2025 Elan Wingman 78 C Ski w EL 10.0 GW Shift Binding
The 2025 Elan Wingman 78 C with EL 10.0 Shift GW binding is a nimble frontside carver designed to bring all day fun without the demands of a heavy ski. Thanks to a lightweight wood core bolstered by carbon fiber, the 78 C offers an energetic and playful feel, and Elan’s Amphibio Technology ensures that every turn feels intuitive and effortless, making it an ideal option for a day full of fun and progression.
Why we like it:
We love how versatile this ski is for progressing skiers – it’s accessible at more moderate speeds, yet has the chops to stay with you as you begin to push your skills to the next level.
Who it's for:
Intermediate to advanced skiers looking for a more easygoing frontside carver will enjoy the intuitive nature of the 78 C.
Highlights:
The Wingman 78 C is impressively light weight and energetic, thanks to Elan’s AirLite Woodcore, made from light and strong Paulownia wood bolstered with Carbon rods that run the length of the ski. Carbon works to enhance the energetic feel of the ski, providing a predictable flex and rebound for consistent yet lively turns. Amphibio technology applies an asymmetrical design to the rocker profile of the skis, resulting in easy turn initiation and an intuitive feel.
Things to consider:
With a nice big sweet spot, the Wingman 78 C is an accessible and fun ski, but those looking for top-end performance will find these are not the best choice for high speed stability. It should be noted that there is a left and right ski here, so it’s important to be aware of that when clicking in to your bindings for the day.
