The Ripstick 106 was designed to take on the biggest, baddest terrain your local ski hill throws at you. Carbon tubes running the length of the ski and following the arc of the sidecut yield torsional strength while reducing weight, allowing you to torque them to kingdom come without compromise. Lightweight composite material implemented into the tip and tail reduce chatter, no matter how cruddy and firm the snow is. Testers called the Ripstick 106, “quite the charger” and thought it was, “very adept at high speed through the chop or on the groomers.” It’s no slouch in the soft snow, either, thanks to Elan’s unique Amphibio profile which features camber on the inside edge and rocker on the outside for supreme pivoting ability.
