The 2027 Elan Wingman 83 Ti brings increased playfulness to the high performance carving platform Wingman is known for. An entirely new shape and construction allows for quick and effortless initiation, intuitive and easy release from the turn, and reliable grip underfoot, for a ski that is strong and predictable in the best of ways.

Why we like it:

It’s a more versatile version of the strong carver we know and love.

Who it's for:

For frontside skiers who spend their time on groomers and like to make short turns, the Wingman 83 Ti is a great choice.

Highlights:

The much-loved Wingman lineup has undergone a complete revision for this year, and thanks to some pretty major changes is better than ever. Elan continues with their asymmetrical design; the Wingman 83 Ti gets a poplar and paulownia wood core with asymmetrical carbon and metal reinforcements, which provides significant grip on firm snow. Thanks to a squared off tip, turn intitation is quick and intuitive, while a more rounded tail akin to that of the Ripstick provides easy release and a nimble feel.

Things to consider:

The 83 Ti is quite a quick ski with a turn radius of 15 meters in the 174cm length; skiers who prefer to make big, long arcs at very high speeds may want to jump up to the Wingman 86 Ti, which offers the same construction and performance in a wider platform with a longer turn radius.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; selection should be made based on height, weight, and preferred terrain and skiing style.
