The 2026 Elan Wingman 86 Ti is a frontside powerhouse with just enough width and muscle to handle varied terrain when the groomers run out. Designed for skiers who want carving precision with the stability to tackle crud, steeps, and speed, the 86 Ti brings a more aggressive, energetic feel to the Wingman lineup without losing Elan’s signature intuitive feel and smooth turn entry.

Why we like it:

It’s strong, planted, and surprisingly versatile. A confident carver that doesn’t shy away from speed or chopped-up afternoon conditions.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers who want a high-performance resort ski with top-tier edge hold and the stability to match their pace.

Highlights:

At 86 mm underfoot, the Wingman 86 Ti hits the sweet spot for firm-snow dominance with just enough platform to handle softer conditions and variable terrain. The titanium-reinforced PowerLine construction adds strength and dampness, while the Amphibio profile keeps transitions intuitive and smooth—camber on the inside edge for grip, rocker on the outside for easier turn initiation. SST sidewalls ensure solid edge transfer and durability, and the overall feel is one of balance, precision, and authority on snow.

Things to consider:

While the 86 Ti is more forgiving than a full race ski, it still prefers an assertive skier. It rewards clean technique but may feel demanding for beginners or laid-back cruisers. It’s a frontside-focused tool at heart, so if you spend a lot of your time exploring off trail or chasing fresh snow, a wider or more directional freeride ski would be a better match.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size, and skiers can choose their usual size or size down for added quickness with no worry about loss of performance.
