The Ripstick Tour 104 is Glen Plake's signature touring ski, built light for long skins and wide enough to make the descent worth the climb. A laminated woodcore with carbon and fiberglass keeps weight down on the way up, and Elan's asymmetrical Amphibio design holds on icy traverses while releasing easily in soft snow. A strong partner for Cascade backcountry days, from spring corn on Mt. Hood to deep midwinter tree skiing.
