This ski is a one stop shop. Provides great stability at high speeds and really doesn't change from groomers to powder. I am currently on this ski, and have been extremely satisfied. I feel very comfortable carving at high speeds as the edges hold super solid. Highly recommended ski for the advanced/expert skier.
Ideal for
- All mountain
- Powder
- Backcountry
Not ideal for
- heavier ski for backcountry
The Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition Skis are the ultimate powder ski that can handle hardpack with ease. Designed in collaboration with Glen Plake, these skis feature QuadRod Technology that challenges the notion that fat skis are only for soft snow. The TubeLite Woodcore is enhanced with four carbon rods for optimal balance and power distribution, while the Amphibio Profile is reinforced with Carbon Line for a smooth feel and great edge grip. An additional wall-to-wall layer of exclusive carbon under the binding ensures lightning-quick power transmission and stability without interrupting the natural flex pattern.
Key Features:
- QuadRod Technology: Four carbon rods enhance the TubeLite Woodcore for optimal balance and power distribution.
- Carbon Line: A carbon weave placed along the inside edge of the Amphibio Profile provides a smooth feel and great edge grip.
- Wall-to-Wall Carbon Layer: An exclusive layer of carbon under the binding ensures lightning-quick power transmission and stability without interrupting natural flex pattern.
- Stealth Camo Wrap: The black camo wrap gives these skis a sleek, stealthy look.
- Lightweight Design: Despite their powerful performance capabilities, these skis remain lightweight for easy maneuverability on rugged terrain.

Daniela was very good at incorporating her experiences with equipment to answer my questions. She was very responsive to my concerns and all of the interactions were helpful. She knows the Curated resources very well and also shared many of those throughout my search. I highly recommend her.

This is the first time I used an expert to help me shop. I was surprised by how easy and time saving it was and comforting to have expert advice on expensive equipment! Matthew was efficient and encouraging and asked many questions. I feel confident I made the best choice and appreciate his attention to detail.

Alex is the best!!! 💯🙌🏻
5 /5
I’m brand new to snowboarding (but have done other board sports🏄🏻♀️🛹) and know nothing about snowboarding! I’m so thankful for Alex because he was able to find me the perfect board, bindings and boots - all within my budget! He also was able to answer all my questions and get back to me fast! On top of which he checked on me after I received my products to ensure everything fit right and was to my liking which I really appreciate! 😊 Lastly he reminded me of my credits that I had from my first purchase and recommend multiple options for things I can spend it on that are easily forgotten about when your new to snowboarding (even though they’re kinda important - such as gloves, goggles, travel case, etc). Definitely will be recommending Alex to all my friends who are interested in getting into snowboarding and for other friends who are planning on changing snowboards but not sure what is best for them! And for sure will be a returning client - when it’s time to change my gear! 😊🏂

Ethan was fantastic
5 /5
I was doing my own research and it was exhausting to be honest. Saw a youtube video and decided to give this a try. Thank goodness I did. Ethan pointed me in the right direction and even recommended some things I was already interested in. Was able to purchase with confidence and that goes a long way. Good looking out Ethan

Smooth, Easy Experience for a Beginner
5 /5
I’ve spent the last several months researching and accumulating gear for the upcoming season— as a beginner, there is a lot of information out there, and choosing the right board and accessories can be daunting and confusing. Nate went above and beyond to not only make great recommendations for me but to give me lots of choices based on price point, style, goals, and more. He answered all of my questions and was always more than willing to chat with me about all things snowboard. Highly recommend Nate for all your snow sport needs!

Extremely helpful for first time customer!
5 /5
I just recently started snowboarding and finally committed to getting my own gears instead of renting. Nick was above and beyond every step of the way! He was able to provide the best recommendations in terms of both quality and skill level while being conscious of my budget. I ran into a bit of a hiccup when I tried price matching with curated and missed out on a deal unfortunately. However, Nick was ever persistent and did everything in his power to get me some store credits which eventually helped me get an even better deal than the one I tried to price-match originally! Highly highly recommend Nick for anyone who is looking to pick up some quality Snowboard gears that are best suited for you while being budget-friendly!!
