Pre Order Information

We are excited to offer a number of products for the upcoming Winter for Pre-Order, the best way to lock in your new toys and ensure you don't miss out.

Payment Policy

Your payment will be taken in full upon placing the Order.

The Pre-Order is cancelable & fully refundable at any time for any reason up until the time the products arrive in the shop, from that date the standard 30 day return policy begins. 

Ordering Process

Products that are tagged Pre-Order will be available to purchase via the Pre-Order Button.

If a product is tagged Pre-Order and is showing out of stock, it is either sold out already or Pre-Order details are yet to be confirmed - we will not enable Pre-Order on a product until we have a comfortable level of security about arrival time.

 

When your Pre-Ordered products arrive, we will contact you to confirm shipping details. Your Order won't be shipped without this confirmation to ensure we don't ship to an unattended address. At this time we will also double check any mounting or package information.

If you are Pre-Ordering Skis and wish to build a package, just Pre-Order the skis and we can apply Package discounts later upon arrival of skis and bindings.

If you order products that are both In-Stock and available for Pre-Order in the same order, they will be held and shipped with the Pre-Order. If you want In-stock items to be sent immediately please place them in a separate order.

Description

The Elan Ripstick Black Edition 96 is an all mountain ski designed for versatility and all around performance. Perfect for intermediate to advanced skiers to make the most of off-piste conditions in Australia and softer snow conditions overseas.

The Black Edition of the Ripstick 96 is reinforced with Quad Carbon tubes, 2 extra over the Regular Ripstick 96 and layer of carbon to stiffen the ski and increase its power. The Black Edition is a strong ski for strong skiers.

For the 24/25 season, Elan have made some important changes to the construction and shape of the Ripsticks. They have shortened the radius the side cut, altered the lengths and softened the tip/tail. The combination of the changes is a ski that we are really impressed with. They are more manoeuvrable in tight spaces and manage cruddy snow better than previously.

The Ripstick 96 is backed by some amazing technology. The Skis are asymmetric and feature Elan's Amphibo rocker profile. This means that inside edge is more cambered whilst the outside edge is more rockered, the difference is only subtle but in conjunction with extra carbon reinforcement on the inside edge makes these off-piste focused all mountain skis rail incredibly well on groomers as well.

We love the Ripstick collection as capable '50/50' or even dedicated touring skis. Pair them up with a touring binding of your choice and let the lightweight & versatile Ripsticks take you deep into the mountains.
