This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:
Read all of our Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition staff reviewsThe Elan Ripstick is often dubbed "The Ultimate Dad Ski," and for good reason. While it may not be specifically designed for it, the Ripstick remains nimble and easy to maneuver, making it a great choice for teaching kids how to navigate greens and blues. When they tire out, it shifts gears, offering stability and aggression for hard charging in big mountain terrain. The Ripstick's balance between maneuverability and carving ability makes it a standout option for a one-ski quiver. Its long effective edge ensures solid carving on groomers, while the deeper rocker in the tips adds versatility. While its softer, more playful build may not be burly enough for heavier or more aggressive skiers seeking a hard-stomping freestyle ski, it still holds its own against models like the Sender Free 110 or Revolt 114.
By: GeorgeThe Ripstick 96 Black Edition is one of my favorite skis to ride on. I've used these at Loveland along with some of the larger resorts (Beaver Creek, Vail, etc..) and they are awesome wherever you take them. They stay grounded down the groomers and are playful when you want to play around. Highly recommended for any intermediate to advanced skier.
By: HarryOur Take:
For the riders that love the sound of the Ripstick, but want a touch more heft and charge in the core, the Elan Ripstick Black Edition 96 is the perfect match for you. The BE uses the same integral rocker design as the other Ripstick skis that make it so darn quick and agile, but adds additional carbon reinforcement to help dampen and stabilize the ski in tough snow conditions. A carbon frame and strips beef up the whole ski, giving you more longitudinal and torsional rigidity for high speeds or edge angles. If you ski fast in particularly firm or choppy conditions, but still like the sound of the flickable and quick nature of the Ripstick series, this is a great way to go.
