Elan Ripstick 106 (Powder Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

The Elan Ripstick 106's full retail price is 749,95 €. The Ski costs roughly 70 € more than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. 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 164 to 188cm. This ski is a real cruiser and loves long turns. With a radius from 16 m to 20,40 m (depending on the lengh of the ski) you shouldn't expect too much in short turns.

The ski in details

The Ripstick 106 is the ultimate freeride ski for any terrain. From boundary line to base lodge, peak to parking lot, and trailhead to tailgate this ski excels in all conditions. 

There's a fine line to walk when building your freeride quiver - the widest skis lack performance on hardpack, while narrower skis don't offer enough floatation, causing you fall behind your buddies on deep days. The Ripstick 106 with Amphibio Carbon Line Technology is the solution, as it's the perfect width for a one-ski quiver and offers an unmatched duo of grip and floatation. It's built for skiers seeking exceptional performance while exploring the entire mountain. 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. Amphibio profile, Carbon Rods, and SST Sidewall supply the perfect blend of power, smoothness, maneuverability, and precision.
