Description The award-winning Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition has returned, ready to hammer hardpack and charge through choppy snow with power, agility, and flowy ease. These skis offer increased stability at speed, making quick work of choppy and broken snow, allowing them to maintain a more direct course down the fall line. The Black Edition is a smoother, faster, stiffer, and damper version of the Ripstick 96. While the regular Ripstick 96 is more amenable to flexing through bumps and crud and powder, the Black Edition is happier blowing right through them. Turn initiation is a bit crisper, the speed limit is a bit higher, and the overall composure is slightly elevated.
