Elan Ripstick 88 Skis size 2026

evo.com | Elan Skis > The bestselling Elan Ripstick 88 Skis undergo some design tweaks for the new season, with slightly reduced sidecut in all sizes aimed at making the ski more stable at speed and UD Carbon and Flax Fiber added to the layup. "Less hooky" and "more lively" are both good things for a ski that already was hugely popular as a frontside weapon among women in the know. Sintered UHMW Base SST (Slanted Sidewall Technology) Sidewall Construction The SST Sidewall Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity. Tubelite Wood Core To create the TubeLite Wood Core, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. Measuring 5mm in diameter and hollow in their construction, these tubes run along 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. Carbon Deck Technology A construction using Elan's TubeLite Woodcore, Carbon Rods, UD Carbon, and Flax Fiber in a carefully prescribed layup for a combination of power and versatility Amphibio Profile / Asymmetrical Design The Amphibio profile 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. | Women's Elan Ripstick 88 Skis 2026 - 161
