AKA--the "ski of the year"?

It sure has the momentum the Bonafide had. Nordica is sold out at the wholesale level (just as Blizzard was that first year) and the demand is on par with what we saw with the Bonafide. The comparisons come up and Tec/Bliz and Nordica both being part of the Tecnica group makes a very good sibling rivalry. Hmmm. there is a thread idea...sibling rivalry. When I get time.
Bones, Enforcers or Stormriders? Maybe where and in which situations..
Good stuff. My only complaint about the MX88 really is the tail for bumps. Its also a tad lacking in the "pop" fun department.
traditional midfat day. You've got chopped soft snow and maybe 3-5 of new. Pal'ing around with friends and co-workers on the hill. A mix of on trail/off trail/cruising around the mountain--just going skiing.
You can grab:
Tried and true bonafides.
Steezy Enforcers.
Racey Stockli Stormrider 95's
What do you reach for?
The Enforcer is a playful and more versatile Bonafide. If you are a charger, the Bonafide is really tough to beat.
Serious question: what does powerful/snappy mean to you, and what ski have you felt that in?Not a "charger" but I found the bonafide isn't powerful/snappy enough. Fun, serviceable, but lacking.

While I agree the Bonafide isn't the snappiest across the hill, there is no denying that it is one of the strongest skis in the class.
Kastle FX95 HP. If I owned some.
The Bonafides have been under my feet more than any other skis in the last 4 years. That won't change anytime soon with the 2016 Bones in my garage. That said, every time I've been in the new Enforcers I walk away grinning and giddy. Both skis exude quality and I think it comes down to personal preference and style.
Kevin,
Any input would be great! Also what binding do you recommend for it...and normal placement...assuming yes. I'm 6' and about 170, so I was going to go w/ the 180cm. Is there a dedicated Right/left on these per the graphics...may be a stupid question, but wasn't sure.
