RIPSTICK 88 SKIS - 2024
The Elan Ripstick 88 Skis are the narrowest offering waist wise in the Ripstick line up. At 88-millimeters underfoot, that quick, agile and light. Built with a tubelite wood core, Elan uses carbon rods that run the length of the sides of the ski, and these energize the ski when it’s in a turn, giving a ton of feedback into the next turn. The tube/rod design is a very successful use of carbon, but they do not stop there. Carbon Line technology boosts the stiffness and response of the inside edges of the ski, allowing for better grip on the groomers without adding weight. The Ripstick 88 also uses Elan’s Amphibio rocker profile, placing more rocker on the outside edges and more camber on the inside edges. This creates an incredibly smooth transition between turns, with seamless maneuverability and endless fun. If you’re looking for a ski that’s equally at home in the bumps and trees as it is on the steeps and groomers, the Elan Ripstick 88 should certainly be on the list. You can make a huge number of different turn shapes and styles, all while keeping control and having fun. If you live and ski regularly in the Northeast and are looking for a great one ski quiver, the Elan Ripstick 88 Skis will deliver unparalleled performance time and time again.
