Elan Ripstick 88 (2026): The All-Mountain Revolution

When you're looking for that one-ski quiver, the one you can grab without hesitation no matter what the mountain has in store, you're dreaming of the Ripstick 88. This freeride ski is a true marvel of versatility, designed for skiers who want a single companion for all their adventures, from freshly groomed runs to chutes filled with light snow!

What makes the Ripstick 88 so special is its innovative Amphibio profile. It's a technology that completely changed my perception of skiing. The idea is simple but brilliant: a cambered inside edge for flawless grip and stability on hard snow, and a rockered outside edge for effortless float and incredibly smooth turn initiation. From the very first turns, you feel an incredible sense of confidence. The ski almost turns on its own, with an intuitive feel that pushes you to charge harder!

But the magic doesn't stop there. These Elan skis feature Carbon Deck Technology—carbon rods and strips that provide just the right amount of stiffness for dynamic rebound and explosive power out of turns. This is all wrapped in an incredibly lightweight 3D construction, reinforced with natural flax fibers that absorb vibrations. The result? A stable and powerful all-mountain ski that never wears you out.

With its 88mm waist, it's the ultimate Swiss Army knife. It's narrow enough to link carved turns with surgical precision on groomers, yet wide enough to venture off-piste and have fun in fresh snow. It’s the perfect freeride ski for those who refuse to choose.
