Elan Ripstick 106 (Powder Ski 2019/2020)

Product Summary

The Elan Ripstick 106's full retail price is €699.95. The Ski costs roughly €20 more than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. During our extensive review the Ski proved to be easy to master as well as very stable at speed. Moreover he proved to be a ski with excellent edge hold. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The Ripstick 106 is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. The ski is available from 167 to 188cm.

The ski in details

The Ripstick 106 is the ultimate ski for variable terrain from boundary line to base lodge, peak to parking lot, and trailhead to tailgate. Life can get complicated when choosing your freeride quiver. Fatties may leave something to be desired on hardpack in the backcountry, while on narrower sticks you fall behind your buddies on deep days. The Ripstick 106 is the solution, as it's the perfect width for a one-ski backcountry quiver. It's designed for skiers that seek exceptional performance while exploring all the mountain has to offer. It's a smooth ride no matter where you take it - front side, steeps, trees, or exploring untouched terrain, this lightweight versatile ski is up for any challenge. The addition of TNT Technology, Amphibio profile and SST Sidewall supply the power, smoothness, maneuverability and precision.
