Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Elan Ripstick 96 Skis are a dream for anyone who loves versatility on the slopes. These skis are incredibly lightweight, making them perfect for those who enjoy hiking to find the best powder. The Amphibio Carbon Line Technology ensures a smooth ride, whether you're carving on groomers or floating through fresh snow. I love how easy they are to turn, especially for shorter radius turns, thanks to their unique asymmetrical design. While they might not be the best for those who prefer raw power, they offer finesse and precision that intermediate skiers will appreciate. If you're looking for a ski that can handle any condition with grace, the Ripstick 96 is a fantastic choice.

Praised by magazine testers and professional skiers alike for it's unique blend of lightweight performance, the Ripstick 96 is proven to be the ultimate freeride ski in all snow conditions.
If a smoothness indicator existed for skis, the Ripstick 96 would be off the charts! It is a true freeride ski that doubles as an all-mountain ski for those who want ultimate versatility on the mountain. It utilizes Amphibio Carbon Line Technology for dynamic power and precision and a re-shaped tip and tail taper design make it a perfect choice for every day, every turn shape, on any surface. It's wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the front side. With Amphibio profile for exceptional maneuverability and edge grip, SST sidewalls for direct power transmission, and Amphibio Carbon Line technology for stability and ease at any speed, the second generation of this multiple award winning ski provides a silky smooth ride no matter where your mountain exploration takes you.
