Why I recommend these
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.
