Elan Ripstick 102W + Marker Squire 11

The Ripstick 102 W is designed by women for skiers pushing their limits and searching for tough lines and deep snow. 

This freeride-oriented ski is intuitive, versatile, and still stable at speed despite its lightweight construction. At 102 underfoot, this ski can handle a bit of everything. This width will excel in softer snow conditions but is narrow enough for agility in hardpack conditions making this a great all-mountain, everyday ski. 

The addition of TNT technology combines woodcore from tip to tail, with carbon rods along each rail and Vapor tip inserts in the tip and tail to reduce swing weight and chatter. Like the other Ripsticks, the Ripstick 102’s rocker profile is asymmetrical, with the rocker lines on its inside edges being shorter than those on the outside. The goal — to create better edge hold and power transfer where you need it while maintaining a looser, easier-to-pivot feel on the outside edges.

This ski comes mounted with the Marker Squire 11 ID, an agile and super versatile binding for lightweight skiers and those just getting into the freeride and freestyle world. Thanks to a proven design and recent improvements, the Squire 11 is perfect for the progressing freeride skier. 

The Squire 11 features a construction that was designed with lightness in mind without forgetting about the binding's freestyle roots. With a 24mm stack height, this compact design lets you feel more in tune with your skis and improves control. The Triple Pivot Light 2 lightweight toe piece features an Ice Off Rail to scrape that snow off the bottom of your boots before stepping in. Speaking of stepping in, the Hollow Linkage 2 heel features a wider boot holder to reduce the force needed to step in by 30%. Who says compromises need to be made?

Special Safety Notice for Bindings: We urge you to take your boots and bindings to a shop certified by the bindings manufacturer to have a function check. The majority of shops will charge for this service. Even though we may, by request, check to see if a binding should fit your boot sole length, such an adjustment, and fit check does not verify that the bindings will release properly with your boot. Only a certified shop can do this, with the user's boots present.
