The 2027 Elan Ripstick 84 W with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings is the narrowest ski in the women's line, built for resort skiing with a frontside bias. It carries the Carbon Deck construction in a shape and flex that put nimbleness, ease, and groomer performance ahead of off-trail capability. We paired the Ripstick 84 W with the Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW because of the Attack’s light weight and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. Thanks to a 15% reduction in weight, the Attack LYT 11 is the perfect binding option for lighter weight freeriders, and keeps this setup on the lighter side without sacrificing power or performance.

Why we like it:

Confidence is the word that keeps coming up. Between the light Carbon Deck build, the softer flex, and the Early Rise Rocker, the ski just feels easy underfoot, which is exactly what you want whether you are working on technique or settling in for a long, happy day at the resort.

Who it's for:

Women skiing mostly at the resort, from intermediate to advanced, who want a confidence-inspiring ride that is easy to handle. It suits anyone developing their skills and looking for a ski that actively helps them along.

Highlights:

Like the unisex 84, this one swaps the Amphibio profile for an Early Rise Rocker, a tip that rises gently for relaxed turn entry over camber that still bites underfoot. The women's build then goes a step softer: the dual-wood layup is tuned to the lightest, most confidence-friendly flex in the women's line. An 84 mm waist keeps it easy to swing and most intuitive right where it belongs, on the groomers. Fine-tuned for 2027, the Attack LYT 11 is designed to bring the ideal level of safety and performance to skiers looking for a light weight binding for a wide-bodied all-mountain or freeride ski. The new FR LYT Toe is 15% lighter, and offers a sliding AFD for precise and reliable release as well as plenty of elastic travel. Tyrolia’s SX FR Heel is easy to step into, offering an intuitive and frustration-free experience whether you’re stepping into your skis to start your day, or cleaning up from a pow day yardsale.

Things to consider:

This is a frontside-focused ski, so soft snow and off-trail performance trail the wider Ripsticks. The softer flex is a gift for progression, though stronger or heavier skiers may want a stiffer build.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It sizes true. Newer skiers may prefer a slightly shorter length for the easiest handling, while more confident skiers can add length for speed and stability.
