The Elan Ripstick 106 is a benchmark ski in the lightweight freeride category, renowned for delivering powerful performance without the drag of heavy metal-reinforced skis. With a versatile 105 mm waist, this ski is engineered to be a one-quiver option, excelling in powder, chopped-up crud, and even holding a surprising edge on firm groomed terrain.
The ski’s signature feature is Elan’s proprietary Amphibio Technology, which creates dedicated left and right skis. This asymmetrical design places camber on the inside edge for stability and maximum edge contact and grip, while the outside edge features rocker for effortless turn initiation and easy maneuverability in soft snow. Under the topsheet, the TubeLite Woodcore features two lightweight carbon rods running the length of the ski, providing dynamic rebound and torsional stiffness. The ski incorporates Carbon Deck Technology with UD Carbon and Flax Fiber layers in the tips, which effectively dampens vibrations and chatter, ensuring a remarkably smooth and quiet ride at high speeds across variable snow conditions. The overall construction is playful, responsive, and incredibly light, making it a favorite for advanced and expert skiers who value quickness and efficiency.
