About this product

The Elan Ripstick 88 Ski for 2026 is a women's all-mountain ski designed to carry intermediate to advanced riders confidently across groomed runs, variable snow, and light off-piste terrain. Its Amphibio rocker-camber-rocker profile promotes smooth turn initiation while maintaining reliable edge grip, and the 88mm waist (with full dimensions ranging from 120/85/99mm at 147cm to 127/88/106mm at 175cm) strikes a practical balance between quick carving and off-piste versatility. The Tubelite wood core keeps the construction light and lively, complemented by carbon rods, unidirectional carbon, and a flax fiber layer that collectively add stability, precision, and vibration damping without introducing harshness. A sintered base provides durable, fast glide, while sandwich construction with SST sidewalls improves power transfer to the steel edges. Available in five lengths from 147cm to 175cm, with turn radii spanning 11.8m to 15.8m (12.8m at the 154cm reference length), the ski carries a two-year limited manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the 2026 Elan Ripstick 88 W for its exceptional lightweight feel, effortless turn initiation, and wide appeal across intermediate to advanced skiers. The Amphibio asymmetric profile earns repeated credit for delivering precise edge grip on groomers while keeping the ski forgiving and catch-free. Testers highlight its versatility, noting it handles groomers, bumps, trees, and mixed conditions with ease. The most common criticism is that heavier or more aggressive skiers may find it lacks the stiffness and top-end stability they need, and it is not well suited for deep powder or true boilerplate ice. Some testers also note it can chatter slightly when pushed hard at high speeds.
