The 2027 Elan Ripstick 96 Skis are designed for versatile performance across groomers, trees, bumps, powder, and mixed snow. This updated generation adds strength and stability while maintaining the lightweight, agile feel that has made the Ripstick 96 approachable for a broad range of skiers. A revised rocker profile supports smooth turn initiation and maneuverability, while redesigned tip and tail shaping helps the ski feel more composed on firm snow and in chopped-up conditions.
With a 96 mm waist, Karuba wood core, carbon reinforcement, and Elan’s Amphibio Profile, the Ripstick 96 balances responsive handling with added support at speed. It is suited to skiers seeking a nimble daily driver that can carve groomers and transition comfortably into off-trail terrain without feeling overly demanding.
