Refined and redesigned for 2025, the Elan Playmaker 91 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is arguably the most versatile model in the Playmaker line. Whether you're navigating through the trees, carving down groomers, launching off jumps, or hitting rails in the park, these lightweight and energetic skis rise to the occasion with ease. We paired the 91 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The Playmaker 91 is ideal for skiers who want a lightweight ski that doesn’t compromise on pop and responsiveness across all mountain conditions.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers looking for a versatile all-mountain twin tip that combines light weight with plenty of pop will find the Playmaker 91 to be a great choice.

Highlights:

Elan’s Dual Float Technology ensures maximum flotation in soft snow, whether you're skiing switch or charging down the fall line. Carbon Rods underfoot enhance stiffness and support, allowing you to go bigger and faster with confidence. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

The 2025 Playmaker 91 has a softer flex, which may not offer the support that aggressive or heavier skiers might prefer. Lighter skiers, however, will benefit from the ski’s supple and responsive flex pattern.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Playmaker 91 skis true to size.
