The Elan Ripstick 96 is the ski for riders who refuse to choose between powder days and groomer laps. Equally at home weaving through tight trees, floating through fresh snow, or laying down powerful carves on corduroy, the Ripstick 96 delivers an exceptional blend of versatility, stability, and playfulness. Elan’s Carbon Deck Technology, Tubelite Woodcore, and strategically placed carbon rods create a ski that feels remarkably light and energetic, while Flax Fiber and UD Carbon enhance smoothness and stability when conditions get rough. The unique Amphibio Technology gives each ski a dedicated left and right design, maximizing edge grip and confidence through every turn. Lightweight enough for all-day adventures yet powerful enough to charge when conditions demand it, the Ripstick 96 is a true do-it-all all-mountain ski built to inspire confidence anywhere on the mountain.
