Product Description: The bestselling Elan Ripstick 88 Skis undergo some design tweaks for the new season, with slightly reduced sidecut in all sizes aimed at making the ski more stable at speed and UD Carbon and Flax Fiber added to the layup. "Less hooky" and "more lively" are both good things for a ski that already was hugely popular as a frontside weapon among women in the know.
