The Elan Ripstick 94 is one of the best options for skiers who ski everywhere and want a ski that's easy off trail and strong on hard pack.
The Elan Ripstick 94 W has been a Ski Monster staff and customer favorite for a few seasons now. It can handle everything you throw at it and is great for a huge range of skier abilities. We haven't found many, if any, scenarios that the Ripstick 94 can't handle. Compared to previous generations the new Ripstick is stronger underfoot, has more power, provides more precise grip all without sacrificing any of the "easy to ski" characteristics many skiers have come to love about the Ripstick series. On groomers the Ripstick 94 is exciting and for a 94mm wide ski it's quick and energetic rolling from edge to edge. Off trail or on more technical terrain the Ripstick 94 W is easy to pivot and balance on, allowing you to feel more confident in dicier terrain. It's a wildly predictable ski which is why it's a great option for so many different skill levels. More aggressive skiers will be able to tap into all the performance the Ripstick has to offer while less experienced skiers will find the low end accesibility confidence inspiring and will help you grow as a skier. If you're looking for one of the most well rounded all mountain skis this should be on your radar and close to the top of the list. It's also a light enough ski to throw a touring binding on if you're putting together a set-up that is as capable in the back or side-country as it is in the resort.
Who's the Ripstick 94w for? Skiers who want a ski that CRUSHES off-piste, soft snow, and is easy to ski, but also want a ski that is confident and stable on groomers or hard pack. You really can have your cake and eat it too.
