Top-Tier Freeride Performance for Aggressive Skiers Who Want It All – Power, Float, and Speed
The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition in 189 cm is built for elite skiers pushing boundaries in big-mountain terrain. It’s the longest and most stable option in the Ripstick Black lineup, engineered for high-speed confidence, effortless powder float, and responsive edge control in a lightweight, carbon-reinforced package. This ski is designed to go fast, go deep, and stay in control—no matter what the mountain throws your way.
What sets the Black Edition apart is its premium construction. Elan integrates QuadRod Reinforcement—four carbon tubes within the TubeLite woodcore—alongside Carbon Line Technology and VaporTip inserts, reducing chatter while enhancing edge grip and power transmission. The Amphibio profile delivers unmatched precision and ease of turn initiation by assigning rocker to the outside edge and camber to the inside.
At 189 cm, this ski is optimized for taller, stronger, or more aggressive skiers who want maximum surface area, stability, and directional control when charging steep lines or navigating variable snow at speed.
