2026 Elan Ripstick 102 Blem Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Elan Ripstick 102 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a playful and powerful freeride setup built for skiers who want float and finesse without added weight. With a 102 mm waist and carbon-reinforced construction, it’s ready for off-trail laps, side stashes, and firm groomers alike. Thanks to its unique asymmetrical design, the Ripstick 102 delivers intuitive performance in a wide range of terrain and conditions. We paired the ski with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s 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:
The Ripstick 102 hits that sweet spot between soft-snow fun and hardpack composure. It’s light enough for exploring the backside, yet delivers enough backbone to charge through chop and carve turns back to the lift.
Who it's for:
A great choice for intermediate to expert skiers who lean toward freeride terrain but still need something that holds its own on groomers. It’s an ideal daily driver out West, and a capable powder option for eastern skiers who want maneuverability without sacrificing stability.
Highlights:
The Amphibio profile gives each ski a distinct inside and outside edge for improved grip and fluid turn entry without losing the playful, surfy feel. Carbon rods inside the Tubelite Woodcore trim weight while adding energy and rebound, and Vapor Tip inserts at the extremities dampen vibrations for a smoother ride in mixed conditions. At 102 mm underfoot, this ski blends float and agility into a capable, go-anywhere package. The Attack 14 GW’s 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:
Heavier or more aggressive skiers tackling firm snow at speed may find the lightweight build a touch too lively in rougher terrain. These are blem skis, which means they feature small cosmetic flaws that won’t affect how they ski or their warranty coverage. For skiers who don’t mind a few aesthetic imperfections, this is a chance to grab a high-end ski at a great discount.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These ski true to size. For quicker handling or if you’re adding a touring binding, consider sizing down. Stick with your usual length for more float and high-speed confidence.
