Elan Glen Plake Ripstick Tour 104 Freeride Touring Skis – 2023

The 2022/23 Elan Ripstick Tour 104 is a lightweight, versatile and fun loving all mountain touring ski. Without compromising weight or performance, The Ripstick Tour was developed to be the ultimate blend of downhill ski-ability and uphill efficiency. And at around just 1500 grams the Ripstick Tour 104 does just that. 

Being the Signature Model of Freeski legend Glen Plake, it’s no surprise that the Ripstick Tour 104’s, while being tremendously light, are of course, a skier’s ski. Like other Ripsticks, the Tour series features Elan’s Amphibio Profile which integrates unique rocker and camber profiles into each of the skis to create dedicated left and right skis. This tech enables the skis to be incredibly versatile: precise and controlled on the piste while also floaty and free on softer snow. Carbon Bridge Technology sees a single carbon rod added to the upper part of the ski. This addition provides stability, damping and vibration absorption through the tips. These skis also feature a tip-to-tail Laminated Woodcore. This material is extremely responsive and very durable. Power transmission is direct and immediate and works well across a variety of conditions. Carbon, thanks to its ultra lightweight and extreme strength, plays a huge role in the Ripsticks. Carbon stringers provide additional support and stability in the parts of the ski that need it most. Fiberglass Reinforcements optimize the flex pattern to be both forgiving and versatile while also adding to the torsional rigidity of the ski.

Special Safety Notice for Bindings: We urge you to take your boots and bindings to a shop certified by the bindings’ manufacturer to have a function check. The majority of shops will charge for this service. Even though we may, by request, check to see if a binding should fit your boot sole length, such an adjustment and fit check does not verify that the bindings will release properly with your boot. Only a certified shop can do this, with the user’s boots present.

Skiing is dangerous. Ski at your own risk.
