Nordica Enforcer 94 vs Salomon QST 94: Two 94 mm All-Mountain Skis Compared

Same waist, very different skis: how the Enforcer 94 and QST 94 compare on shape, turn radius, construction, sizes and price, and who each one suits.

The Nordica Enforcer 94 and the Salomon QST 94 are two of the most widely stocked skis of the 2026–27 season: on 31 October 2026, 39 US shops each had them in stock. Both are 94 mm all-mountain skis, the kind of width many skiers choose as their one ski for everything. On paper, though, they take quite different routes to get there.

We haven't skied these two for this comparison. It's built from the makers' published specs and the prices we track, and it explains what those numbers usually mean on snow.

The specs side by side

Shape: same waist, different ends

The waist is identical, but the QST is wider at both ends: 6 mm more at the tip and 4 mm more at the tail. More width at the tip gives a ski more surface in soft snow and helps it start turns easily. The QST's shorter turn radius, 15.5 m against 17–18 m for the Enforcer, points the same way: it's shaped to turn more readily at moderate speeds.

The Enforcer's narrower tip and tail and longer radius suggest a ski that prefers longer, faster turns and holds a straighter line through rough snow.

Construction and flex

Here the two are furthest apart. The Enforcer 94 is built around a wood core with two layers of titanal, a metal that adds weight and damping, and it's rated stiff. Skis built that way tend to feel calm at speed and grip well on firm snow, but they ask for a strong, active skier to bend them.

The QST 94 is rated medium, and its ability label stops at intermediate rather than running up to expert. That points to a more forgiving ski that's easier to bend at lower speeds, at the cost of some stability when you push hard.

Sizes

The QST comes in five lengths from 156 to 188 cm, the Enforcer in four from 167 to 185 cm. Shorter skiers have more choice with the QST, and the Enforcer's shortest size will be long for shorter skiers. Nordica's women's all-mountain line is the Santa Ana; the Santa Ana 92 was stocked by 35 US shops on the same day. Our ski size chart explains how to choose a length.

Price

At current-season prices there's little to choose between them: on 31 October every shop with the Enforcer 94 in stock was asking $799.95 or $800, and every shop with the QST 94 $749.95 or $750. Each was the same price at every shop.

Last season's versions were a different story:

• The 2025–26 Nordica Enforcer 94 was in stock at 24 shops from $479.95.
• The 2025–26 Salomon QST 94 was in stock at 13 shops from $419.95.

That's a saving of more than $300 on either ski if last year's version and the sizes left suit you. Check what changed between the years before you buy; our guide to last season's skis explains how.

Which one should you choose?

Choose the Enforcer 94 if you're a strong intermediate or better, you like to ski fast, and most of your days are on firm or mixed snow where stability and grip matter more than ease.

Choose the QST 94 if you're an intermediate who wants one ski for the whole mountain, you value easy turns and float over top-speed stability, or you need a length under 167 cm.

Both are only two of hundreds of all-mountain skis between 90 and 99 mm. If neither sounds right, how to choose skis explains how to narrow the field, and our skis page lets you compare them all.
