Elan Ripstick 88 Black Edition Skis 2027

The Elan Ripstick 88 Black Edition is an all-mountain ski that takes the best-selling 88mm Ripstick platform and cranks up the power. The Black Edition construction adds Quadrod and C-Ply Carbon reinforcement for stronger edge hold, tighter response, and a more precise feel without making the ski heavy or stiff. We've been begging Elan to make a black edition version of the best selling ripstick 88 for years and its finally here! The highly anticipated Black Edition 88 is the version for skiers ready for a higher-performance ride. 

Key Features

• CarbonDeck Technology with Quadrod and C-Ply Carbon reinforcement puts strength exactly where the ski needs it for superior edge control and powerful rebound
• Amphibio Profile is built as a true left and right ski, with camber on the inside edge for reliable grip on firm snow and rocker on the outside for easy turn initiation
• Flax Fibre construction calms natural vibration for a smooth, composed ride that holds together when the groomers get skied out
• SST Slanted Sidewall Technology keeps the ski responsive underfoot while still delivering the lightweight swing weight that defines the Ripstick family
• Sintered Race Structured High Speed Gliding base stays fast and slick across every snow condition you will see

The Ripstick 88 Black Edition is available in 154, 161, 168, 175, 182, and 189cm lengths. This is technically a mens ski, however due to an expansive size range, the ladies can rock them too! This was one of both Alexis and Chris's favorite Skis this year at test fest.
