Elan Ripstick 88 2025 Ski Review

aussieskier.co...
The Elan Ripstick 88 is an all mountain ski designed for versatility and all around performance. Perfect for intermediate to advanced skiers to make the most of on and off piste conditions in Australia.
For the 24/25 season, Elan have made some important changes to the construction and shape of the Ripsticks. They have shortened the radius the side cut, altered the lengths and softened the tip/tail. The combination of the changes is a ski that we are really impressed with. They are more manoeuvrable in tight spaces and manage cruddy snow better than previously.
The Ripstick 88 is backed by some amazing technology. The Skis are asymmetric and feature Elan's Amphibo rocker profile. This means that inside edge is more cambered whilst the outside edge is more rockered, the difference is only subtle but in conjunction with extra carbon reinforcement on the inside edge makes these off-piste focused all mountain skis rail incredibly well on groomers as well.
We love the Ripstick collection as capable '50/50' or even dedicated touring skis. Pair them up with a touring binding of your choice and let the lightweight & versatile Ripsticks take you deep into the mountains.
