Anybody have any experience? The shop I work at is sticking them this year and I'm looking for a new frontside/all mountain ski. I don't really care as much about pow performance as a I have a pair of 110 waisted skis for that. I'm just looking for a ski that does well in variable snow and I can get great edge hold for some nice hard carving. Suggestions are welcome too.

If you want great edge hold and strong carving, don't look at soft freestyle skis.

Didn't know they were soft. I wouldn't have asked if I had.

What other brands does your shop stock? You're going to pull the best discounts on those right?

Pioneer 96 is stiffer and heavier than the Nomad 95 and might be the better model for your needs in that line.
Nordica Enforcer 93 is you don’t need a twin and Fisher 94FR if you do. Nordica is heavier and is better through crud. Both are fantastic carvers with great edge grip.
