Testing Nordica's SECRET Prototype Skis

- What do you do when Nordica prototype skis arrive in the mail unannounced. Go skiing of course. In this video I test and review a blank pair of prototype Nordica skis I was mailed and try to get to the bottom of the #NordicaProtoProject mystery.

Yo Helly Hansen, look at this quality content that Rise & Alpine has produced for Nordica. Helly Hansen, you should get on it and supply this dude with some Lifa Infinity Pro wear. In the sea of Dead Bird Brand jackets that is Whistler, the Rise & Alpine dude and his iconic busted-up Helly Hansen jacket stands out like a lighthouse of hope, and supplying him would be a great way to promote your awesome Lifa Infinity Pro tech that doesn't require toxic DWR treatments to stay waterproof. Just make sure you don't give him black colourways like every other brand this season -- this dude needs colours that will stand out!
If they could make me a new version of this exact jacket I would be so grateful... This coat is my second skin 😂
Great to see you getting some support from someone in the industry!
Thanks Steve. It's a real dream teaming up with one of my favourite brands!
Watched a 12 min commercial and didn't press skip! I like!!
😂
Helly Hansen is missing out on the best sponsorship opportunity on RUclips.
There is nothing I would want more than a new version of my current coat that is falling apart. Is that too much for a man to ask 😂😂
Nordica ok with you putting this on RUclips?? Awesome video and excited to see you ski the prototypes as I love Nordica Skis. I am jealous since you are probably testing the redesigned Enforcer for 2025. Great detailed review.
Here's hoping they okay with this being on youtube LOL :).... They didn't really give me much guidance which is kind of awesome. If the video disappears then we'll know something went wrong. Worth the risk! It would have been impossible for me not to try them.
@@riseandalpine hahahha
Nordica knows exactly what they’re doing. Keep your eyes peeled for a few more “leaks”. Ski essentials posted a video too.
50k baby! Best comedy on skis ever.
Had so much fun with that into. Maybe a little too much hahahaha
Really enjoyed watching the super secret Nordica Proto skis story here. It’s good to see how a ski performs on our regional snow type. We don’t get the 40:1 ratio snow like SLC does …way denser I’m guessing near more like 15:1 (snow to liquid water ratio) this El Niño season with it being so warm. Always fun watching your videos James. Keep us informed 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the journey of this video. We've got a lot of liquid in this snow, especially this season hahaha
I appreciate the effort you put into making your videos! Thanks mate!
Thanks for always tuning in Mackie. All the engagement from y'all keeps me going :)
Very humoristic today James, I run a set of 104 Freeriders occasionally when we get a moderate pow dump and quite enjoy them. Keep up the good work and Peace Out
Glad you liked it Paul. The 2022 104 is one of my favourite all time skis. Looks like you've been getting a bit more snow than us this season. Might have to make a trip your way again soon.
Thanks for taking a selfie with my husband today! Love your videos! We are at Whistler all week next time out make him try some hot sauce 😂🎉
It was great meeting him! I'll be sure to get him into the hot sauce next time :)
They're so dreamy, stoked to see you on a pair!
Ayyyeee! I can't stop skiing them... We might have a daily driver on our hands :)
Please keep us updated on this
Waiting for more information! Promise to keep you in the loop :)
Aww, dude! Awesome. Great video! Jealous and missing it. Thanks for the good vibes!👍
Glad you liked it. Would love for more skiers to try these things. So much fun!
Just subscribed. I have really been liking your videos. Your pretty ballsy with the back country stuff. Have you ever considered the spearhead traverse? I think you and Adventure Rob should rock it.
Thanks so much for tuning in and subscribing Ian, it really helps me get one step closer to the dream.
Spearhead is on the bucketlist! I need to get some lighter gear especially if I want to challenge it as a day trip.
I would cheat on my skis for that. That proto is looking pretty sick and might be the future of skis as we know it.
I'm not one to be unfaithful... but I just couldn't help it
Funny..... You got your skis. Great review. PS. Keep them away from the rocks....If you could.
I will absolutely be veering clear of the rocks on these things... Now I remember what smooth bases feel like 😂😂😂
This my favourite intro ever
NSFW ski intro 😂
What a great early Christmas present!
Best Christmas EVER!
That was a classic. Made me look at Nordica skis afrer even though I'm not in the market for new skis😂
So Classic... Aren't we always in the market for new skis though hahaha. Window shopping never hurt anyone :)
shhhh, don't tell my misses@@riseandalpine
Maybe its a Enforcer Free Unleashed.... .??
In the PNW you cant go wrong with Nordica.
The 104 free is my favorite ski.
Your guess is as good as mine! Did everything so well it was hard to put my finger on the pulse.
Rumor has it this would be Enforcer 99.
Nice. How was the snow? I escaped to the duffey this weekend to try and stay in below freezing temps. Only somewhat successful, it was still kinda sticky snow and the treed approaches were not skiable. But i got some turns in the alpine at least 😊. Another snow or two and it'll be actually good there i reckon. If nothing more melts
Snow was great Friday, things have gotten a little rough after the rain last night.
That's awesome well deserved!
Thanks Ruben... Still feeling stoked about it all!
I wish Nordica left skis outside my door
Santa Claus is real and I guess he works for Nordica.
You need to get on the Rossi Sender Free 110 this season. Magic skis. Pop a Nordica sticker on them..everyone’s happy 😅
I've heard good things about the Sndr free - would be fun to put the unleashed and the sndr free against each other in a demo
@@riseandalpine sweeeeet
Damn, another totally exceptional ski run day, blows my mind, so glad I found this channel I mean really glad awesome video praise the Lord!!!
Glad you found this channel as well!
amazing video
Thanks!
The very next day - A Letter from Nordica is received - "Dear Sir or Madam, We regret to inform you that a recent pair of Top Secret Prototype skis may have been delivered to your address by mistake. Please return said item in it's original condition and packaging with the included shipping label at no cost to you. We apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your assistance and silence on this Top Secret matter. Please refrain from taking or sharing pictures or video of our Top Secret skies. Thank you. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated and if the item is returned as received you will be awarded a life time of free skis and a season pass for life to your preferred ski destination as our reward for your assistance and silence. The Nordica team." Then all of a sudden, "Knock knock KNOCK - THIS IS THE POLICE - WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THEIR - RELEASE THE SKIS OR THE DOGS WILL MAKE ENTRY". You awake in the hospital wondering what the heck is going on, was that dream? The nurse quickly informs you that you are OK and in a SAFE place. You ask almost out of breath, "where are the skis! What skis the nurse says? I'm sorry but you didn't arrive with any skis but you were apparently in some sort of hot sauce and ski wax induced coma". Oh shet LOL...Love ya buddy, keep those tips pointed down hill and forever stay awesome 🙂
Andy dude... want to help me write scripts hahaha.. This is epic and I've read it 4 times!
@@riseandalpine Haha I'm so happy you liked it. Can never tell whether people will see the intended humor in a post or not. I'll help out anyway I can my friend though to be fair the whole idea started with your intro and @juryacquittal's post with your reply and just sort of blossomed from there. Ok ok maybe just maybe there was some hot sauce and beer involved hahaha
They looked narrower than your usuals and your comments hinted that too on piste, pow etc. Redone 94s.....
Any spill on the waist width? 😉
I guess I could take a tape measure to them ;)
Reddit has a photo that says "Enforcer 99 Proto" on the label on the plastic wrapper..
Wilson did this with a tennis racket
Proto then collected data for the main model
Sold a proto type
Really eh? Such a cool idea.
@@riseandalpine
Wilson SHIFT
it had a phone style ebarcode on it
project LABS
adding a little sorcery to shreddin' isn't going to hurt . . . rip it bro!
Give me more ski sorcery!!!
nice looking thingamajingas :D they seem to be on the stiffer side? :)
Yup! Not mega rockered or overly floppy but surprisingly playful. Very hard to put my finger on the pulse of this one.
Media King to Nordica influencer !
Still can't believe I'm teaming up with one of my favourite brands. So surreal!
That PH1 stands for Powder House 1 right???
How did you know!
Nice! What is your height and how long are the skis? I am 173 cm tall and got my hands on a pair of these at 179 cm. I am wondering if I should keep them or if I should resale them because they seem a bit long...
I'm about 189cm tall - For all my off-piste all mountain skis I run 191cm. For the 99's and my 88's enforcer I got the 187.
I like a big turn radius but it really depends what you like and how you ski?
Wonder if it's finally a redesign of the Enforcer
Maybe? It's been a while eh. Stoked to get some more information. I'll keep y'all posted.
Those appear to be great skis, but im pretty sure no matter which pair of ski Nordica would have given you, you would have ripped on them all the same xD
Thanks! Really digging these twigs so far :)
Are you in Whistler soon ? I have 2 fans that would like to meet you?
My schedule is pretty random but I'm always kicking around!
LMAO
Small waist big bindings... How could I resist going for a ride.
@@riseandalpine Wouldn’t Expect Any Less From You
free skis are the best skis
You just can't go wrong!
2025 Nordica Enforcer 104
Still waiting on more info from Nordica. We'll have to wait and see 👀 👀 👀
Lets put this in perspective, you're cheating on your long time partners... with a new pair that isn't even legal yet... and you're filming it for the world to see!
So scandalous
Josh... Even I didn't know how criminal my behaviour was. It's going to be a tough breakup.
