The Elan Truflex 76 LS Ski and EL 10. 0 GW Shift Binding make an all-mountain ski and binding package where both parts are light, which cuts fatigue over a full day of groomer laps. Truflex construction blends a balanced flex with responsive energy return, so the ski stays smooth through turns and the binding keeps power transfer confident. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The binding takes either alpine or GripWalk boot soles, so I don't worry about whether a newer skier's next boots will fit. The ski turns short and forgiving, which leaves room to think about technique instead of fighting the skis."
