Elan Boomerang
Stability paired 16.1 with excellent performance in deep snow is the name of the game for this new ski from Elan. After the success of the men’s Boomerang last year, Elan shrank the model down to 168 cm to fulfill the women’s need for a powder stick that wasn’t necessarily playful, but was more stable for charging big lines and choppy crud. “This thing was really a confidence booster for the end of the day when your legs are tired and the snow is crap,†said one tester. “Pretty
much charges through anything.â€
