Elan Ripstick 96 (Powder Ski 2021/2022)

Product Summary

The Elan Ripstick 96's full retail price is €649.95. The Ski is roughly €30 cheaper than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it a mid-range model. Skilled skiers will enjoy both relaxed cruising and pushing the ski to its limit. The Ripstick 96 is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder.

The ski in details

Peak Performer: Praised by magazine testers and professional skiers alike for it's unique blend of lightweight performance, the Ripstick 96 is proven to be the ultimate freeride ski in all snow conditions.

If a smoothness indicator existed for skis, the Ripstick 96 would be off the charts! It is a true freeride ski that doubles as an all-mountain ski for those who want ultimate versatility on the mountain. It utilizes Amphibio Carbon Line Technology for dynamic power and precision and a re-shaped tip and tail taper design make it a perfect choice for every day, every turn shape, on any surface. It's wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the front side. With Amphibio profile for exceptional maneuverability and edge grip, SST sidewalls for direct power transmission, and Amphibio Carbon Line technology for stability and ease at any speed, the second generation of this multiple award winning ski provides a silky smooth ride no matter where your mountain exploration takes you.
