Description

We offer for sale skis with defects in appearance. They are brand new, guaranteed by the brand and have no manufacturing defects. The top-sheet has been slightly damaged during transport or storage in our warehouse.

A grading according to condition has been established. These skis have been graded 2*, meaning that they have barely visible defects.

As part of Elan's freeride ski range, the Ripstick 96 is a dynamic, lightweight model designed to link turns in powder while remaining stable on piste. Like many Elan skis, it is equipped with the Amphibio profile which, with a rocker more pronounced on the outer side than on the inner side, offers better grip and facilitates curve entry.

What's in the Elan Ripstick 96 ski program?

The Ripstick 96 benefits from a lightweight construction with a wood core, fiberglass and carbon tubes, making it maneuverable in all conditions. Ready to tackle any mountain slope, it offers remarkable handling and stability thanks to a carbon plate under the tip. In powder, its 96 mm underfoot ensures good flotation for intense freeride sessions. And even when conditions are less ideal, the Ripstick 96 retains excellent grip on more compact snow, with a good ability to relaunch at the end of turns, for fun in all weathers!

Who is the Elan Ripstick 96 ski for?

It's perfect for intermediate to advanced skiers looking for a versatile ski that performs well in powder and is dynamic on groomed snow.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

After using our calculator, you can explore further with our guides (depending on your skiing style):

And to see the method in action, here’s our video tutorial (example focused on piste / all-mountain skiing, with useful benchmarks whatever your style).

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?

At glisshop.co.uk, you’ll find one of the most comprehensive ski selections available online. To choose the right pair, start with three simple criteria: your ability level, your preferred terrain (piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, touring), and your budget.

To refine your selection, several options are available:

  1. The advanced search tool: located at the top of each category page, it allows you to filter by brand, skill level, discipline, and more. By combining these filters, you can quickly narrow down the range and easily find the models best suited to your skiing style.

  2. Contact us on 020 3129 3301: a pair of skis is a technical piece of equipment. Before placing your order, it’s best to make sure the model truly meets your expectations. Our team is here to advise you.

To go further and understand the differences between ski types, take a look at our comprehensive guide 'Which skis to choose?'.

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
