Ripstick 96 Skis Now On Sale

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Kyle H
By: Kyle H
The Elan Ripstick 96 is one of my favorite skis ever! I took this ski to copper and had a great time riding groomers and bumps on this ski. The Ripstick is playful and speedy, and I felt it really got my form in better shape as someone who tends to lean back instead of forward. I would recommend this ski to anyone who is looking for a good all-around ski that can certainly rip if you let it!

Powder7 Staff Pick Jason H
By: Jason H
The Ripstick 96 was my favorite ski of the day at the 2019 industry demo at Loveland in November. I am 6’ 3” and weigh in at about 200 pounds. I felt these skis at the 188 cm length were the perfect combination of playful and responsive. I rode these both in softer sun warmed snow and the firmer packed snow yet to be exposed to the late morning sun and felt I could make any turn the situation required.

Our Take On The 2024 Elan Ripstick 96:

Here at Powder7, we're big time Elan Ripstick 96 fans. The combination of liveliness, stability, light weight, and maneuverability make it an easy ski to recommend to a wide range of skiers, and even better, an exceptionally fun ski to "rip" around on. Light enough for touring or a 50-50 setup, while still being plenty stable and strong for whatever the resort throws at you, Elan truly built the Ripstick to handle whatever you need it to. Carbon weave reinforcements on the inside edges along with an asymmetrical rocker profile ensures incredibly easy turn initiation with the snappy, playful feel the Ripsticks have long been known for. Intermediates through experts will find love in the Ripstick 96, from carving down groomers to slashing through trees, and for those heavier or more aggressive skiers who are worried that this lightweight freeride ski won't be quite stiff enough, check out the Black Edition. Similar skis: Armada Declivity 92 Ti, Atomic Maverick 95 Ti, Fischer Ranger 96.
