Product Summary
The Elan Ripstick 96's full retail price is €649.95. The Ski is roughly €20 cheaper than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it a mid-range model. Results in the categories 'Physical effort', 'Stability at speed', 'Edge hold', 'Short turns'and 'Long turns' were less convincing. Skilled skiers will enjoy both relaxed cruising and pushing the ski to its limit. The Ripstick 96 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. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 174 and 188cm.
