Expert verdict
The Elan Playmaker 101 Skis are a blast for those who love a playful ride. With a 101mm waist, they offer great versatility across different terrains. The twin-tip design is perfect for skiers who enjoy freestyle moves, while the Tubelite Wood core keeps them light and lively. They excel in powder, thanks to their float, and are easy to maneuver, making them ideal for both park laps and tree runs. However, they require a balanced stance for carving, so they might not be the best for those who prefer aggressive carving. Overall, they're a fun, poppy choice for adventurous skiers.

Playmaker 101 perfectly blends the confident performance of a freeride ski with the personality of a freestyle twin. From pillows and spines, to wind lips and jump lines the 101 waist delivers the versatility to crush top to bottom laps in any condition and terrain.

Henry Kvietok tested this product
A new ski from Elan for 2024, the Elan Playmaker 101 is for those with a very playful style who love to boost off-side hits, hop in the park, and hit rails but still want the versatility for off-piste runs and powder days. For a 101-waisted ski, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of float that these skis offer.... Read more
Ideal for
- Lightweight and easy to swing around
- Playful (hence the name) ride feel, yet some stiffness underfoot for edge hold
- Versatile 101 width - not too wide to get on edge and carve, but wide enough to float in soft stuff
Not ideal for
- Some tip chatter at high speeds (40 to 50+ mph) on the hardpack, but this is not what the ski is made for

Lucia L tested this product
I found the Elan Playmaker to be a fun and playful ski. At first, the lightweight was different than the hard-charging skis I am used to, and the tips felt a bit squirly. They have a softish tip which is playful, but takes a little to get used to. Once I got used to the way the skis rode, they... Read more
Ideal for
- Super light ski with light swing
- Still gets on edge and carves
- Playful tip and tail
Not ideal for
- Can be chattery at high speeds
- Tips feel squirly when charging
- Not the best ski for beginners in the offpiste

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon Nailed My Snowboard Setup!

Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

Tyler was super helpful!
5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.
5 /5
Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board
5 /5
I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
