The 2026 Nordica Unleashed 114 is a playful freeride ski that bridges the gap between a wide powder tool and an everyday soft-snow charger. With a versatile twin tip design and progressive shape, it’s built for skiers who blend creativity with speed, whether you're slashing storm-day pow or sessioning natural features in the sidecountry.

Why we like it:

It hits the sweet spot between float, agility, and control, offering powder-day performance without feeling sluggish or one-dimensional.

Who it's for:

Best for advanced and expert skiers who prioritize soft snow performance but still want a ski that can handle some variability. Ideal for West Coast powder days or deeper days in the East.

Highlights:

The Unleashed 114 features Nordica’s Energy TI construction, with a wood core reinforced by a centered layer of titanal for balanced power and precision. Its twin tip shape, coupled with rocker in the tip and tail and camber underfoot, promotes effortless float and playful smearability in powder. The titanal sheet keeps the ski composed in variable snow while preserving its quick-turning, freestyle-friendly character.

Things to consider:

At 114 mm underfoot, this ski is clearly biased toward soft conditions and is not a do-everything ski. Its wide waist and generous rocker profile reduce effective edge contact on firm snow, so skiers who spend significant time on hardpack or in tight, icy trees may find it lacks precision and bite. Additionally, while the titanal layer adds stability, this ski is still on the playful side; strong directional skiers who prioritize power and drive at high speeds might prefer something stiffer and more traditionally cambered. For those who aren’t consistently skiing fresh or soft snow, a narrower, more versatile ski would be a better fit.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. Go longer for more float and stability at speed, or slightly shorter if you're after a quick, surfy feel in trees and tighter zones.
