Who is the Elan Ripstick 94 W freeride ski designed for? It really is a do-it-all shred machine suited for versatile and aggressive riders. Its carbon-reinforced construction gives the ski more torsional strength and maximises edge control and response on groomers. Perfectly suited for powder and soft snow conditions, you’ll find in the Ripstick 94 W solid performance on hard snow too. It’s stable, it’s nimble, it’s powerful and it rides fast. This beefy powder ski feels absolutely amazing whatever the terrain of the conditions. Elan and V were definitely the two main reasons I wanted to draw the Order of the Stick. Drawn as stick figures, OotS is a group of six adventurers: Their leader Roy Grenhilt (fighter), Haley Starshine (rogue), Durkon Thundershield (dwarven cleric), Belkar Bitterleaf (halfling ranger), Elan (bard) and Vaarsuvius (elven wizard). The Ripstick is a rip stick, designed to shred the entire moutain and tear it apart. What can the Elan Ripstick 94 W women’s ski do? Vapor Tip technology enhance chatter dampening for added fluidity in variable conditions. It was also stripped down with carbon rods allowing not only to save weight but to reinforce the ski and make it more responsive. This freeride player offers a 94mm waist coupled with a tip and tail rocker for maximum efficacy on powder. Elan Ripstick 94 W is for another year one of the flagship skis of Elan’s women lineup.
