Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition (Powder Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

The Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition's full retail price is €849.95. The Ski costs roughly €190 more than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it a real premium Ski. Skilled skiers will enjoy both relaxed cruising and pushing the ski to its limit. The Ripstick 106 Black Edition is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 164 and 188cm. This ski is a real cruiser and loves long turns. With a radius from 16 m to 20.40 m (depending on the lengh of the ski) you shouldn't expect too much in short turns.

The ski in details

The search for a powder ski that destroys hardpack is officially over. Designed with Glen Plake, the new Ripstick 106 Black Edition utilizes game changing QuadRod Technology to defeat the myth that fat skis are only for soft snow, and proves hard charging skis can also be light and playful without sacrificing power and stability.

The evolution of the Ripstick Black Edition Collection sets the new standard for the powder category at impossibly high levels. Starting with Elan´s critically acclaimed TubeLite Woodcore that features two carbon rods following the sidecut of the ski, Elan then positioned two additional carbon rods in the center of the ski, in the tip and tail for optimal balance and power distribution. Next, they enhanced the Amphibio Profile by adding Carbon Line, a carbon weave placed along the inside edge for a smooth feel with great edge grip, in the tip and tail. The tech is anchored with an additional wall-to-wall layer of exclusive carbon under the binding for lightning-quick power transmission and stability, without interrupting the natural flex pattern, for unrivaled performance that is intuitively harnessed by the skier. Lastly, Elan cloaked this masterpiece in a stealth, black, camo wrap. The benchmark has been set for a lightweight, powerful ski that dominates powder and rugged terrain with versatility and ease, leaving bystanders speechless. Mic Drop.
