They say …
Ripstick 96 has established itself as the cornerstone of Elan’s freeride collection. Now in its third generation, Amphibio Profile still delivers an uncompromising trio of grip, rebound, and manoeuvrability, with an even smoother and more stable ride, thanks to new Carbon Deck Technology. Whether you prefer a wider footprint for everyday skiing at the resort or are looking for all-mountain versatility for changing conditions, Ripstick 96 is recognized for its ability to turn good times on the hill into great memories.
We say …
The Ripstick has undergone a couple of minor tweaks from the last few years, and is an outstanding tool as a result. Perhaps pipped to our top picks by up-and-coming exciting new skis brimming with tech and innovation, as opposed to the more subtler changes here, the Ripstick 96 offers silky smooth edge transitions allowing skiers to power through any conditions and excellent power to drive harder and harder in all terrain. An impressively light and fun ski that can bend and create a lot of turn shapes all over the mountain.
