ELAN X TIPSY CANOE DESIGNS:

designed in canada 

handcrafted in the alps!

‘To tell the stories of the people and places of a small town through functional artwork’ is the aim of a Canadian brand Tipsy Canoe Designs started by Caitlin Barter in the summer of 2016.

Caitlin is a 20-something from Cascapedia, Quebec, who merged her love of the outdoors and painting to create one of a kind canoe paddles inspired by the Gaspesie and the small towns she’s traveled to and through.

Her style didn’t go unnoticed by Elan W Studio. One pair of skis was exclusively prepared for Caitlin to be painted on, giving us at Elan a unique design we used to produce a limited edition of Ripsticks 94.

RIPSTICK 94 W

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Created by women, the Ripstick 94 W is perfect for any adventure. You can trust this ski is the right choice, no matter what the conditions.

Don’t let the color fool you, the Ripstick 94 W packs a punch and was designed for women freeriders that are addicted to the mountain. It is the perfect match for ladies who are going after good times on the whole mountain. It will take you anywhere and everywhere you want to go in all snow conditions.

INSPIRATION

FOR THE DESIGN

The design inspiration for Elan skis are of Canadian mountains. Rugged, big and bold, jutting like the Rocky Mountains, part of the design makes a big impact with geometric triangles of colour and depth. Smooth, layered, and plentiful colour mimics the Appalachian Mountains. Together we have elements of big and loud but also quiet yet impactful - resulting in a design inspired by the Canadian landscape as a whole.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

'WE CREATE SKIS WITH PEOPLE WHO INSPIRE'

Handcrafted skis 100% made in the Alps for over 70 years, created the W Studio in 2003 to develop the best women’s skis available. Sixteen years later, the Elan W Studio celebrates countless innovations the focus group has brought to life and looks forward to an exciting 2019/20 season with creating the skis with people who inspire. Our technology and innovation isn't just found in our adult models though. It reaches all the way to our junior lineup and delivers proven technology that helps younger skiers learn faster and have more fun.
