Elan Ripstick Skis

These are true all-mountain skis designed to handle a mix of conditions. With an 88mm waist, they are narrow enough to carve cleanly on groomed runs but wide enough to manage some light fresh snow or chopped-up afternoon crud.

The Amphibio profile uses a specific design where the inside edge is cambered for grip and the outside edge is rockered for easier turn initiation. This makes the ski feel very intuitive, allowing you to engage the turn smoothly while maintaining stability throughout the arc.

The Ripstick strikes a balance between performance and accessibility. Thanks to the lightweight TubeLite woodcore and flax fiber reinforcement, they are energetic and responsive without feeling overly stiff or punishing, making them a great choice for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a lively ride.

Yes, the full sidewall construction combined with the carbon reinforcement provides reliable edge grip. While they aren't dedicated race skis, they are more than capable of holding a solid edge on firm resort corduroy.

The carbon rods and deck technology are there to add snap and rebound. This helps the ski pop out of turns and provides a stable, damp feel that absorbs vibrations, which helps keep the ride smooth when you pick up speed.
