The Elan Ripstick 94 Women's Skis with Bindings is a great set for ladies who want a true quiver of one ski and binding combination. At 94- millimeters under foot, this waist width is what we like to say is ideal for true all-mountain versatility. Built with Elan’s Tubelite wood core, the skis are light and energetic, mostly due to the use of carbon rods that run the length of the sides of the ski, just inside the sidewalls. These rods are very unique in the ski world as they provide 3-dimensional stiffness and response for all types of edge angles and energy levels. When you push into the ski, the rods load up with weight and energy, releasing it on the back side of the turn. By replacing light wood in the core with lighter and hollow carbon rods, Elan is actually stiffening the ski while making it lighter, which is pretty rare in ski construction these days. In addition, their Amphibio rocker profile is asymmetric, placing more camber on the inside edges of the ski while more rocker is found on the outside. The end result here is that the ski is very smooth with seamless transitions between turns, in both hard and soft snow conditions. Light, maneuverable, and ideally shaped for true all-mountain skiing, the Elan Ripstick 94 Women's Skis with bindings is a perfect choice for advanced skiers who want to rule the entire mountain.
