THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE RIPSTICK FAMILY, the Elan Ripstick 94 W Black Edition brings Elan’s pedal-to-the-metal QuadRod construction to the ladies collection. Featuring four carbon tubes that bolster the ski’s precision without adding significant weight, Elan Ripstick 94 W Black Edition shines in the firm stuff. “This ski carves through hardpack like a hot knife through butter, but that added carbon takes the stability up to the next level. Lay ‘em over and let the ski do the rest. Once you set the carve, there’s nothing knocking this ski off the tracks,” say the FREESKIER testers. The maneuverable, 94-mm waist allows you to roll effortlessly from edge- to-edge while maintaining the comfort of all-terrain control, no matter what gear you shift into.
