Ripstick 96 Black Edition

The Ripstick 96 Black Edition is an all-mountain ski from Elan, 96 mm underfoot at 182 cm, for skiers who split their days between groomed runs and off piste. Elan built it to balance on-piste precision with off-piste exploration, and the Black Edition carbon adds power and an ultra-smooth feel. It’s finished all in black.

Unidirectional carbon bands along the edges add torsional stability for a more responsive, agile ski without added weight, and slanted sidewalls send the skier’s energy to the snow directly. Elan’s Amphibio design gives each ski an asymmetric profile and build for its foot, for easy turning and grip. At 182 cm the turn radius is 17.8 m and the ski weighs about 1,640 g.
