evo.com | Elan Skis > The man, the legend, the ski. It's hard to believe the Elan Ripstick Tour 104 Skis are Glen Plake's first signature model, but we can't think of a better candidate. Elan have paid tribute to Plake's mold-breaking style with a ski that combines raw freeride power with incredible agility and maneuverability, all at a touring friendly weight you can take to the skin track. They come with Elan's legendary Amphibio Profile, a light, snappy Tubelite Wood Core, and all new Carbon Bridge Technology for stability and vibration damping. Available in unisex lengths, the only thing missing is a perfectly coifed mohawk. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Carbon Bridge Technology Carbon Bridge Technology is a revolutionary solution where a single carbon rod placed on the upper part of the ski, providing stability, dampening, and vibration absorption through the tip. Carbon Reinforcement Carbon is an incredibly lightweight and strong material that provides additional support and reinforcement where it's needed most. 360deg Sidewall Pyramid shaped sidewall material is positioned throughout the whole body of the ski, increasing high speed stability and vibration absorption. Tubelite Wood Core To create the TubeLite Wood Core, lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. 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. When the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings first dropped, they represented a quantum leap forward in freeride binding design.

MNC compatibility means they play nice with almost every boot in the known universe - a comforting notion given the dizzying array of options.
