Description
The Elan Ripstick 88 W is a lightweight, all-mountain freeride ski that brings playful energy and stability to the varied terrain. With an asymmetric Amphibio profile, camber on the inside edge and rocker on the outside, it delivers precision where you need grip and forgiveness where you want flow. The Tubelite Wood Core, reinforced with carbon rods, ensures a responsive yet smooth ride, while natural flax fiber in the tip dampens vibration. Its 88 mm waist makes it nimble enough for tighter turns but still capable in soft or variable snow. This ski is ideal for intermediate- to advanced-level women who want a ski that’s lively, light, and versatile across pistes and off-piste.
