Description
Stepping into the Ripstick 88 W means stepping into one of the most trusted all-mountain skis on the mountain, built for the skier who wants one pair that handles the whole day without a second thought.
This is a women's all-mountain ski built for groomers, bumps, trees, and everything in between, at home whether you're cruising blue runs or pushing into steeper, firmer terrain. Elan's Amphibio profile gives it dedicated left and right skis, camber on the inside edge for grip and rocker on the outside edge for easy, forgiving turn entry, so it never feels hooky or demanding underfoot. CarbonDeck construction pairs a poplar and paulownia Tubelite wood core with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon strips for a light, lively feel that still holds an edge when things get firm.
- Amphibio Profile for confident grip without a hooky feel
- CarbonDeck construction for a light, energetic ride
- Sintered base for reliable glide across changing snow
Best for intermediate to advanced women skiers who want a versatile, everyday all-mountain ski that feels equally at home on groomers, in the bumps, and cruising through trees.
