Elan Ripstick 100 W Flat are high-performance women’s all-mountain/freeride skis for experienced and sport-oriented skiers looking for a versatile model for powder, off-piste terrain and a combination of groomed slopes and soft snow. With a 100 mm waist, they sit between wide all-mountain and freeride skis – providing plenty of surface area for deeper snow without being as wide as models primarily designed for deep powder.
At the heart of the construction is a lightweight Tubelite Woodcore, complemented by Carbon Deck Technology, Carbon Rods, UD Carbon and Flax Fiber. The result is a modern construction focused on low weight and sporty performance. One ski in the 168 cm length weighs just 1535 ± 50 g, an impressive figure for a ski with a 100 mm waist and an important advantage for skiers who do not want an unnecessarily heavy ski when exploring varied terrain.
A characteristic feature of the model is the Amphibio Profile combining Camber and Rocker. Together with the 134-100-114 mm geometry and a radius ranging from 14.8 to 17.8 m depending on length, it creates a versatile platform suitable for different snow conditions and turn shapes. Compared with the wider Ripstick 106 W, the 100 mm waist makes this model a more versatile choice for skiers who do not want a ski exclusively for deep snow but are looking for a model that can handle a broader range of mountain conditions.
The model is supplied Flat, without bindings, allowing the binding setup to be selected according to the intended use, ski boots and individual requirements.
Who are these skis designed for
Elan Ripstick 100 W Flat are primarily designed for experienced and sport-oriented female skiers who want to combine freeride with all-mountain skiing without being limited to just one type of terrain. The product classification places them in the All Mountain/All Round and Freeride categories, with intended use ranging from powder to a combination of groomed and ungroomed snow.
The model is particularly suitable for skiers who:
are looking for versatile women’s all-mountain/freeride skis
alternate between groomed pistes, chopped-up snow and off-piste terrain
want good performance in powder
prefer a 100 mm waist
require low weight relative to the ski’s width
want a combination of Camber + Rocker
prefer a Tubelite Woodcore
are looking for a construction incorporating several carbon elements
want a sport-oriented character
prefer a Flat version with the freedom to choose their own bindings
Ripstick 100 W are a suitable alternative for skiers who find traditional narrow piste skis too limiting for off-piste skiing but do not need a ski as wide as models primarily focused on deep powder.
How the skis perform in different conditions
The 134-100-114 mm geometry positions the Ripstick 100 W in the versatile category between all-mountain and freeride. The 100 mm waist provides sufficient surface area for soft and deeper snow while maintaining a narrower platform than wider freeride models.
The Amphibio (Camber + Rocker) profile combines two different profile concepts within the ski’s construction. The supplied technical information confirms the Camber + Rocker combination, although the exact distribution of the individual profile sections is not specified.
Depending on length, the radius ranges from 14.8 to 17.8 m. The shorter lengths have a medium radius and geometrically support more compact turns, while the nominal radius progressively increases with ski length.
Low weight is another important parameter. The manufacturer specifies 1535 ± 50 g for one ski in the 168 cm length. This helps maintain the lightweight character of the model despite its 100 mm waist.
How to read the specifications
134-100-114 mm geometry
The dimensions 134-100-114 mm represent the width of the ski at the tip, underfoot and at the tail.
The key figure is the 100 mm waist. This width sits at the transition between wide all-mountain and freeride-oriented skis. It provides significantly more surface area than conventional piste skis, which is beneficial in soft and deeper snow.
The 134 mm tip and 114 mm tail complete a geometry designed for versatile use across different snow conditions.
14.8–17.8 m radius
The manufacturer specifies:
154 cm – 14.8 m
161 cm – 15.8 m
168 cm – 16.8 m
175 cm – 17.8 m
As ski length increases, the nominal radius increases consistently. The shorter versions are therefore geometrically associated with shorter turns, while the longer versions provide a larger nominal radius.
When selecting the appropriate length, the skier’s height and weight, technical ability, preferred terrain, skiing speed and desired balance between maneuverability and stability should all be considered.
Lengths 154–175 cm
Ripstick 100 W Flat are available in:
154 cm
161 cm
168 cm
175 cm
The broad range of lengths makes it possible to match the ski to different physical characteristics and skiing styles. A shorter version will generally be easier to maneuver, while a longer ski provides a larger overall surface area and is also associated with a larger nominal radius.
Weight 1535 ± 50 g
The manufacturer specifies:
1535 ± 50 g – one ski in 168 cm
The stated figure applies to one ski, not the complete pair. The manufacturer also specifies a tolerance of ± 50 g.
Specific weights for the other lengths are not included in the supplied technical information and should therefore not be estimated or calculated.
Technologies
Amphibio Profile
Ripstick 100 W use an Amphibio Profile, defined in the technical description as a combination of Camber + Rocker.
This solution is one of the characteristic construction features of the model. However, the exact proportions or lengths of the individual camber and rocker sections are not provided in the supplied information and should therefore not be specified without additional manufacturer data.
Carbon Deck Technology
One of the main construction elements is Carbon Deck Technology, which forms part of the complete construction together with Carbon Rods, UD Carbon, Flax Fiber and Tubelite Woodcore.
The use of this technology confirms the significant presence of carbon elements within the model’s construction. However, the exact arrangement of the individual Carbon Deck Technology elements is not specified in the supplied technical information.
Carbon Rods
The construction incorporates Carbon Rods, carbon elements integrated into the ski’s construction.
Together with Carbon Deck Technology and UD Carbon, they form part of the model’s carbon-based construction. The exact number, diameter and positioning of the Carbon Rods are not specified in the supplied technical information.
UD Carbon
Another construction element is UD Carbon, which is listed among the official technologies of the Ripstick 100 W.
It is combined with Carbon Deck Technology, Carbon Rods, Flax Fiber and Tubelite Woodcore. The exact orientation, quantity and positioning of the carbon layers are not specified in the supplied information.
Flax Fiber
The construction also incorporates Flax Fiber, which Elan combines in this model with carbon technologies and the wood core.
The exact positioning, amount and detailed function of the Flax Fiber elements are not described in the supplied information. It should therefore be presented as a confirmed construction element without adding unsupported technical claims.
Tubelite Woodcore
At the heart of the ski is the Tubelite Woodcore, a wood core forming the main structural foundation of the construction.
The core is combined with several carbon elements and the other technologies used in the model. The exact wood composition and detailed internal structure of the core are not specified in the supplied technical information.
SST – Slanted Sidewall Technology
The model uses SST Sidewall – Slanted Sidewall Technology, a specific sidewall construction listed by the manufacturer as part of the ski’s technical design.
SST Sidewall is combined with the Tubelite Woodcore and the other construction elements. The exact angle, material and additional parameters of the sidewalls are not specified in the supplied information.
Sintered High Speed Gliding Base
Ripstick 100 W are equipped with a Sintered High Speed Gliding Base, a sintered base designed for performance-oriented use.
The exact material composition, base structure and factory waxing process are not specified in the supplied technical information.
Flat version and recommended binding
Elan Ripstick 100 W are supplied in a Flat version, meaning bindings are not included. This allows the skier to select bindings according to the intended use, individual requirements and compatibility with the ski boots.
The manufacturer recommends:
ATTACK 14 MN, B110
The B110 version uses a brake width suitable for this ski. When selecting and mounting bindings, compatibility with the specific ski boot and the correct mounting parameters should always be verified. Installation and safety adjustment of the bindings should be carried out by a professional ski service.
