Tested: Elan Wingman 86 Ti 2021 all-mountain ski

SkiKitInfo.com tests the 2021 Elan Wingman 86 Ti all-mountain ski. A predictable and confidence inspiring ski, with excellent manners on firm snow and a forgiving nature in softer conditions. A great ski for intermediate and advanced level skiers wanting one ski for a variety of terrain and snow consistency.

The Wingman range is designed by Elan to cater for skiers wanting to rip the groomers with enough versatility to have fun off the sides in soft snow and chopped up conditions. They use Elan’s Amphibio shaping, where you get a long standard camber in the inside edge of each ski combined with tip and tail rocker on the outside edge. This does mean you have a left and right specific ski.
Elan uses Truline tech, where they put more structural material above the cover, over the inside edge of each ski. For the Wingman 86 Ti this mean that a shaped strip of Titanium sits full width underfoot, then tapers towards the inside edge at the tip and tail. You get increased power and drive on this side of the ski, and it means the outside, rockered edge is more relaxed, making the ski less grabby and improving ease of use.
