Nordica Unleashed 98 Skis 2026

The Unleashed 98 checks all the boxes you want from a freeride ski — it slashes, pops, pivots, and stomps like it’s got something to prove. And yeah, it’s marketed as Nordica’s more playful all-mountain option, but don’t let the surfy shape and freestyle roots fool you — this thing can rail a turn. While it's obvious Nordica takes some inspiration from the popular Enforcer series, the Unleashed is like the younger brother who is more down to party. What makes the Unleashed 98 stand out from a crowded field of freestyle inspried skis is its versatility without compromise. A lot of skis in this category promise “playful and stable” — few deliver. But this one actually does. There’s just enough metal underfoot to keep things calm at speed and give you confidence when things get firm, but not so much that it dulls the energy or agility. It's also not a noodle like some skis in this category tend to be. It’s quick edge-to-edge, easy to initiate a turn, and doesn’t punish you if your technique isn’t perfect. Whether you’re hunting side hits, charging through tight trees, or attempting to drag a hip on groomers, the Nordica Unleashed 98 holds it together.
