Designed by women who value versatility and progression - for the piste and backcountry hollows - the Elan Ripstick 88 is wide enough, strong enough and bold enough to take on anything the mountains have to offer.

As a true all-mountain ski, you can confidently take the Ripstick 88 W anywhere. It is the link between on-piste and off-piste skis, offers absolute smoothness and provides confidence underfoot in all conditions and terrain.

Thanks to the technical pedigree of the wider Ripsticks, it is just as convincing off-piste and in rugged terrain at the end of the ski day as it is on the slopes. This narrower Ripstick optimizes Elan's unique Amphibio profile and is agile, smooth and easy to ski.

The secret lies in the Amphibio Carbon Line technology, which ensures a fast response and lively feel, while the SST sidewalls in combination with the TubeLite wood core offer direct power transmission and the best edge grip.

Features:
• Highest all-mountain versatility
• Outstanding floatation
• Best edge grip
• Playful rebound
• Stability at any speed and in any turn shape

Technology:

Vapor Inserts
Vapor Inserts are an innovative composite material that is integrated into the ski core at the tip and tail. These inserts reduce weight and vibrations. They also improve the stability of the ski enormously and ensure a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions.

Tubelight wood core
To produce a TubeLite wood core, two ultra-light carbon tubes are incorporated into a lightweight laminated wood core. The hollow tubes with a diameter of only 5 mm run the entire length of the ski and follow the curve of the waist. They provide torsional rigidity and a powerful rebound, while at the same time reducing the amount of material in the core. The result is an incredibly light, responsive and stable ski.

SST construction
The SST construction ensures fast, agile and direct power transfer from the ski to the snow. An additional advantage is the exceptional torsional rigidity of this construction.
