Elan Ripstick 96 Alpine Ski

When your ski day starts on crisp morning groomers and ends with a surprise powder stash in the trees, the Elan Ripstick 96 is built to make every turn count. With a 96 mm waist and Elan’s Amphibio profile, this ski blends confident edge grip with effortless float, letting you transition from hardpack to soft snow without missing a beat. Light enough for long days but powerful enough for aggressive skiing, it’s the ultimate one-ski quiver for adventurous skiers.

Now in its third generation, the Ripstick 96 gets an upgrade with Carbon Deck Technology. Carbon rods and unidirectional carbon bands are strategically placed along the ski’s edges to increase torsional rigidity, stability, and rebound while keeping the overall weight impressively low. Natural vibration-damping flax fiber and Tubelite Woodcore construction deliver a smooth, confident ride whether you’re arcing high-speed carves, ripping through crud, or exploring mixed conditions.

Recognized worldwide with multiple awards, the Ripstick 96 has earned its reputation as the most versatile ski in Elan’s freeride collection. With powerful edge grip, smooth turn entry and exit, and remarkable stability at speed, it transforms good ski days into great ones. For skiers seeking a lightweight yet high-performance ride with the perfect balance of float, response, and reliability, the Ripstick 96 is the benchmark all-mountain ski.
