The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition is a freeride ski designed for riders who spend most of their time away from groomed runs. Its 102 mm waist makes it a solid choice for floating in deeper snow while still feeling composed when you head back to firmer slopes.
At 182 cm, this ski features a 138-102-118 mm sidecut and an 18.8 m radius, giving you a balance between stability at speed and nimble handling in tighter terrain. Weighing in at about 1 720 g per ski, it’s light enough to manage on longer approaches or mellow tour laps, yet sturdy enough to hold an edge when you dial up the speed. The flat mounting plate leaves you free to pair it with the binding that fits your personal setup.
The 18.8 m radius describes the ideal turn arc the ski naturally wants to carve: a middle-ground value that works for both medium-radius groomer turns and wider, relaxed arcs off-piste. The tip/waist/tail measurements reflect how the ski’s shape tapers—wider contact points up front and at the rear help it plane over soft snow, while the slimmer waist keeps edge-to-edge transitions responsive on harder snow.
