The 2027 Elan Ripstick 94 W with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings is the do-everything ski in the women's line, at a width that splits the difference between carving and float. It is built on the Carbon Deck platform with a softer flex and lighter weight than the unisex Ripsticks, which makes it friendlier to a wider range of skiers without losing the energy the line is loved for. We paired the Ripstick 94 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:

The first thing you notice is how little it weighs. Elan has always built genuinely light skis that somehow never feel flimsy, and the 94 W carries that forward; paired with the Carbon Deck build, it feels eager and quick without ever asking to be muscled around.

Who it's for:

Intermediate through expert women skiers after a versatile all-mountain ski that handles groomers, mixed snow, and the occasional powder day with equal confidence. It is a great choice for anyone who wants energy and rebound without the weight of a metal ski.

Highlights:

The 94 mm waist makes this the women's do-it-all width, and the build keeps it easy to enjoy. A naturally light Tubelite woodcore gives it energy and a low swing weight, and the Flax fibre layer does a quietly excellent job of smoothing chatter, so the ski feels more composed in variable snow than its weight suggests. The Amphibio profile is easy to start a turn on and firm once you commit, which is exactly what a do-everything ski should be. 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:

The 94 W leans a touch toward the carving end of all-mountain, so if you are chasing soft snow or storm days, the 100 W or 106 W will give you noticeably more float. The flex is softer than the unisex version, so very strong, aggressive skiers may want more backbone.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Stay with your usual length, then tune to terrain: shorter for a quick, lively feel in trees and bumps, longer for stability when you open it up.
