The Elan Ripstick Tour 80 opens up a world of backcountry adventure for young skiers ready to explore beyond the resort boundaries. This junior-specific touring ski combines the lightweight agility kids need for uphill skinning with the downhill performance that makes the descent pure joy. Built with a twin compound wood core and early rise rocker profile, the 140cm length delivers excellent float in powder while remaining forgiving enough for developing technique on varied terrain. At 80mm underfoot with a 13-meter turn radius, it strikes the perfect balance between climbing efficiency and carving capability, letting ambitious young adventurers tackle everything from groomed backcountry runs to their first powder stashes with confidence and control.
