The Elan Ripstick 88 23/24 is an all-mountain frontside ski designed to handle a variety of groomed slopes and changing snow conditions. With an 88 mm waist, it sits in the narrower end of the all-mountain spectrum, offering a nimble feel on hardpack without feeling too twitchy.
At 15.4 m turn radius (for the 172 cm length), the Ripstick 88 balances quick edge-to-edge response with stability at speed. Its 130/88/105 mm shape provides enough tip and tail width for confident carving, while the slimmer waist keeps turn initiation lively. The flat binding interface leaves you free to choose and fine-tune your own mounting setup, and at 1 445 g per ski it’s light enough to make direction changes feel more immediate underfoot.
Turn radius refers to the size of the circle the ski would carve if it held an edge through a full 360° arc. A 15.4 m radius means this ski naturally rolls into medium-radius turns, giving you predictable, controlled carving on hard snow without needing to force the ski into an unrealistic arc.
