Elan Ripstick 88 W

Elan Ripstick 88 W

From storm days at the resort to ripping groomers to backcountry pow the Ripstick collection is globally recognised for instilling skiers with confidence across all conditions and terrain. Featuring award-winning technology, versatile shapes, and a range of sizes, these lightweight skis deliver heavyweight performance, empowering skiers to unleash their full potential from the first chair to the last run. New for this season, the Ripstick has been given new geometry for more centered feel. The Ripstick geometry has been reshaped to deliver improved balance and more confidence in challenging terrain. By shifting the radius of the ski forward, while slightly decreasing tip width and increasing tail width, we’ve ensured the best of both worlds; amazing flotation in soft snow and intuitive turn entry and exit. And also new construction makes the Ripstick even lighter. Ripstick’s weight has been reduced by 5% for even better maneuverability, while size specific UD Carbon reinforcement ensures a consistent flex pattern throughout the collection. The addition of flax fiber to the tip of the ski reduces vibration, resulting in a ski that is lighter and smoother. The Ripstick 88 W is the perfect option to transition seamlessly through any condition with control on groomed slopes and float in powder.
