Elan Men's Ripstick 96 Black Edition Skis 2026

All-mountain skis should never sacrifice dynamic feel or power for versatility. Luckily, the Elan Men's Ripstick 96 Black Edition Skis are ready to rip anything the mountain can throw at you with critical upgrades to strength, responsiveness, and stability, so you can blast through mixed terrain and swerve through narrow treelines with confidence. Enhanced Carbon Deck technology combines an energetic and lightweight TubeLite wood core with carbon reinforcement in the form of Quadrod technology for balanced torsional stiffness and flex, C-Ply carbon in the mid-body for superior edge-hold, and unidirectional carbon for carving power and control. That means hard-charging consistency on- and off-piste, especially with the Amphibio profile, which blends fully rockered and cambered edges on the skis for calibrated forgiveness and precision where you need it most. The SST sidewall offers greater stability and faster power transfer with flax fiber in the tip for vibration dampening at speed, so your ride stays smooth no matter how intense the action gets. Offering a more forceful feel with the same low-weight, all-mountain utility as the rest of Elan's popular Ripstick line, these Black Edition skis are purpose-built for the hardcore speed lovers with favorite runs all over the mountain who never let off the gas.
