Our Take On The 2026 Elan Ripstick 88:
If a quick, versatile, frontside performer is on your mind this season, but you don't want too much heft or weight, there's no better option than the updated Elan Ripstick 88. We've long loved the Ripstick 88 for how agile it is�the Amphibio profile and lighter construction allow this ski to ride much more nimble than you'd expect. Compared to many other 88mm skis on the market that are loaded with metal and other materials to dampen the ski, the Ripstick 88 finds stability in its shape and carbon-focused construction. The Ripstick uses its Carbon Deck technology to focus extra stability where you need it. They've also added flax to the tip to add a bit of dampness and predictability up there. Overall, it's very much the Ripstick you know and love, just with their latest tech and innovations to keep the Ripstick family at the forefront of ski design. We recommend the Ripstick for anyone who is looking for a frontside ski, or the narrower side of all-mountain, that is quick and agile and not too heavy. The directional shape makes it perfect for experienced skiers looking for something supportive, but not overly demanding.
