The name of the game in the future is light weight, and the Elan Ripstick Tour 104 does not disappoint. This touring edition of the Ripstick carries over all of the characteristics we have grown to know and love in the conventional Ripstick, just in a lighter, uphill friendly, (and incredibly good looking) package. Tweaking the construction to shave weight, but maintain downhill performance, the Ripstick Tour feels like a backcountry specific version of the classic. Using Carbon Bridge Technology, the infamous hollow carbon rods are brought down to a single rod, and now run through the center of the ski for dampness and shock absorption. 360 Degree sidewalls are still a full sidewall, just trimmed down in shape to trim weight. Elan still keeps the left/right ski, Amphibio profile shape. That creates the elusive (and magic) combination of maneuverability, but still locked in, for those tight spaces, steep turns, and variable snow. What more could you ask for in your touring ski? Please note this ski is a true touring model and is NOT compatible with any alpine bindings or crossover bindings like the Marker Duke PT or Salomon Shift models.
