Hi all,
I'm a skier that is trapped in Chicago, where there are no mountains in sight. I get about 10 ski days per year in Colorado, Canada, or Utah, depending on the year. To date, I've always rented skis, which allows me to choose skis based on conditions. This, however, means I don't always wind up on the best set of skis because of the rental shops' available inventory. I'm considering buying some Nordica Enforcer 93s or 100s because I've demoed both and they are confidence inspiring.
I'm an athletic "upper intermediate" skier (confident on ungroomed blacks, trying some steeps). I like to ski a mix of groomers/ungroomed and trees/moguls.
My question is: Which of the following makes the most sense.
1. Buy the Enforcer 93s, which are the best in case of snow drought.
2. Buy the Enforcer 100s, which are a good balance (?)
3. Demo the Enforcer 104s ($$++) because they might be more versatile (?) than the above.
4. Continue to rent so I can choose skis based on conditions.
Price is important, but secondary to having the best ski experience. How would you choose a daily driver if you were a destination skier? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks!
