evo.com | Elan Skis > Elan's long ago nailed the smooth-turning all-mountain category with their Ripstick series, but what if you want to ride switch and toss a couple tricks into your routine on the way down the hill? Creative types can rest easy with the new Elan Playmaker 91 Skis, designed to roll forward or backward with equal ease and still give you optimal performance on edge. Built around a Tubelite wood core with dual carbon rods built into the wood, and with ample rocker at both ends, the Playmaker 91 is able to mix up all manner of tricks and turns to match your mood. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Sintered UHMW Base Tubelite Wood Core To create the TubeLite Wood Core, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. Measuring 5mm in diameter and hollow in their construction, these tubes run along the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.
