Elan developed a signature model ski with world-famous freeskiing legend Glen Plake was an honor. Plake is among the best freeskiers in the world and knows what skiing represents, which is why we broke the mold to create something worthy of wearing Plake's name.
The Ripstick Tour 104 chassis is 104 mm underfoot and utilizes ground breaking carbon construction, to achieve what was believed to be an illusion; the perfect blend of freeride power and touring agility. Packed with lightweight carbon and Carbon Bridge Technology, it merges mind-blowing downhill performance with lightweight uphill capability.
Plake's signature model was tested and confirmed with our C-RAIDER 12 tech bindings that are known for being strong, reliable, and lightweight, at just a mohawk-hair over 300 g. To complete the package, the Ripstick Tour 104 hybrid skins made with a mix of 65 % Mohair and 35 % nylon to achieve the perfect glide and grip ratio to support the ski in all situations. From the Alps of Europe to California's Sierra Nevada, Glen's ski is the choice for any freeskier seeking legendary performance and punk rock style.
Glen Plake´s first signature model has been a long time in the making and with the combined experience of Plake and Elan, a ski worthy of his signature is born.

the 360° side edge is a unique and effective solution to increase performance while maintaining low weight. The pyramid-shaped side edges are positioned along the entire length of the ski to increase vibration absorption and stability at high speed.
Carbon Bridge technology is a revolutionary solution with a single carbon rod placed on the top of the ski, providing stability, damping and vibration absorption through the tip.
Fiberglass reinforcement designed to provide balanced torsional stiffness, smooth handling and predictable ski performance.
The Amphibio technology is a unique, revolutionary innovation, combining the rocker and camber profiles. The secret lies in the left and right ski, featuring a cambered inside edge assuring edge grip and stability with the rockered outside edge for easier turning.
Carbon Reinforcement is a carbon reinforcement that supports structural strength while keeping weight low and contributes to a lively character of the ski.
Sintered High Speed Gliding Base is a sintered base designed for smooth glide and long-lasting durability.
Tubelite Woodcore is a wood core with integrated carbon tubes designed to reduce weight while providing smooth response and stable skiing performance.
