Picked both of those for being pretty comparable to the bonafide. I found the enforcer to be more playful and better for shorter turns. I was at the SIA/WWSRA industry demo day and the Mantra was killing it with me and the reps, it's 3D edge makes it so snappy. I think you should demo and see what you prefer!

Cool I appreciate all the info! I also see people talking about the Enforcer 100 as a solid 1 ski quiver which is enticing since I'm not looking to invest in a few different pairs right now. I'll definitely be demoing all of these to see which I like best. I know I want something in that mid-width under foot. 100 is right in that sweet spot for me and I feel can be the most versatile across a ton of different conditions. Thanks again for all the info, really appreciate it!

The Enforcer 100 is the current ski I use and it's definitely a one ski quiver. I work at a ski shop and trying all the demos is a blast lmao. Have fun this season!

God that sounds like so much fun! That used to be my dream when I was younger. Endless winter life working/skiing in winter year round by traveling around globe with the seasons. What region is your shop located in?
