Elan Ripstick 106 Alpine Touring Ski

Why We Like the Elan Ripstick 106 Alpine Touring Ski

With a go big or go home design, the Elan Ripstick 106 Alpine Touring Ski screams fun for big mountain tours,bottomless pow, and resort groomers. While it seems contradictory for them to ski both light and playful and smooth and damp, its really all owed to the well-engineered design from tip to tail. With TNT technology integrating VaporTip inserts with a TubeLite Woodcore, you end up with an incredibly damp ski that remains impressively light and responsive. The SST Sidewall provides quick, nimble turn initiation and power transfer through the ski while also enhancing the torsional rigidity. This allows for a great feel and plenty of control while laying down beautiful carves.

The beauty of the Carbon Line technology engineered throughout this ski is in its asymmetrical shape which allows maximum grip and power through every turn while maintaining an intuitive, easy to ski feel. Utilizing Carbon in a 3-dimensional aspect also makes these skis to absorb energy from a crazy amount of angles. With Elan's revolutionary Amphibio technology that gives a rocker-camber profile specific to right and left skis, the Elan Ripstick 106s offer effortless turns and a powerful feel skiing through any terrain. Hitting a sweet spot with a flex pattern that really allows for a lot of skier input, you can flex these into a mean carve, especially with their radius of 18m (180cm). Crush groomers, slay powder, or show off your off-piste flair with the Elan Ripstick 106. The Elan Ripstick 106 Alpine Touring Ski really is the ski you'll never want to leave home without. Better just keep it in the truck!
