2026 Elan Playmaker 111 Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Elan Playmaker 111 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a powder-hungry twin tip that thrives on creativity, style, and soft-snow performance. As the widest ski in Elanâs Playmaker series, itâs built for deep days and boundary-pushing linesâdesigned to float, spin, and stomp no matter how deep the storm. We paired the Playmaker 111 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attackâs light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.
Why we like it:
It has the soul of a freestyle ski with the chops of a freeride weapon. The Playmaker 111 surfs, slashes, and pivots with ease, making it a great option for all day deep skiing without fatigue.
Who it's for:
Perfect for advanced to expert skiers with a creative approach to terrain. Whether youâre dropping cliffs, buttering wind lips, or lacing up switch landings, the Playmaker 111 is your canvas. Skiers who value style and surf over speed and stiffness will feel right at home.
Highlights:
At 111 mm underfoot, this ski brings effortless float in powder and a loose, slashy feel that invites playful skiing in soft snow. Elanâs Tubelite wood core is reinforced with carbon rods for energy and rebound, while the Amphibio Twin designâan asymmetric shape unique to Elanâadds grip to your downhill edge without sacrificing freestyle feel. Symmetrical rocker tip and tail make switch skiing and soft landings easy, while the nearly symmetrical profile encourages creativity across natural features. The Attack 14 GWâs FR PRO3 Toe contains 30 mm of elastic travel which provides a smooth and confidence inspiring feel when tracking though variable snow while also recentering the boot to its neutral position extremely well to keep you locked in, acting almost like a suspension system. NX FR Heel pieces have 16 mm of elastic travel which assists in prevent false-releases. These heel pieces also make stepping into and out of bindings with ease, even in deep snow.
Things to consider:
This isnât a ski for directional hard chargers or icy groomer lovers. The twin tip and loose tail feel less precise when trying to rail turns, and the lack of metal reinforcement means youâll get more play than power. For skiers who want to drive hard through firm snow or push high speeds, a burlier freeride ski might be a better fit.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Choose your usual freeride length, size up for more float and stability, or size down for a looser, more playful ride in tight terrain or trees.
