Elan Ripstick 96 Snow Ski

When your day begins with fresh corduroy and ends as a surprise powder day with friends, Ripstick 96 is the ultimate ski for turning good days into great ones.

With countless awards, Ripstick 96 has established itself as the cornerstone of Elan's freeride collection. Now in its third generation, Amphibio Profile still delivers an uncompromising trio of grip, rebound, and maneuverability, with an even smoother and more stable ride, thanks to new Carbon Deck Technology. Carbon rods and unidirectional carbon bands are placed strategically along the edges to deliver a seriously responsive and silky-smooth ride at a ridiculously light weight. Access to effortless power and additional vibration damping is enhanced by a new 3D trapezoid shape reinforced by environmentally friendly and lightweight Flax Fiber. Whether you prefer a wider footprint for everyday skiing at the resort or are looking for all-mountain versatility for changing conditions, Ripstick 96 is recognized for its ability to turn good times on the hill into great memories.

Carbon Deck Technology combines the powerful rebound of Tubelite Woodcore, with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon (UD) edge bands. These combined technologies provide powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for superior response and a smooth ride.
