Who would love these

These skis are perfect for adventurous skiers who love both backcountry and resort skiing. They're ideal for those who appreciate a lightweight, versatile ski that performs well in various conditions.

Why I recommend these

Lightweight versatility
Smooth, stable ride
Great edge control

Expert verdict

The Elan Ripstick 106 Skis are a dream for those who love exploring every inch of the mountain. What sets them apart is their lightweight design, making them perfect for both backcountry adventures and resort days. The TNT Technology and Amphibio Profile ensure a smooth, stable ride, even on the trickiest terrains. I love how they handle both powder and groomers with ease. However, if you're a speed demon who craves metal-reinforced skis, these might feel a bit too forgiving. But for most skiers, their versatility and ease of use make them a top pick.

Bryant Leech tested this product
I will start this by saying I am not the target market for this ski. Elan loves to talk about how fun, cruising, and playful this ski is, and while I do enjoy those characteristics in a ski, it's not my typical way of interacting with the mountains. This ski is light and very accessible to a vast majority of... Read more

max pilling owns this product
The Elan Ripstick is a pretty unique ski. It is super lightweight but also stiff thanks to carbon construction. It is easy to throw around and maneuver but it likes to stay on edge when you are on groomers. The stiffness adds to stability, while the asymmetrical design means you have a specific left and right ski, which helps a... Read more
Ideal for
  • Lightweight and stiff
  • Great in powder and softer snow
  • Asymmetrical design helps with carving
Not ideal for
  • Can get knocked around in choppy snow

Joshua Brower tested this product
I tested this ski while skiing/touring at the resort the most and found it to be a great candidate for that. The ski is light enough to tour well, but also stable enough to be able to be skied hard on the way down. I wouldn't seek out this ski first, if I was doing big objectives in the backcountry,...

Ideal for
  • The 106 makes for a great 50/50 ski
  • Very stable at speed, no clattering
  • Performs very well in crud/hardpack for a 106
Not ideal for

I started with spencer in mid to early january and told him that i wouldnt be able to make an actual purchase until mid february. He constantly gave me updates on item availability and continuously found me new items through the entire month that catered to my preferences as i gave them to him. He might just be the best customer service ive ever experienced to date with anything.

I was in the process of picking out some ski equipment and I got matched with Gary. He was amazing answered every question I had and gave me his opinion on if I was looking into something that was not going to be right for me. He was beyond knowledgeable and it felt like I could come to him with anything. Even when I took a few days to do some more research and make sure I wanted to buy the things that were in my cart he would check in often to make sure I had now other questions. Absolutely top tier easily the best customer service I have ever had when making a big purchase like this.

5 /5
Ethan was responsive and very helpful in getting me started with some gear. Having some very limited knowledge in skiing, Ethan was able to provide some great suggestions on narrowing down equipment given my budget and preferred style. He helped me save a ton of time, rather than doing hours of research trying to guess on what would suit me best. With his knowledge I have confidence that I was able to make a smart purchase that I will not regret.

I had a great experience working with Ian.
