The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 skis with tech bindings defines a new touring category for Elan targeting earn your turns enthusiasts. The Tour 88 was created as a trimmed down version of the resort oriented Ripstick 88 from last season, just with a lighter build for the uphill but with the same downhill chops and capabilities of an on-piste ski. This ski was made to be uber-light, tipping the scales at feathery 1330 grams at the 177-centimeter length. Pair this with a lightweight tech binding and you have a killer touring package that is equally as capable on the uphill as it is on the downhill. The light weight is attained by Carbon Bridge technology, which involves additional strips of Carbon that are placed along the inside edges of the ski, providing a great deal power and grip. In additional to providing great edge hold, the Carbon and woodcore livens up the ski underfoot, and helps keep its weight feathery light. This would be a great package for someone who lives in regions like the Northeast or Midwest where annual snowfall totals are less than ideal. And where inches are received rather than feet. These are also the type of areas where hardpack conditions are more consistent, and where a daily driver ski of 88-millimeters under foot would be ideal for hardpack, and when mother nature cooperates, a fresh dumping to put your signature on. The Elan Ripstick Tour 88 skis with tech bindings would be a great match for ski tourers looking for fitness and fresh tracks in regions where snow storms can be few and far between.
