Elan Ripstick 106 172cm + Demo Bindings 2023 – USED

The Ripstick 106 is Glen Plake’s pick for his favorite ski in the collection. This freeride-oriented ski is intuitive, versatile, and still stable at speed despite its lightweight construction. At 106 underfoot, this ski can handle a bit of everything. This width will excel in softer snow conditions but is narrow enough for agility in hardpack conditions making this a great all-mountain, everyday ski. 

The addition of TNT technology combines woodcore from tip to tail, with carbon rods along each rail and Vapor tip inserts in the tip and tail to reduce swing weight and chatter.

Like the other Ripsticks, the Ripstick 106’s rocker profile is asymmetrical, with the rocker lines on its inside edges being shorter than those on the outside. The goal — to create better edge hold and power transfer where you need it while maintaining a looser, easier-to-pivot feel on the outside edges.

Disclaimer of Warranties:

For previously owned and used skis and bindings:

• Equipment is sold “as is”
• The buyer assumes all risk as to the quality and performance of the equipment

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.
