What Elan says about the Ripstick 100 W:
“Ripstick 100W seamlessly maneuvers through tight trees and narrow chutes with poise and elegantly carves turns in open bowls and groomers with grace.
The all-new Ripstick 100W is building a reputation as an everyday essential thanks to its ability to navigate soft and hard snow, in wide open spaces and tight situations with finesse. All-new Carbon Deck Technology provides a lightweight yet super-smooth and responsive platform built with unidirectional carbon bands and carbon rods in the core to support the intuitive maneuverability and unrivaled grip of Amphibio Profile. A new 3D shape shaves weight and is reinforced with Flax, a natural fiber that absorbs vibration for supreme stability at speed and in variable conditions. The newest footprint in the Ripstick line arises to bring skiers that explore the entire mountain a poised and performance-driven ski that knows no boundaries and excels in every terrain and condition you find at the resort and beyond.”— Elan Skis
