The Elan Ripstick 102 is built for freeride versatility, serving as an ideal one-ski quiver for everything from deep powder days to high-speed resort laps. Engineered to deliver a lightweight feel alongside a powerfully smooth ride, it responds effortlessly across all snow conditions and terrain. Its Tubelite Woodcore—enhanced with carbon rods, unidirectional carbon, and flax fiber tips—is tailored for skiers who demand effortless floatation in soft snow, quick agility through technical lines, and dependable edge stability on groomed runs when the powder gets tracked out.
Amphibio Technology: An asymmetrical ski design featuring dedicated left and right skis. The cambered inside edge delivers maximum edge hold, precision, and high-speed stability, while the rockered outside edge allows for easy turn initiation, forgiveness, and smooth edge-to-edge transitions.
CarbonDeck Technology: Combines a responsive wood core with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon edge bands to maximize energy return, torsional rigidity, and overall platform stability without adding unnecessary weight.
Tubelite Woodcore: Structural hollow carbon tubes are inserted directly into a lightweight laminated wood core along the arc of the sidecut, providing 360-degree torsional stability and dynamic power transmission.
Carbon Rods & UD Carbon: Unidirectional carbon bands strategically positioned along the edges complement structural carbon tubes to sharpen response, optimize edge grip, and maintain torsional control at speed.
Flax Fibre Reinforcement: Natural flax fibers integrated into the tip section absorb high-frequency vibrations and quiet tip chatter, creating a damp, smooth ride through variable snow and chunder.
SST (Slanted Sidewall Technology): Slanted sidewalls deliver direct power transmission from the binding to the ski edge while lowering swing weight and enhancing topsheet durability.
Sintered High Speed Gliding Base: Premium ultra-high molecular weight sintered base material absorbs wax efficiently to offer high-speed glide performance and long-term durability across diverse snow conditions.
