Description

Elan has found the ideal formula for an easy introduction to ski touring. The Ibex 78 combines a width of 78 mm, a wood shell of Laminated Woodcore and a Bridge construction which results in a ski weighing only 1,330 grams (per ski, in a 170 cm size) making it very light during ascents. Nevertheless, it remains a stable and firm ski for descents. 

What is the programme for the Elan Ibex 78 ski?  

The Ibex 78 will perfectly accompany you on your first ski touring outings and will also follow you as you progress. Thanks to it, you will be able to easily make your ascents and you will also be able to enjoy your efforts on the descent. The Bridge technology allows you to reduce weight and at the same time to have great performance in terms of skiability. Its 78 mm volume is not suitable for big powder, but you can really enjoy yourself on hard snow and on mixed snow. It is a stable ski, which easily enters curves thanks to its front rocker, holds its edge and trajectory well. Enough to make a series of beautiful turns and to fully enjoy the freedom offered by ski touring! 

Who is the Elan Ibex 78 ski for?  

We recommend this model to intermediate or advanced skiers looking for an introduction to ski touring. Accessible and upgradeable, the Ibex 78 will enable them to make their first outings on marked routes and to make rapid progress.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?
On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

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.
