Elan combines freeride with frontside capability with the Ripstick 88W. Using the freeride-oriented design of the other Ripsticks, this ski is intuitive, versatile, and still stable at speed despite its lightweight construction. At 88 underfoot, this ski excels on groomers but has enough width to explore those bowls and venture out to the rest of the mountain. Lay down nice turns while still being able to pop off side-hits and keep your skiing creative.
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 88’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.
