Elan RIPSTICK TOUR 88 Ski Set

The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 (model no. ADKLWH25) is a touring ski designed for demanding skiers who prioritize lightness without compromising on stability on the descent. With an 88 mm waist and a controlled weight (approximately 1,210 g per ski in the 163 cm length), it offers excellent efficiency on the ascent while remaining capable in fresh snow, transformed snow, and on groomed runs.salestools.

Its construction is based on the Tubelite Woodcore, a tubular wood core that combines lightness and responsiveness, reinforced by Carbon Bridge Technology: a carbon bar positioned along the top of the ski to absorb vibrations and ensure enhanced stability on a variety of snow conditions. The ski also features a Titanal reinforcement at the bindings for a secure fit, as well as a high-speed sintered base for optimal glide.salestools.

Elan’s Amphibio profile is a major innovation: it combines camber on the inside edge (for precision and grip) and rocker on the outside edge (for ease of turning and forgiveness). This asymmetrical design makes the ski more intuitive and grippy, especially on hard snow or at the end of the day when fatigue sets in.

With a turning radius of 15.6 m in the 163 cm length and dimensions of 127-88-106 mm, the Ripstick Tour 88 is agile in the woods, in narrow couloirs, and on technical terrain, while offering surprising float thanks to its generous tip. It’s suitable for intermediate, advanced, and expert skiers who enjoy ski touring and light freeriding, for both men and women (unisex version).salestools.
