Big-Mountain Precision Meets Carbon-Powered Confidence – Built for Hard-Charging Freeriders
The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition in 182 cm is the ultimate expression of freeride performance. This premium, carbon-reinforced version of Elan’s acclaimed Ripstick 102 is tailored for expert skiers who demand more stability, power, and precision—without the weight penalty. It delivers elite-level handling across deep powder, wind-affected steeps, and firm, technical descents.
At its core is Elan’s signature Amphibio profile, featuring camber on the inside edge for grip and rocker on the outside edge for smooth transitions. The TubeLite woodcore is enhanced with QuadRod Reinforcement—four carbon rods for maximum rebound and edge stability—and Carbon Line Technology to boost torsional stiffness along the inside edge. VaporTip inserts in the tip and tail absorb vibration, allowing the ski to stay composed through chop, crud, and hardpack.
The 182 cm length is tuned for freeriders who need long-radius stability, high-speed confidence, and precise edge hold—ideal for advanced to expert skiers who want to ski fast, go big, and stay in control.
