New 2023 Women's Elan Ripstick 88 W skis; size: 162

Are you an east coaster? Or a western skier that just tends to gravitate towards groomed trails more than off-piste? Regardless of where you land, lady rippers can rejoice in the Elan Ripstick 88W. The Ripstick 88W remains a top pick for ladies prioritizing a quick and responsive ride. A lightweight construction that's reinforced with carbon in several key places, along with Elan's patented Amphibio design provides the Ripstick 88W with a truly impressive combination of weight, carvability, energy, and maneuverability. The rocker design and lightweight make it exceptionally easy to pivot and release from a carve as needed, while the carbon reinforcement on the inside edges ensures you'll be smiling anytime you lay this ski over on a groomer. If you love the idea of the Ripstick, but are searching for something even more piste-oriented, take a look at Elan's Wildcat series which shares a similar construction but offers a longer effective edge and slightly stiffer platform for carving.
