For the experienced, intermediate to expert riders who look for power and precision in a ski, the Elan Ripstick 96 Skis utilize Carbon Deck technology that fuses the TubeLite woodcore with carbon rods and UD carbon for explosive rebound, torsional rigidity, and a stable, board-like feel that smooths out rough terrain. The Amphibio Profile features a cambered inside edge for aggressive grip on firm snow and a rockered outside edge for effortless turn initiation, while Flax Fibre adds vibration control to reduce chatter without killing energy. Slanted Sidewall Technology delivers forceful power transmission with less weight, and the sintered running base ensures exceptionally sleek, high-speed gliding across everything from groomers to soft chop. Whether you're carving corduroy or exploring variable conditions, this ski offers the rebound, edge control, and stable ride that advancing skiers need to push harder and ski longer.
