The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 W is the ski that the touring world has been waiting for. Lightweight, floaty, fast, stable, strong, and versatile - all at the same time. Designed by Female freeride athletes and guides demanding perfection everywhere they go, it's ground-breaking construction has allowed us to drop the weight to a minimum and push performance to the maximum, while maintaining a playful feel for all aspects of the journey. This 88 mm waisted ski is very light and easy to maneuver, yet deftly capable, making it a true modern touring ski.

The touring segment is the trend in alpinism; combining light equipment that performs in powder and remains stable in variable conditions found in the backcountry is essential. The Ripstick 88 Tour W is the perfect waist width to feel confident on descents and narrow enough for comfortable, long uphill ascents, making it the sweet spot for touring skis. At approximately 1170 g per ski, we've targeted the optimal weight for women's touring skis, without sacrificing downhill stability and performance. With carefully designed CARBON BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY, we implemented a carbon rod reinforcement to connect the energy of the ski for a smooth feel with playful rebound. The length of the reinforcement is designed to exact measures to reduce vibration and tip chatter. A reduced sidewall shape gives the ski a unique look with functional weight reduction, while full sidewalls increase edge pressure and contact. With a freeride profile and shape, we've assured this is the perfect combination of weight to performance ratio for all skiers, in any conditions found in the backcountry.

CARBON BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY

Carbon Bridge Technology, is a revolutionary solution where a single carbon is rod placed on the upper part of the ski, provides stability, dampening, and vibration absorption through the tip.
CARBON BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY
  • 1 Carbon Reinforcement
    For lightweight, powerful rebound
  • 2 360° Sidewall
    For direct power transmission at lighter weight round the clock
  • 3 Tubelite Woodcore
    Strong, Light, Dynamic
  • 4 Amphibio Profile
    Easy turning & Edge grip
CARBON BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY
Carbon Reinforcement
Carbon Reinforcement
One of the most innovative designs inadventure skiing, Elan’s carbon reinforced construction is extremely lightweight and adds torsional rigidity to create superior performance.
360° Sidewall
360° Sidewall
360° Sidewall is a unique and effective sidewall solution to maximize performance while keeping the weight low. Pyramidal shaped sidewalls are positioned throughout the whole body of the ski, to increase vibration absorption and highspeed stability.
Tubelite Woodcore
Tubelite Woodcore
To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.
Amphibio Profile
Amphibio Profile
Amphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. Amphibio skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability - while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.
