Who it's for:

Advancing intermediates on up to expert level skiers will find there’s a lot to like about the Ripstick 94 W. This ski has a huge sweet spot, meaning it performs really well in a variety of different conditions and terrain for a variety of different skier types.

Highlights:

Offering power and responsiveness in a friendly package, the Ripstick 94 is loved by women for good reason. The Amphibio Rocker Profile provides the precision of camber with the versatility of rocker, while Elan’s use of Carbon Rods in the 94 mimics the snow-gripping characteristics of metal without the weight penalty. In keeping with this lightweight design, Flax Fibre is placed in the tip of the ski to help reduce chatter by damping vibrations at high speed, providing a smooth ride in variable conditions.

Things to consider:

Skiers who are more aggressive, heavier, or who are used to a ski with metal in it might find that they hit the ceiling of the Ripstick 94 and would do better on a ski with more robust construction.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. Heavier or more aggressive skiers may want to size up to get the most out of the ski.
