The Elan Ripstick 106 Skis with Bindings is a fantastic choice for skiers looking for snow performance with all mountain capabilities and a freeride flair. There's a lot to like about the soft-snow performance and a lot of it comes down to shape and profile. The Amphibio rocker profile ensures that the ski is smooth from edge to edge by rockering the outside of the ski and cambering the inside. For fresh snow, this allows for a more cohesive unit as the skis function dependently on one another rather than two separate skis. The right/left specific setup is ideal for skiers who are looking for a totally and completely unique feel in their skis. As effective as it is in the narrower skis, it's equally as impressive in the wider portion in the Ripstick line as well. Built with a wood core and carbon reinforcements, the skis are light, snappy, and energetic. The light tips are mostly due to the vapor tip technology, and these do a great job at deflecting crud and chop, keeping the ride smooth and predictable. For advanced skiers looking for a ski that’s easy to use in soft snow while still retaining strong performance on groomed and firmer terrain, the Elan Ripstick 106 is a fantastic option in the wider shape. Fun, floaty, and light, the Elan Ripstick 106 Skis with Bindings continues the growing trend for wider-bodied all-mountain skis being able to handle a wide variety of conditions and terrain.
