DESCRIPTION

For ladies who love the energy and light weight of the Ripstick 94 W but demand a bit more performance on the top end, the Ripstick 94 W Black Edition is just the ticket. Packed with all the fun and features of the 94 W, the Black Edition has the added stiffness of even more carbon, in the form of two extra Carbon Rods and a carbon plate underfoot. This translates into a stiffer flexing ski that offers enhanced rebound and next level grip and stability for the most demanding of lady rippers.

Why we like it:

The Black Edition of the Ripstick 94 W is a powerful yet lightweight option that offers a ton of stability, energy, and versatility, offering an ideal blend of characteristics for ladies looking for a responsive, strong, energetic ski.

Who it's for:

Strong and aggressive lady skiers will love the high performance feel of the Ripstick 94 W Black Edition. It’s best for those who know how to bend a stiffer flexing ski, so advanced to expert skiers will benefit most from the added carbon of the Black Edition.

Highlights:

Elan built off the success of the Ripstick line to create their Black Edition series for the most demanding of skiers, and the Ripstick 94 W Black Edition perfectly exemplifies what they were going for. Two additional Carbon Rods have been added to the ski, and a carbon plate underfoot works in tandem with those added Rods to boost the stiffness, power, and stability of the ski. Called QuadRod and C-Ply respectively, these two technologies open up the Ripstick line to women who prefer the stiffer flex and responsiveness of a ski with metal, but don’t want to pay the weight penalty that metal brings.

Things to consider:

Compared to the Ripstick 94 W, the Black Edition requires more skier input to get the most performance out of the ski; in other words, you have to be strong enough to bend all that Carbon in order to access the energy that makes this ski so fun. Advancing intermediates would do better on something a little softer like the regular 94 W.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.

All terrain, trees, bumps, Vermont powder, good for intermediate to expert who doesn't ski super hard and is seeking a one ski quiver.
I wish it could handle higher more aggressive edge angles and higher speeds; I'm not sure how to describe the limitation, maybe lacked stability?
Overal Impression
Easy and fun, but I overpowered it easily.

Really all terrain, not the best at high speeds with aggressive angles.
I think it’s great just not for me.
Overal Impression
Super fun, reliable ski, felt easy for me to over ski it however. It wanted me to finish my turn before I was ready.

Overal Impression
I was surprised that I didn’t just love it! It was surprisingly less stable feeling compared to the black pearl, felt unstable at higher speeds and didn’t feel stable when high up on edge.
