Elan Ripstick 96 Skis 2022

THE BEST.

The Ripstick 96 is one of the best all-mountain skis. Actually it's probably the best, it's perfect in every way.

It blew us away test after test, east coast, west coast, early season, peak season, the new Ripstick 96 is soooo good.  First day on the Ripstick was 5 degrees December 8th at Waterville Valley, the snow was to me fine, but what most people would classify as horrific.  The Ripstick 96 was being skied alongside the Kendo 88.  Selfishly I took the Kendo 88 because I wanted to have grip, the Kendo strugggled that day.  After a few runs, Eric and I switched, and the Ripstick 96 wasn't phased or nervous feeling on the conditions that we had that day.  With all the carbon in the Ripstick 96 you'd expect it to feel too tinny -- it didn't. We got some shots, hit some arcs, and for the remainder of the season the Ripstick was the ski I used the most. What we all like about the Ripstick 96 more than those is it's versatility, the thing rips everything and does it better than all of em.  

If you want to have more fun and be a better skier, yes it's possible, you should buy the Ripstick 96 the 2022.
