The 2025 Elan Wingman 82 Ti is a capable frontside cruiser that offers versatile on-trail performance without the more demanding feel that often accompanies skis in this category. At 82mm underfoot, the Wingman 82 Ti has enough width and stability to track confidently through variable snow conditions, yet remains precise and nimble with excellent grip on firm snow thanks to a robust construction and the unique asymmetrical profile of the tips.

Why we like it:

The Wingman 82 Ti strikes an impressive balance between intuitive and high performance, making it appropriate for a large swath of skiers looking for a capable carver.

Who it's for:

Advancing Intermediate and Advanced skiers will appreciate the accesible performance of the Wingman 82 Ti.

Highlights:

Elan packs a ton of tech into the 82 Ti, starting with the feather-light Power Woodcore, which utilizes 20% less material than previous versions to maintain a high level of performance at an incredibly light weight. A titanal laminate provides stability through choppy, variable snow, minimizing chatter and ensuring a smooth feel to every turn. Thanks to the asymmetrical Amphibio rocker profile, these skis offer incredibly quick and responsive turn initiation, giving them a confident and intuitive feel.

Things to consider:

The Wingman 82 Ti is a fantastic option for those seeking accessible performance, however very strong frontside skiers looking for high end carving precision may find these lack the top end performance they’re looking for. It should be noted that there is a left and right ski here, so it’s important to be aware of that when clicking in to your bindings for the day.
