Elan Ripstick 96 Alpine Ski

The Elan Ripstick 96 Alpine Touring Ski is built to give you alpine like downhill performance in an all-mountain ski touring package. The Ripstick 96 Alpine Touring Ski offers a confidence boosting feel whether you're laying trenches in fresh cord, popping through bumps, or ripping your favorite backcountry pow stash. If you want to spend time in bounds and in the backcountry on one ski, the Elan Ripstick 96 Alpine Touring Ski may be the perfect ski for you. Elan threw in loads of great technology into the Ripstick to give it the performance needed for hybrid skiers. The TubeLite woodcore technology strategically places carbon rod reinforcements throughout the ski allowing the ski to flex with a true 360-degree responsiveness. Elan's VaporTip reinforcements in the tips allows these planks to remain damp enough to handle crud while remaining light enough to not burn your legs up on that extra lap up the skin track. Their SST sidewall delivers direct power transmission from ski to snow
