Manufacturer's Description

The Elan Ripstick 120 LTD ski is a big phat, surfy ski that’s the ultimate powder crushing machine following legendary Boomerang model. These are 120mm at the waist, so they are by all means wide, with Elan’s revolutionary BC rocker to boot. There is a good amount of camber underfoot to keep you on edge while skiing groomers. Ripstick 120 LTD will bust right through the crud, effortlessly keeping you on your feet and skiing all day.

Ski Review: Don’t be put off by the size (girth) of this ski.  It is surprisingly nimble for 120mm under foot.  Generous tip and tail rocker mean its effective edge length is significantly shorter than 190cm. Hence no problem on groomers.

But it is in pow where the Ripstick 120 comes into its own.  With a new generation tip shape and amble rocker, the front of the skis float exceptionally well.

This ski is the final iteration of Elan’s Boomerang.  It was only produced in its Ripstick carnation for one year.  Still available if you look on-line.  Get it while you can.
