Elan Ripstick Skis

The Ripstick is a true all-mountain performer. With a 96mm waist, it is wide enough to handle soft snow and backcountry powder, but the construction is agile enough to carve cleanly on groomed resort runs.

Amphibio technology uses an asymmetrical design, meaning there is a dedicated left and right ski. The inside edge is cambered for precise edge grip, while the outside edge is rockered to make turn initiation smoother and more intuitive.

Not at all. The Ripstick features a medium flex, which is forgiving enough for intermediate skiers to progress, yet stable enough for advanced and expert riders to push hard on variable terrain.

The flax fiber layer is specifically designed to dampen vibrations. It helps neutralize chatter when you are skiing through choppy, uneven snow, resulting in a smoother and more composed ride without adding significant weight.

Yes, 96mm is widely considered the 'sweet spot' for an all-mountain ski. It provides enough surface area for float in softer snow while remaining narrow enough to roll quickly from edge to edge on hardpack.

This construction integrates carbon tubes directly into the wood core. It provides excellent torsional stability and responsiveness, allowing the ski to feel snappy and energetic without the heavy weight typically associated with high-performance skis.
