Elan Women's Ripstick 106 Skis 2026

For women who demand both float and finesse, the Elan Ripstick 106 W delivers a high‑performance freeride ski that doesn’t compromise. Designed for big lines, deep snow and variable terrain, this ski pairs cutting‑edge construction with agile responsiveness.

Next‑Level Freeride Performance

With a 106 mm waist and dimensions such as 139/106/119 (168 cm), the Ripstick 106 W earns its place as a big‑snow tool. The weight is impressively low (~1,585 g per ski at 168 cm) for its width, allowing you to stay light in powder without sacrificing stability or edge grip.

Elite Construction & Technology

Built with Elan’s Carbon Deck Technology, a blend of Tubelite Woodcore, carbon rods, unidirectional carbon bands and a flax‑fiber damping layer, the Ripstick 106 W offers powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and smooth control. The Amphibio profile (asymmetric rocker/camber) gives you playful turn entry and strong edge hold when things firm up.

Float in Powder, Grip on Hardpack

Though intended for deep snow and open terrain, this ski handles mixed conditions with confidence. Reviewers note it floats exceptionally while still carving and gripping surprisingly well for its width.

Why You’ll Love It

• True freeride width with 106 mm waist for maximum float.
• Lightweight build makes it nimble and responsive despite the width.
• Advanced tech (Carbon Deck, Flax Fiber, Amphibio) means stability at speed and fun in tight snow.
• Versatile enough to crush powder but still hold an edge on firmer terrain.

If your one ski quiver needs a wide‑body freeride tool that can also hang on groomers and steeps, the Ripstick 106 W is a standout choice.
