Dang, I searched everywhere and couldn't find that info. Thanks
They can be had for $130 on ebay. I was surprised with full side walls.

I am betting that Elan is making these skis, especially since they tlk about Austrian components. Their factory is on the Austria Slovenia border. Heck, back in the day they Pre, Research Dynamics, and many other popular skis. Plus, they make a great ski!!

That is what I was thinking. 3rd party skis usually say built in Slovenia, but not these.
Bet they’d make a decent early/late season powder ski. What was the flex like? You able to weigh them at all?
They look kinda like an Armada ARV 116 profile without the semi cap near the tips so they will probably chip easily but at $140 a pair who cares. Lol
Too bad the narrow ones are so ugly as they might be decent too for a rock ski.
Btw-you CAN RIP groomers on a 116mm ski if it has Moment Bibby/Wildcat on the top sheet.

They seemed pretty flexy. The metal in them is just for mounting and doesn't go long enough toward the tail. The last two holes I drilled had no metal.
At that price, would be worth just for fun.
The softer flex and short binding mount area makes them sound less attractive even at the cheap price. Getting a decent used ski for a bit more money would be better. I paid under $300 for my “used 3 times” 2018 Bibby’s and got my PB&Js for even less!

Looks like they're made in China, based on an item catalog I have access to. They only made it in a 168, 178, and 184, which is weirdly short for a men's pow ski, and the fact that the binding mount wasn't long is a pretty big red flag from an R&D perspective. Shoddy packaging is also a cited issue.
Life is too short to waste your ski days on sub-par skis.
Looks more park than powder...with only 5mm of taper. I think these are for skiing switch as much as they are for skiing regular.
