Hi all. I am 173 cm, ~82kg (5'8", ~180lbs) intermediate-advanced skier in my early 50-ies. I most often ski on a groomed terrain, which usually becomes chopped-up / slushy with moguls (especially steeper red slopes) in the afternoon. I have no difficulty skiing on blue and red slopes (European...

Beginner here, got a pair of 2023 Elan Explore Sport Skis With EL 9.0 Bindings for $200, how long will these last me? i got it because it was on sale, but then did some more research and found out apparently if binding is too old, then shops will refuse to work on them for safety reasons. i...

I just got a secondhand pair of Elan Amphibio WaveFlex 12 (full specs here) and was having some thoughts on the edge angles. Each ski has a rockered edge on the outside of the ski, and a cambered edge on the inside of the ski. The idea is when turning the downhill ski will have full edge contact...

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...

Me: 140 lbs, 57, 5' 7" east coaster, beer leaguer, finesse skier, skiing 52 years Ski: Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition @ 174cm, mounted on the line with Attack 13 AT binders. (This is just a smidge over top-of-head height for me.) Bought these skis new on spec over the summer, mostly on the...

At my camps and clinics I like to take a quick review of some basic skills and one of them is the “Kick Turn”. As a boy I learned to kick turn in my back yard. This was one of the first skills my older brothers drilled into me. Over the years I have used this valuable skill to reverse my...

Skiing is a Zen sport. The essence of the experience is to escape from the mundane routine of life and step into the adventure of the now. Gliding on, over and through snow provides us with the opportunity to experience, observe and express the emotion of being wrapped in a winter day. It is...

Hey there! So I absolutely LOVED my Elan Speedwave 12's (168 length, 116/69/105 mm dimensions), but they are pretty beat up so I am looking for my next pair of skis. For context, I am 5'10 and love being able to go anywhere on the mountain, but my favorite thing to do is bomb long steep to...

I have not seen any ELAN skis on World Cup athletes of either gender in years. They are popular on the SkierCross circuit and they still make FIS race skis. Why are they not used on WC?

Here are links to all of the reviews we have compiled of the 2019 skis. Full List By brand:

I mainly ski frontside. My kids take me into tracked out trees and scare me to death because I cant maneuver fast enough and the bumps are closer together than my skis are long. I love to tear down an unpopulated groomed run and I keep attempting black bumps but they win everytime so far. We ski...

I just wanted to see how video works. I assume it's pretty generic. Here we go.....
