Elan Ripstick Tour 104 Skis 2024
The man, the legend, the ski. It's hard to believe the Elan Ripstick Tour 104 Skis are Glen Plake's first signature model, but we can't think of a better candidate. Elan have paid tribute to Plake's mold-breaking style with a ski that combines raw freeride power with incredible agility and maneuverability, all at a touring friendly weight you can take to the skin track. They come with Elan's legendary Amphibio Profile, a light, snappy Tubelite Wood Core, and all new Carbon Bridge Technology for stability and vibration damping. Available in unisex lengths, the only thing missing is a perfectly coifed mohawk.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Amphibio Profile / Asymmetrical Design – The Amphibio profile is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. Amphibio skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip, and stability while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.
Core
Tubelite Wood Core – To create the TubeLite Wood Core, lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run along 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.
Laminates
Carbon Reinforcement – Carbon is an incredibly lightweight and strong material that provides additional support and reinforcement where it's needed most.
Fiberglass – Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fibers are positioned either above or below the ski core and improve the ski’s structural integrity.
Sidewalls
360° Sidewall – Pyramid shaped sidewall material is positioned throughout the whole body of the ski, increasing high speed stability and vibration absorption.
Additional Features
Carbon Bridge Technology – Carbon Bridge Technology is a revolutionary solution where a single carbon rod placed on the upper part of the ski, providing stability, dampening, and vibration absorption through the tip.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
