Delivering pop and play for skiers who ski outside the lines, the Elan Playmaker 101 is purpose-built to make skiing more fun, and let you unlock your creativity on the hill. It’s built with an energetic Tubelite wood core, plus two carbon rods for stability (a la the Ripstick) and the wrapping sidewall you see in the Tour. That, plus a funky trapezoid bevel along the topsheet edges, makes for a legit strength-to-weight ratio. In other words: The Playmaker weighs in lighter than many other skis in this category. It feels playful and energetic. Yet it also skis smoothly and offers a stable platform. By ditching the Amphibio tech (left and right specific) and tipping the tails, Elan offers a legit twin-tip all-mountain ski. So if you enjoy lightweight and energetic skis like the Ripstick but want more sizzle for jibbing, steezing, slaying, slashing, airing, and general shenaniganizing, you’ve come to the right place. Updated for the 24/25 season, Elan beefed up the tail to give you a little more stability when rounding out turns. But, it's still a playmaker. Similar skis: Armada ARV 100, Atomic Bent 100.
