The 2023 Elan Ripstick Tour 94 is a lightweight, versatile and fun-loving all-mountain touring ski. Without compromising weight or performance, The Ripstick Tour was developed to be the ultimate blend of downhill ski-ability and uphill efficiency. And at around just 1500 grams the Ripstick Tour 94 does just that.
Like other Ripsticks, the Tour series features Elan’s Amphibio Profile which integrates unique rocker and camber profiles into each of the skis to create dedicated left and right skis. This tech enables the skis to be incredibly versatile: precise and controlled on the piste while also floaty and free on softer snow. Carbon Bridge Technology sees a single carbon rod added to the upper part of the ski. This addition provides stability, damping and vibration absorption through the tips. These skis also feature a tip-to-tail Laminated Woodcore. This material is extremely responsive and very durable. Power transmission is direct and immediate and works well across a variety of conditions. Carbon, thanks to its ultra lightweight and extreme strength, plays a huge role in the Ripsticks. Carbon stringers provide additional support and stability in the parts of the ski that need it most. Fiberglass Reinforcements optimize the flex pattern to be both forgiving and versatile while also adding to the torsional rigidity of the ski.
The G3 ZED 9 is a lightweight, high performance touring binding based off of the much loved G3 ION. The ZED has an incredible combination of simplicity, efficiency and reliability. The ZED truly stands confident in a league of its own with all the power and performance of a much heavier modern touring binding, but packs it into a super light and simple package.
With its simple design, easy to use nature and lightweight construction, the ZED has quickly become one of our favorite alpine touring bindings. Despite weighing just 680 grams, there are lighter bindings out there but if safety-oriented features, simplicity, and ease of use are more important to you than counting every gram, then the ZED will likely become one of your favorites as well.

Special Safety Notice for Bindings: We urge you to take your boots and bindings to a shop certified by the binding's 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.
