Rise of Tele-pinion

Why We Ride It

The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition is built for skiers who crave more width and power for deeper snow and bigger terrain. With extra carbon reinforcements, it delivers unmatched stability and energy, making it perfect for charging hard while still keeping the playful and versatile feel that defines the Ripstick line. We tested these in the PNW on groomers, powder, and refrozen crud at Snoqualmie, Stevens Pass, Crystal, and Mission Ridge - the 102 Black Edition brings confidence to every turn.

For telemark skiers, the Ripstick 102 Black Edition takes freeheeling to another level. Its wider platform offers incredible float in deep snow, while the asymmetric design and carbon enhancements ensure balanced, powerful turns. From wide-open pow fields to variable Cascade crud, this ski is a beast that doesn’t back down.

Use for: telemark skis, freeride skis, groomers, off-piste, powder, refrozen crud
