The Ripstick 96 was created to help all skiers excel on the toughest terrain and in the most challenging conditions. This unique ski utilizes TNT technology, which combines a TubeLite Woodcore with VaporTip inserts.

The Tublite Woodcore is constructed with tip-to -tail carbon tubes that run the entire length of the ski. These tubes follow the arc of the side cut, and reduce weight without sacrificing performance by providing torsional stability and powerful rebound. Whether hiking the backcountry or skiing in-bounds a lighter ski saves energy, which means more runs and more fun! VaporTip inserts are advanced composites integrated into the tip and tail of the ski’s woodcore. These inserts reduce chatter, significantly improving stability while ensuring a smooth ride. And to further boost versatility, Elan’s patented Amphibio profile was also incorporated into the ski’s design, delivering greater maneuverability and strong edge grip for energy efficient performance that encourages a proper parallel position.

Finally, the Ripstick’s SST sidewall construction provides skiers with more direct power transmission. The end result is a lightweight ski that’s extremely maneuverable and delivers an ultra- smooth ride; even on the most demanding terrain.
