Knowing the conditions you'll encounter on your next ski adventure in the mountains is rarely predictable. For days like these, Ripstick 88 is the ski to trust.
Picture a ski with unbelievable edge-to-edge quickness and rebound that can also handle any surface condition with a calm and cool demeanor. The ski you just envisioned is the Ripstick 88 and its versatility is fed by Elan's innovative Amphibio Profile, supported by Carbon Deck Technology featuring carbon rods and unidirectional carbon bands located along the edges for the most responsive and smoothest ride in our narrowest freeride footprint. Ripstick 88 is slim enough to slice and dice early morning corduroy and wide enough to negotiate new snow with quickness, rebound, and easily attainable power thanks to its lightweight 3D design reinforced by natural Flax fiber. If you're not sure what your next ski day is going to dish out, trust a ski that's guaranteed to deliver the goods.
| Length | Sidecut Tip - Waist - Tail (mm) | Radius (m) | Weight (w/o binding) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 168 cm | 125 mm - 88 mm - 104 mm | 14.8 | 1410g |
| 175 cm | 127 mm - 88 mm - 106 mm | 15.8 | 1510g |
| 182 cm | 130 mm - 90 mm - 108 mm | 16.8 | 1600g |
A layer of natural Flax Fiber is placed in the tip of the ski to neutralize vibration and chatter, providing a smooth ride at high speeds and in variable snow conditions.
To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

Unidirectional carbon bands are strategically positioned along both edges of the ski to create torsional stability which produces superior response and intuitive maneuverability at an extremely light weight.
The special ultra-high molecular weight running base delivers excellent durability and superb gliding performance in variety of conditions.
The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.
Amphibio Tech is the complete, fulldimension asymmetrical ski design. Influencing both the profile and construction of dedicated right and left skis.
