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.
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.
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.
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.
360° Sidewall – Pyramid shaped sidewall material is positioned throughout the whole body of the ski, increasing high speed stability and vibration absorption.
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.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

The Black Diamond Fritschi Xenic 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings offer impressively lightweight performance with the added piece of mind of reliable toe release in the even of a fall. Easy step-in and user friendly design mean these bindings are a dream to use out in the field, and they ski fantastically thanks to broad heel and toe support which direct energy right to your edges. For those heading deep into the mountains for their turns, the Black Diamond Fritschi Xenic 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are some of the best in the business.
Easy Step-In Fixed-Stop Broad Pedal – The tip of the boot is optimally positioned by means of a fixed stop and a positioning guide. In response to even slight pressure on the broad step-in pedal the pin levers shift horizontally inward and quickly and precisely engage in the inserts of the boots.
Forward Toe Release – When the heel is released the boot tips forward. Only Fritschi bindings will then also release the boot from the frontal unit at the right time, between an angle of approx. 65° to 75°, depending on the form of the boot’s front.
Secure Downhill Skiing – The pin levers of the innovative frontal unit shift horizontally and thus absorb vertically acting forces. An unintended release caused by shocks from the bottom is prevented without the need to block the system while skiing downhill.
Direct Power Transmission – The power is directly transmitted to the skis via the core tower integrated in the compact heel unit. The large diameter of the core tower allows the broadest support of the system in this category.
Defined Release – The DIN values for the lateral and frontal release can be infinitely set on the Xenic 10. Additionally, it features 10 mm length compensation. With this, the pressure on the system remains constant, even when the skis are flexed, which ensures a defined release in any situation.
Sophisticated Walk Mode – Using the climbing aid as a lever the Xenic 10 can very easily be changed from the downhill to the uphill position with just half a turn of the heel. The stopper locks automatically on the first step. The walk-mode levels of 2° and 11° and the climbing aid, which is controllable with the pole, provide absolute ergonomic comfort in climbing uphill.
