2027 Elan Ripstick 88 Skis
Description
The Ripstick 88 delivers confident frontside carving without the harsh, demanding feel of a heavier metal-laminate ski, which is exactly why it's become one of Elan's most trusted all-mountain models.
Amphibio profile gives it a dependable, predictable turn initiation and follow-through, while the Tubelite Wood Core, built with two lightweight carbon tubes inside a laminated wood core, keeps it light and easy to manage. Asymmetrical carbon reinforcement adds edge grip precisely where it's needed, and the 88mm waist keeps it equally at home on groomers, in the woods, or working through bumps.
- Predictable, dependable turn initiation without a hooky feel
- Asymmetrical carbon reinforcement for added edge grip
Best for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a truly versatile all-mountain ski that's equally happy on-trail and off.
