I would probably say the best size would be 172 cm since you are a better skier. This would be helpful if you are still growing hight wise. That is just my personal opinion. Hope this helps! 😊
Enforcer is more of an off-piste oriented geometry with the extra rocker especially in the tip. Maverick is less rockered which means the tip will engage more strongly on groomers.
Would you say it skis long or short, or just to lenght? I am wondering what length to get and know it has some rocker. I have Ranger 98ti in 180cm but hey have stacks of rocker, and am wondering if the 176 or 169 would be best. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
Hi, I got my hands on a pair of Enforcer 99 of 179cm. I am 173 cm tall, advanced but not expert, 67 kg. I won't get to test them until next winter. Do you think it's the right length for me? I think 173 would have been better, I like to go fast on the slopes so I believe the 179 will good and stable but I am wondering how they will perform in off-piste, in the trees. How tall are you, what length did you test? Do you think they will feel good for me? Thanks!
I'm 170cm, was about 72kg when I tested them, I typically ski skis around the 180cm mark, I'd go that length if you want speed but you could consider going shorter if you want more manouverability.
Did you think the new one was any less direct, as in easier or softer than the 2024, or just more the change to the tail shape and really same ski capability wise? Just asking as 24 models are half price now, and I'd guess the 99s aren't worth twice the price of the model 24 100? 😉
Nice review. Looks like I’m going back to Faction this season. I had the Dictator seasons ago and what an amazing hard charging all around ski that was. The Dancer 2 sounds perfect. Thanks.
It would be great if they brought back the low bridge fit, they were awesome… the “universal fit” leaves the biggest gaps for people with low bridge nose and high cheek bones (extra foam at the wrong areas)…
I would probably say due to the milder tip rocker in the Anomaly they would be better on-piste, but honestly they are 2 of the best 88/89mm all mountain skis you can buy. I've had the old Enforcer 88 as my personal ski and loved it, and I'll give the Anomaly a try this year I reckon.
Goggles are over-engineered these days. I've owned the flight decks, fall lines, and line miners. They all fail in comparison to something like the Anon M4. What's the point of having the magnets in addition to the locking system? Kinda redundant in my opinion.
We are huge fans of the Anon M-series goggles and I was in M4 for about 4 years until this year when I got some M5 that I am also super happy with. It's my understanding that Anon has a watertight patent on magnet-only goggles so all the other brands have some sort of catch system too. But it's nice to see some Oakleys with a simple lens interchange so fans of the brand now have the option, the more options for consumers the better if you ask me!
Can you retrofit the new AFD onto the original Shift binding? Also, have Salomon made any improvements to the brakes, to reduce the tendency to deploy whilst touring if you have any snow beneath the stomp plate, and to better stop a runaway ski?
Depends on how much powder you're expecting, 100 better for touring/all-mountain and shallower powder, 110 better for deeper powder/freeride, just need to choose the one that suite what you will be doing more, or has more differentation from the other skis in your quiver. If you
I wonder why ski reviewers don´t try their skis tougher. I am alwyas looking forward to see the reviewer in a steep couloir and in a super icy piste, and in a hard packed mogul field and on a heavy snow crust. But no no. Sun, powder, soft snow and sliding in the piste are their choice of test tracks. The rest is all words.
You realize most people ski the terrain you just mentioned. I own this ski and it's not an extreme ski for those conditions you want. For what you mentioned on the harder conditions you want some metal in your ski. This is for softer snow / trees and sure some steeper terrain but you aren't bombing of 30ft drops with these. They are too soft.
Just an FYI…when you demo a ski, you are on a time limit, so you basically get one or two runs. You don’t really have a lot of choices, you get what’s quick and easily available.
What are some differences between the Pandora 84 and the new Pandora 85? I saw on your website the newer ones are heavier, and they now have sidewall construction. Are there any other notable differences? Thanks!
@@Aussieskier Thank you! I think my fiance will like this. He loves the retired Sick Day 94s. If the Pandoras come in lengths in the 180's the 99 might be a good fit for him. 85 or 92 could work for me, but I am an upper beginner, he is an advanced/expert skier.
