The Elan Ripstick 88 is an exceptionally versatile all-mountain ski for skiers who spend most of their time on groomers but want the freedom to explore beyond them when conditions allow. Quick edge-to-edge and confidence-inspiring on hardpack, it delivers outstanding grip, precision, and smooth turn transitions while remaining agile and forgiving in mixed snow. The lightweight Tubelite Woodcore, Carbon Deck Technology, and carbon rod reinforcement create a lively, energetic feel without sacrificing stability, while Flax Fiber helps absorb vibration for a smoother ride at speed. With enough width to handle fresh snow and Elan’s signature Amphibio Technology enhancing both edge hold and maneuverability, the Ripstick 88 is a true all-mountain companion that feels equally at home carving groomers, navigating variable conditions, or floating through a surprise powder day.
