Ripstick 88 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I skied these on firm morning groomers and into softer afternoon snow, and they felt incredibly balanced the whole time. They’re quick edge-to-edge with really solid grip, but what stood out most was how smooth they stayed in mixed conditions. They’re light enough to stay playful but still feel dependable when you pick up speed."Who It’s ForIntermediate to Expert Skiers:This ski is built for skiers progressing into advanced terrain as well as experienced riders who want a lighter, more agile all-mountain option. It’s a great fit for those who prioritize control and ease of use on groomers but still want the confidence to explore variable snow and occasional powder. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Skiing from Groomers to Mixed Snow:Designed for resort skiers who move between frontside laps and softer, variable conditions, the Ripstick 88 handles everything from hardpack carving to chopped snow and light powder. Its shape and profile make it adaptable across changing conditions throughout the day. Why We Like ItLightweight Precision, Smooth Ride, and Reliable Grip:The Tubelite woodcore keeps the ski light and energetic, while Carbon Deck Technology adds stability and rebound without making it overly stiff. Amphibio shaping helps the ski initiate turns easily while maintaining strong edge hold, and the addition of flax fiber smooths out vibrations for a more composed ride in mixed snow. It’s a balanced, intuitive ski that feels easy to trust.
