All new for 2025, Elan brings us the Wildcat 82 CTi, a ski that takes the lightweight energy of last year’s Wildcat 82 C and adds a layer of Titanal for added stability and power through chop, crud, and everything in between. As a directional frontside carving ski, the 82 CTi offers incredible control and precision on piste. A wide tip provides instant and effortless turn initiation, while the squared off tail allows skiers to finish the turn with lots of energy and rebound.

Why we like it:

The Wildcat 82 CTi carves up groomers like a hot knife through butter, and offers lady rippers a quick, responsive, and powerful option for frontside performance with a touch of all-mountain influence.

Who it's for:

High level lady skiers who are looking for a more frontside oriented ski will love the Wildcat 82 CTi’s responsive, powerful, and stable feel on trail. If you’re the kind of skier that makes lots of quick, racy turns, you’ll love the 82 CTi.

Highlights:

The Elan Wildcat 82 CTi is an all-new ski for 2025, and offers demanding skiers an impressively strong, stable, and playful frontside experience. A Tubelite Woodcore blends lightweight wood with carbon, providing stability and a predictable flex; Elan adds Carbon Rods to amp up the rebound for an energetic release out of the turn. A Titanal laminate adds dampness and stability for the ultimate in smooth, high-performance carving.

Things to consider:

The Wildcat 82 CTi is most definitely a frontside carver, so those looking for a more all mountain oriented ski would do better on something a touch wider and more versatile. Intermediate skiers can find a place with the 82 CTi, but Advanced and Expert skiers will get the most out of the 82 CTi.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
