phil will be getting up a review pretty soon I'm sure and then we'll see.
