@The Retired Skier You get those Enforcer 104 skis retuned yet so you can finally see their full potential?
I sure did! Noticeable difference! I’ve been on them three days since and loved it!@The Retired Skier You get those Enforcer 104 skis retuned yet so you can finally see their full potential?

Great powder stick, my favorite of the Ti series. I only skied it twice this year though and then only because it's my only "touring" ski right now.107 is a rare one, how do you like it?
Here I thought I was a Fischer nut. I bow to you my hero!

View attachment 162901
Head Rebel e.Race Pro 175cm/15m (121-68-102) with 0.5/3 tune: These short turn sport carvers are a bit like a detuned, less frenetic, more versatile FIS SL. I use both the e.Race and WRT-ST interchangeably in this role, with perhaps a slight nod to the e.Race for its slightly greater versatility. (alternate Stockli WRT-ST 172cm)
Stockli Laser GS 185cm/19.4m (118-69-97) with 0.5/3 tune: This is NOT a true GS ski, but rather a longer turn sport carver that I find so versatile, that it replaced my 184 AX. The Laser GS is silky smooth, offers good rebound energy, works not only on groomers, but can handle several inches of fresh snow and even survives moguls. (alternate Head Rebel e.Speed Pro 185cm)
Rossignol Hero Plus Ti 181cm/15m (130-78-110) with 1/3 tune: Both the 181 and 174 lengths of this ski are great all mountain groomer cruisers that can carve fantastically well, handle bumps, and although not ideal for the application—they don’t mind a few inches of fresh snow. The shorter versions are a little too much like a SL ski and less versatile. (alternate Stockli Laser AX 175cm)
Salomon Stance 90 182cm/19m (128-90-110) with 1/3 tune: If my Monster 88 and Evolve 90 hooked up and produced progeny, the Stance 90 would be their love child. It carves extremely well, but also has a friendly forgiving disposition, and floats nicely in fresh snow. If only ripping on-piste, I’d definitely stick with my Augment All Mountain 88 Carver, however the Stance 90 is more versatile and and capable in moguls, fresh snow, and off-piste. (alternate Augment AM88c 179cm)
Augment All Mountain 98 187cm/19m (138/98/120) with 1/3 tune: The AM98 is the first ski I have found that offers the quick turning, solid carving, energetic rebound, mogul capability, fresh snow float, and ability to crush chop, as well as slay spring slush that my beloved H&B’s offer. (alternate Nordica Hell & Back 98 185cm)
Nordica Enforcer Pro 115 191cm/21.5m (143-115-132) with 1/2 tune: This is one of my favorite resort powder skis—able to handle several feet of powder, has no problems with the chopped up detritus later in the day, and carves nicely for its width. Surprisingly it is also a great ski for afternoon Spring slush. (alternate Blizzard Rustler 11 188cm)
I appreciate the brand diversity. Those Fischer guys need to branch out. ;-)
I was shopping around for a Hero Plus this morning. A 181 with a 15m sidecut is appealing. But I'll probably go for next season's Redster Q9.8 instead.
Thanks for the confirmation. I've been trying to find a pair to ride before the season is out. I'm assuming it's like a tighter radius S/Force Bold?Redster Q9.8 is great.
Did you try the Stance 90 in 176 too?Curious as to the difference in 182.Current recreational quiver includes:
