WINGMAN 86 TI SKIS - 2023

The 2023 Elan Wingman 86 Ti returns unchanged for this year, allowing skiers in the advanced category another crack at a great ski with a ton of versatility and personality to it. These skis have a ton of energy and agility, and while they lack the carbon stiffness of the CTi version, they still have the damp power of the metal that makes them stand out in a pretty crowded field of mid-80's front side cruisers. Built with a fully laminated wood core, a single sheet of titanal, and reinforced material over the inside portions of the ski, the Wingman 86 Ti is strong and stable—willing to put up with hard charging skiers who are looking for the pinnacle of performance. In the 178, the skis produce a 16.5-meter turn radius which is right in the middle of good and awesome when it comes to blending the front side with all-mountain—you want a ski that comes around cleanly in a turn, and the Wingman 86 Ti is just that ski. As an asymmetric ski, there’s some unique and interesting stuff going on here, and skiers love the smoothness and energy out of these skis, and likely will for years to come.
