Elan Ripstick 102 71743393

Description

The Elan Ripstick 102 is a freeride ski built for skiers looking to explore varied terrain beyond the groomed runs. With a 102 mm waist underfoot, it strikes a balance between flotation in softer snow and responsiveness on firmer surfaces.

Weighing 1,720 g per ski at 182 cm, it falls into the freetouring category, making uphill climbs feel lighter without giving up downhill stability. Its 138/102/118 mm profile helps the tip float in deeper snow while the narrower waist lets you transition edges quickly, and the 18.8 m radius offers a versatile turn shape. The flat mounting pattern leaves you free to choose bindings that match your preferred setup.

The sidecut radius of 18.8 m describes the circular arc the ski would trace in a perfect turn—longer radii deliver smoother, more stable carves. The three-part shaping (tip, waist, tail) controls how the ski interacts with the snow: a wider tip boosts float, the narrow waist enhances agility, and the slightly wider tail helps with release and balance through each turn.
