The Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition is back for the second year in a row and skiers should be lining up at the door to snag a pair of these. Anyone who has been on a Ripstick knows these are smooth carvers thanks to the Amphibio Profile which incorporates rocker on the outside edges and camber on the inside edges so you can dial in smooth carves while having the ability to release the edges effortlessly. TubeLite Woodcore makes an appearance, delivering a lightweight wood core supported by two carbon rods for torsional support and better response keeping the Ripstick lightweight. Black edition is code for more carbon and Elan supports that message with QuadRod Reinforcement that adds two more carbon rods to the TubeLite Woodcore that creates an energetic ski loaded with power. With a waist width of 106mm, the Ripstick will hold up in deep powder like a champ but highlights its versatility that can handle groomed runs, bumps and trees. Get a pair of sticks that rip with the Elan Ripstick 106 Black Editions.
