Although designed with jibbing in mind, Ahmet Dadali didn't ignore versatility when dreaming this ski up. A non-symmetrical twin may buck the trend of most park models but it makes total sense, as riding switch requires different technique to going forwards. Specific tip and tail butter zones add extra style to tricks; a 95mm waist means you can easily spend the day doing powder runs when it's dumping. Carbon stringers boost pop; the Multi Layer Woodcore increases strength.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The shape and construction work equally well as an all mountain jibber or an urban ski designed to press and butter. It hasn't got the stiffness for the biggest boost, but it does have a flex that allows you to add extra style and land comfortably. Combined with its rocker and width, this makes it a super playfull all mountain ski too.Skier TypeFreestyle skiers, whether they spend all their time in the park or who take their skiing onto the mountain as much as they use man made features.OverviewShape95mm in the waist works equally well in the park, on the piste and around the mountain; the 21.3m radius (173cm) helps create a stable ride. The contact points are closer to the tip and tail than the 104 or 121, making it feel more positive in and out of the turn “ rocker adds manoeuvrability to make sure it isn't over precise.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses camber underfoot with rocker at tip and tail. The camber provides the grip and the pop for jumping, the rocker aids turn initiation and release as well as butters and presses.CoreThe Multi Layer Woodcore uses a combination of beech and poplar, resulting in a poppy and extremely durable core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around.ConstructionFull sidewall produces direct and strong power transmission for the best control.eB tester's comments: Dani (Aviemore) Very versatile with nice flex points in the tip and tail for buttering. It's one of the most complete freestyle skis that provides full-on all terrain performance.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1651259511919173125951192119201811259511923General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: WoodDemo: Yes [Full Details]
Salomon's Stance 80 is for intermediates who want to ski equally well whatever condition the piste is in. The shape and width combine with the woodcore and Titanal laminate to create a superbly stable ride, no matter the snow. The long nose and tail ensure no grabby turns and the waist provides a balanced platform. Clean carves in the morning on the fresh groomed slopes through to smooth, effortless turns in the afternoon when it all cuts up and many piste models start to struggle. It'll even take you on your first adventures away from the marked trails.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Mainly pistes but not exclusively. It will be happiest on reds and blues, whatever the condition, and that's the beauty of the Stance 80. It doesn't need perfect snow or grooming, it has the stability and shape to feel great when the snow isn't, which is when many other narrower skis will start to become more difficult. You can also take this for a few runs down the sides in the easier off piste.Skier TypeIntermediate piste skiers who want a balanced ski for use in a range of conditions. To achieve this they're prepared to sacrifice some quickness edge-to-edge to gain more stability, but it's still no slouch on firm snow as it has a nice energy about it, zipping through turns. Technique won't be perfect yet and the Stance 80 will help them improve in a range of conditions and speeds, never over precise but with enough performance to encourage and reward good technique. To make the most of it, the skier needs the confidence or desire to tackle more than just groomed snow.OverviewShape80mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on piste and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it's still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, meaning the ski has quite a short radius so that it feels quick to turn on piste. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot. This ensures smooth handling in softer snow with good turn initiation and release, with grip and control on firm conditions.CoreThe Poplar Woodcore offers stability, liveliness and forgiveness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact.ConstructionMix of sidewall and cap. The sidewall underfoot ensures good grip and precision; the cap at the tip and tail increases durability and aids with some forgiveness at the start and end of the turn.Key FeaturesTi-C FrameThe Ti-C Frame combines carbon windows and a Titanal laminate to create a damp, charging ski that inspires confidence regardless of speed, terrain, or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Joseph (Aviemore) Conditions were definitely variable, but these skis provided a forgiving and stable platform. They are ideal for a resort skier just looking to cruise around the whole mountain. A versatile ski that is easy to ski in almost all conditions.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)161123801051318001691248010614193017712580107152060General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBindings: Integrated, M10 GW DIN: 3 - 10Construction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]
The Line Pandora 94 is for those skiers who see the whole mountain as a playground and need a versatile ski that is fun to use in all kinds of terrain and conditions. Line’s tried and tested early Rise and early Taper design ensure excellent handling in any snow, helping boost confidence when things gets tricky. The Aspenlite core and Capwall construction make sure it feels playful but still has the performance necessary for skiing faster, without ever becoming hard to use. Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Thanks to a shape that is designed for versatility and the fun performance, this is proper go-anywhere ski. It has grip and energy for skiing on pistes and firmer conditions, the stability for rougher snow, and the float and balance for powder. It’s a great option for skiers who want to play around off the side of the pistes and also search a bit further for some different slopes, as well as spending plenty of time on groomed runs chasing friends.Skier TypeConfident all condition skiers looking for a wide all mountain ski or narrow freeride option. Considering the performance on offer and all the places this ski can take you, it is surprisingly easy to use and will suit aspring all mountain skiers who want to explore more, as well as better skiers who want a playful but reliable all terrain model. There’s no metal so it won’t suit the chargers.OverviewShape94mm underfoot works in a variety of conditions, narrow enough for medium and long radius turns and with the width for some float away from the pistes. early Rise rocker assists with the ride in soft snow and the early Taper creates long tips and tails for smoother hadnling when conditions are rough. Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreAspenlite uses aspen as it is lightweight and resilient, making it a great all round material.ConstructionCombining the precision of sidewall underfoot, and the lightweight, durable performance of cap construction in the tip and tail, Capwall provides the best of both worlds.Key FeaturesCarbon Magic FingersA wide array of carbon stretching from tip to tail for added stability without sacrificing weight.5Cut Multi-Radius SidecutFive different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.Thin TipSuper thin core and sidewalls in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight and tip bounce.eB tester’s comments: Claire (Milton Keynes) This was so much fun. Being a much softer ski than what I would normally be used to I was a hesitant, however, my mind was quickly changed. It was really responsive and let me have lots of fun on the snow.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1511319411711.8.1581319411713.1.1651319411714.5.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: No [Full Details]
The elan Voyager is the world's first high-performance, folding all mountain ski. A convenient option that folds down to under 1m for easy storage and carriage; and a no compromise ski for demanding skiers. The key is elan's revolutionary Connect Technology, a four axis system mechanism that bonds and seals the ski at the folding joint and integrates with a carbon reinforced plate that serves as a load bearing platform. Surprisingly simple to use and exceptionally strong it's unlike anything else on the mountain. It isn't just a high-tech piece of engineering, it's also an impressive performer on piste and all mountain with design borrowed from race products and thanks to the 78mm waist and Amphibio rocker it is also very capable away from the groomers. The package consists of skis, bindings, telescopic poles, travel bag with room for skis, boots and clothes, plus a snow removal brush and drying cloth. Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It has a piste construction, but it's definitely not exclusively for groomed terrain. It has enough width to deal with some exploring and fresh snow too. The construction ensures it will handle the firmest and fastest runs with precision, power and grip.Skier TypeIt might fold but this does not affect the performance in any way, this is high speed cruiser that delivers power and grip when you push it, but thanks to Amphibio Technology it's never hard to ski either. Ideal for advanced skiers who want convenience and performance.OverviewShape78mm in the waist hits the jackpot for a ski that will rip trenches on the piste and still enjoy runs down the sides of marked trails and in fresh snow. The radius is ideal for a mix of turn shapes and the contact points are near the ends of the tip and tail to maximise the contact length and edge grip.RockerAmphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. These skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability, while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.CoreWood core with Titanal reinforcement and Carbon Box provides superior edge control an a progressive flex pattern for high performance skiing.ConstructionRST Sidewall Construction optimises the transfer of power and energy from the skier to the edge, providing maximum edge hold from the tip to the tail of the ski. As used on elan's race models.Key FeaturesConnect Folding TechnologyThe secret of the Voyager is elan's revolutionary Connect Technology which uses a four-axis mechanism that bonds and seals the ski together at the folding joint. This combines with a carbon-reinforced fusion plate that serves as a load-bearing platform for support. The two components work together to provide rigidity to the ski for superior performance, but also allow the ski to fold into a compact, easy to transport package. The ski delivers a never-seen-before folding functionality, so part of design is in the role of intuitive folding ability. The fold/unfold is achieved by rotational moves to allow snow or ice to slide out of the way. The areas that are exposed to folding & rotation are designed with care for long-term usage, even after countless repetition. From folded position to unfolded position, it takes around 15-30 seconds to assemble both skis into skiing position. It is a very convenient and easy process. First, you unlock the safety mechanism, then unfold it, rotate the plate in any direction, and align it to the ski. To finish the process, lock the mechanisms in front and back of the plate and release the brake lock to secure the skiing mode. every step of the process is marked on the ski itself to prevent errors. The reverse process is the same in time and steps.Voyager Travel BagPremium ski bag designed specifically to carry the Voyager skis and poles plus all your ski gear. There's enough room for boots, helmet and all your outwear. 2 Large compartments, two zipped front pockets, internal mesh pockets, silent wheels and ID pocket. extendable handle and carry handles.

The Ripstick 94W has quietly been making a name for itself as one of the very best women’s skis out there. It’s a freeride ski that is truly happy everywhere on the mountain from groomed pistes to fresh powder, with bumps, trees, slush and anything else in between. The key is the lightweight design and asymmetric Amphibio construction. There is a distinct left and right ski with more camber on the inside edge and increased rocker on the outside; the result is grip on firm snow and ease of use in soft conditions. Carbon reinforcement on the inside improves the precision and edge hold. Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This a great example of a freeride ski, capable of skiing anywhere on the mountain, not just powder or mainly firm conditions, but everywhere. That said, every ski has a certain things it does especially well and, in this case, Ripsticks shine brightest in softer conditions. It’s got the wdith and shape to work really well in soft snow, with good float and easy handling. The Amphibio asymmetric camber/rocker aids the edge hold and feeling of positivity on pistes without making the ski any harder to use. There’s no metal in the ski so to strengthen grip on hard snow the new Amphibio Line Technology uses carbon reinforcement along the inside edge to improve the stiffness. The flex feels great on pretty much all terrain, with only the steepest, firmest runs needing more care. Thanks to it being relatively lightweight, mounting it with a BC binding is an option if you want to do the occasional trip away from the lifts. Skier TypeThe Ripstick is aimed squarely at advanced skiers wanting an all mountain option, maybe as a single ski quiver or maybe as a second ski to compliment a piste model. There’s no metal so it won’t suit the heaviest or most powerful skiers but, thanks to clever design, it isn’t tricky to use. It does reward good technique with precision and stabilty to take it anywhere OverviewShape94mm in the waist is a key part of what makes this a ski for those who want ultimate versatility. It’s wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the frontside. The re-shaped tip and tail taper design keep it feeling comfortable in every turn shape, on any surface. The relatively long nose and tail provide fogiveness and stability.RockerRipsticks use Amphibio technology, a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis.

The Ripstick Tour 88W is the epitome of the modern touring ski: light on the uphill, stable on the down and with the handling of a freeride model. This is all thanks to elan’s clever engineering with light weight materials blended with modern construction such as the tubes of the Carbon Bridge Technology that give the ski a playful rebound with smooth energy. The Amphibio design of different rocker and camber on the inside and outside profiles works perfectly with the shaping to provide effortless handling whether the snow is soft or chopped and heavy. Mount this with a pin set up for an extraordinarily light yet high-performance ski.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It’s an all-rounder: smooth and flowing when the snow is fresh; responsive and precise when it gets firmer. The width means it prefers firmer or less deep snow as it doesn’t have the float of some of the wider models, but the dimensions do mean it is nimble and quicker to respond.Skier TypeIt’s a light ski but it doesn’t lack in performance so it can be pushed hard, yet the shape ensures it is never demanding to ski. Perfect for a mix of abilities from good intermediates to expert skiers.OverviewShapeThe relatively long taper on the tip and tail give the ski comfortable handling whatever the conditions and create effortless turn initiation and release. 88mm in the waist is ideal for touring where the snow is less likely to reach bottomless levels, meaning it is lighter and performs better when conditions aren’t so deep or fresh.

Stable, smooth and precise yet still playful, the Black edition is one the most impressive and versatile skis on the mountain. Using the same platform as the excellent Ripstick 96, it builds on this by increasing the amount of carbon and using QuadRod technology in the core, resulting in better precision and edge grip with no significant extra weight. On hardpack it is powerful and confident, in soft snow it floats and handle like a true freeride thoroughbred, all the time with the most effortless handling and control.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This a great example of a freeride ski, capable of skiing anywhere on the mountain, not just powder or mainly firm conditions, but everywhere. Taking everything that is good about the standard Ripstick and by adding extra carbon and QuadRod technology, the Black edition adds an extra level of performance with increased precision, grip and response. It's got the width and shape to work really well in soft snow, with good float and easy handling. The Amphibio asymmetric camber/rocker aids the edge hold and feeling of positivity on pistes without making the ski any harder to use. There's no metal in the ski but thanks to Amphibio Carbon Line it doesn’t need it for hard snow performance. The flex feels perfect on all terrain, even on the steepest, firmest runs the Black edition still delivers. Thanks to it being relatively lightweight, mounting it with a BC binding is an option if you want to do the occasional trip away from the lifts. Skier TypeThe Ripstick is aimed at advanced and expert skiers wanting a freeride option, maybe as a single ski quiver or maybe as a second ski to compliment a piste model. There's no metal but the use of the Amphibio Carbon Line technology means it still delivers the precision that the best skiers demand and thanks to clever design, it isn't tricky to use. OverviewShape96mm in the waist is a key part of what makes this a true freeride ski that can double as an all mountain model for those who want ultimate versatility. It's wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the frontside. The tip and tail taper design keeps it feeling comfortable in every turn shape, on any surface. The relatively long nose and tail provide forgiveness and stability.RockerRipsticks use Amphibio technology, a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. These skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability, while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.CoreThe Tubelite Woodcore uses two super lightweight carbon tubes inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the sidecut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability. expanding on this for the Black edition skis is QuadRod reinforcement, two additional carbon rods in the centre of the ski, one in the tip and one in the tail. This delivers next level smoothness and grip, with a natural flex pattern for the perfect blend of playful, yet powerful performance.ConstructionSST construction uses sidewalls ensure quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.Key FeaturesAmphibio Carbon Line TechnologyAmphibio Carbon Line technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance.

Stable, smooth and precise yet still playful, the Black edition is one the most impressive and versatile skis on the mountain. Using the same platform as the excellent Ripstick 96, it builds on this by increasing the amount of carbon and using QuadRod technology in the core, resulting in better precision and edge grip with no significant extra weight. On hardpack it is powerful and confident, in soft snow it floats and handle like a true freeride thoroughbred, all the time with the most effortless handling and control.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This a great example of a freeride ski, capable of skiing anywhere on the mountain, not just powder or mainly firm conditions, but everywhere. Taking everything that is good about the standard Ripstick and by adding extra carbon and QuadRod technology, the Black edition adds an extra level of performance with increased precision, grip and response. It's got the width and shape to work really well in soft snow, with good float and easy handling. The Amphibio asymmetric camber/rocker aids the edge hold and feeling of positivity on pistes without making the ski any harder to use. There's no metal in the ski but thanks to Amphibio Carbon Line it doesn’t need it for hard snow performance. The flex feels perfect on all terrain, even on the steepest, firmest runs the Black edition still delivers. Thanks to it being relatively lightweight, mounting it with a BC binding is an option if you want to do the occasional trip away from the lifts. Skier TypeThe Ripstick is aimed at advanced and expert skiers wanting a freeride option, maybe as a single ski quiver or maybe as a second ski to compliment a piste model. There's no metal but the use of the Amphibio Carbon Line technology means it still delivers the precision that the best skiers demand and thanks to clever design, it isn't tricky to use. OverviewShape96mm in the waist is a key part of what makes this a true freeride ski that can double as an all mountain model for those who want ultimate versatility. It's wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the frontside. The tip and tail taper design keeps it feeling comfortable in every turn shape, on any surface. The relatively long nose and tail provide forgiveness and stability.RockerRipsticks use Amphibio technology, a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. These skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability, while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.CoreThe Tubelite Woodcore uses two super lightweight carbon tubes inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the sidecut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability. expanding on this for the Black edition skis is QuadRod reinforcement, two additional carbon rods in the centre of the ski, one in the tip and one in the tail. This delivers next level smoothness and grip, with a natural flex pattern for the perfect blend of playful, yet powerful performance.ConstructionSST construction uses sidewalls ensure quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.Key FeaturesAmphibio Carbon Line TechnologyAmphibio Carbon Line technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance. Amphibio Carbon Line technology elevates the asymmetrical ski design to the next level by strategically locating carbon reinforcement over the inside edges of the skis providing more power in the turn, while carbon rods inserted into the woodcore maximize weight savings and overall stability. The end result is an extremely lightweight high-performance ski with uncompromised versatility and smooth performance.100% Recycled VaporTip ReinforcementVaporTip inserts are advanced composites integrated into the tip and tail area of the ski's core.

The elan Voyager is the world’s first high-performance, folding all mountain ski. A convenient option that folds down to under 1m for easy storage and carriage; and a no compromise ski for demanding skiers. The key is elan’s revolutionary Connect Technology, a four axis system mechanism that bonds and seals the ski at the folding joint and integrates with a carbon reinforced plate that serves as a load bearing platform. Surprisingly simple to use and exceptionally strong it’s unlike anything else on the mountain. It isn’t just a high-tech piece of engineering, it’s also an impressive performer on piste with design borrowed from race products and thanks to the 78mm waist and Amphibio rocker it is also very capable away from the groomers. The package consists of skis, bindings, telescopic poles, carry bag plus snow removal brush and drying cloth. exclusive to ellis Brigham.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It’s piste focused, but not exclusively for groomed terrain. It has enough width to deal with some exploring and fresh snow too. The construction ensures it will handle the firmest and fastest runs with precision, power and grip.Skier TypeIt might fold but this does not affect the performance in any way, this is high speed cruiser that delivers power and grip when you push it, but thanks to Amphibio Technology it’s never hard to ski either. Ideal for advanced skiers who want convenience and performance.OverviewShape78mm in the waist hits the jackpot for a ski that will rip trenches on the piste and still enjoy runs down the sides of marked trails and in fresh snow. The radius is ideal for a mix of turn shapes and the contact points are near the ends of the tip and tail to maximise the contact length and edge grip.RockerAmphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis.

As used on elan’s race models.Key FeaturesConnect Folding TechnologyThe secret of the Voyager is elan’s revolutionary Connect Technology® which uses a four-axis mechanism that bonds and seals the ski together at the folding joint. This combines with a carbon-reinforced fusion plate that serves as a load-bearing platform for support. The two components work together to provide rigidity to the ski for superior performance, but also allow the ski to fold into a compact, easy to transport package. The ski delivers a never-seen-before folding functionality, so part of design is in the role of intuitive folding ability. The fold/unfold is achieved by rotational moves to allow snow or ice to slide out of the way. The areas that are exposed to folding & rotation are designed with care for long-term usage, even after countless repetition. From folded position to unfolded position, it takes around 15-30 seconds to assemble both skis into skiing position. It is a very convenient and easy process. First, you unlock the safety mechanism, then unfold it, rotate the plate in any direction, and align it to the ski. To finish the process, lock the mechanisms in front and back of the plate and release the brake lock to secure the skiing mode. every step of the process is marked on the ski itself to prevent errors. The reverse process is the same in time and steps.Voyager 1-Pair Ski BagPremium ski bag designed specifically to carry the Voyager skis and poles.
