The Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition is a freeride ski built to handle a mix of deep powder and variable terrain. Part of Elan’s Charger line, it’s designed to offer a balanced ride whether you’re exploring backcountry lines or charging groomers.
With a 106 mm waist, the Ripstick 106 delivers solid floatation in soft snow while staying agile on firmer slopes. Its 143 mm tip smooths turn initiation and the 120 mm tail aids clean release at the end of each arc. The flat ski construction provides a stable, adaptable platform, leaving you free to choose the bindings that suit your touring or resort preferences.
The Ripstick’s 18.1 m radius (in the 180 cm length) leans toward medium-to-long turns, giving you predictable response at speed without sacrificing nimbleness in tighter bends. Weighing 1 900 g per ski, it sits in the allround freeride category, striking a balance between uphill efficiency and downhill performance.

Elan says about theRipstick 106 Black Edition
The search for a powder ski that destroys hardpack is officially over. Designed with Glen Plake, the new Ripstick 106 Black Edition utilizes game changing QuadRod Technology to defeat the myth that fat skis are only for soft snow and proves hard charging skis can also be light and playful without sacrificing power and stability.
