elan skis

Hi! I have read posts on Pugski for over a month, and have seen some Pugskis stickers on lift towers, but this is my first thread here. I'm 26, 5' 10" and now 240 lbs. I consider myself to be an East Coast expert skier and an advanced skier at Jackson Hole. I ski glades, moguls, and groomers...

What would be better for Powder , Elan ripstick 86 or Head Monster 83? I am not big fan of Powder ,but like to have second pair of the skis for one of those days and do not need anything wider then 86 . Thank you .

I see quite a few criticisms around of skis like the Ripsticks, where reviewers wish Elan would drop the Amphibio left ski / right ski scheme. So it has me wondering if it just a criticism of the ski construction itself as needlessly gimmicky, or more generally, about forcing skiers to put a...

I love my new Ripstick 88s (179): very playful, light weight, soft flex, but can still somehow hold an edge and arc turns. I had an interesting day at Baker last time up. Conditions were a thin layer of refrozen melt on top of 4 inches of new snow on top of hard chalk. I started the day on my...

@Philpug and I arrived in Denver last night, picked up our credentials and took a sneak peek while exhibitors were setting up. We're hitting the ground running this morning and will be reporting from the floor. Stay tuned. *when this thread is opens this morning, the other two threads will...

We are starting to see some of the 2021 gear trickle out either in the consumer graphics or in this case a "prototype" graphic that is supposed to create some buzz. Well, advertiser Elan just sent me one such pair. Elan is sticking to its guns with the Amphibio construction with these new...

More than a few testers and readers have demoed these new halo skis from Elan’s Wingman collection and returned very impressed. I was wondering how to do Cage Matches with them, which skis I wanted them to go against and which skis people would be comparing them against, and then it hit me...

Elan skis produced this article just days before Davo met an untimely death in a work related accident Down the Mountain on His Skis August 14, 2019 ^^^This is a really interesting read ^^^ Just days later he was involved in a tree cutting incident and succumbed to his injuries. Davo was...

Elan on Instagram: We're excited to announce that "Always Good Times" will continue with Glen Plake and Elan Skis for another 3 years! For 12 seasons, Glen has been an integral part of Elan's success, helping innovate world class skis and serving as the best ambassador to the sport of skiing...

It appears that all the insider Pugs have been given the green light by the Powers That Be to let loose with their reviews of 2020 model year skis, so I figured I'd pile on with some quick notes on skis Phil and Tricia were nice enough to lay out in Colorado a few weeks ago. Conditions: I would...

This week on Chairlift Chat we review the Elan Ripstick 88 with Glen Plake! Super fun ski, we had a blast skiing and chatting with Glen.

You have an opportunity to sell brand new skis and ski boots to the beginner market. In the past you have sold Elan, Fischer and Alpina. Going forward Elan probably still makes good business sense, maybe even Fischer of skis too. What would you do for boots? How many brands would you carry...

Anyone know who makes the Traverse skis?

YESSSSSSSSSSS! https://www.snewsnet.com/press-release/glen-plake-brings-back-the-down-home-tour-to-small-ski-areas-in-the-us Begunje, Slovenia (Nov. 13, 2018) – Elan Skis, handcrafted skis 100% made in the Alps for over 70 years, is thrilled to announce that long time Elan athlete and ski...

Here is a Cage Match that could have happened last year, but no one requested it. It is hard to argue with what Head is doing right now. It is hitting on all cylinders, and the Kores are no exception. Head has been able to produce a light yet powerful ski with the Kore, and it’s a winner ... but...

It looks like Elan has a Black Edition 96 Ripstick coming out for this ski season. Has anyone had a chance to try it out yet? I have been curious if Black Edition is going to be available on Ripstick 106 in future. I really enjoyed the Ripstick 96 and 106 on Demo day last year. The Ripstick...

We were smitten with the SLX and GSX last year at SIA and had them as Best in Show; that enthusiasm carried over this year with those also being Tester's Choice winners for this coming season. Look for their ads and contact @dawgcatching, who is an Elan dealer and will be able to help you with...
