Common questions
Borderline fittersOur Find my length tool starts from your height: advanced skiers about 3 cm under their height; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter. Example: an advanced skier 160 cm tall gets about 157 cm, so the 154. We carry 147 and 154 cm.
It's for advanced skiers: Elan designed it for advanced women skiers who value light weight and confident turn initiation.
The resort, groomers first. Elan tunes it for lively control and easy flow across the resort, nimble on groomers yet stable beyond them. Its 80 mm waist at 147 cm is in the 66–80 mm range we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs; the 154 is 81 mm.
Elan promises responsive edge-to-edge transitions on groomers. It has a Dual Woodcore with carbon rods, SST sidewalls for direct power to the edge, and no metal layer, so it stays light.

About
Ripstick 84 W
The Elan Ripstick 84 W is the narrowest women's ski in Elan's 26/27 Ripstick collection, sold flat (without bindings). Elan sets it up for lively control and easy, flowing skiing around the resort, nimble on groomers yet stable beyond them, and aims it at advanced women skiers who value light weight and confident turn initiation.
It shares the Ripstick 84's build: Early Rise Rocker, a Dual Woodcore that gives responsive flex at edge changes, carbon rods and Slanted Sidewall Technology. On Elan's women's (W Studio) Ripsticks the mounting point sits a centimetre further forward for balance, and the profile is designed to flex consistently whatever the size.
Key features
- Early Rise Rocker — a moderate rocker in the tip, so turns start smoothly
- Dual Woodcore — Elan says it energises edge transitions with a responsive flex
- Carbon rods — Elan's CarbonDeck reinforcement for this ski
- W Studio mounting point — 1 cm further forward than the men's Ripstick, for balance

Questions
Asked in store, answered by our fitters
What length should I get?
Our Find my length tool starts from your height: advanced skiers about 3 cm under their height; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter. Example: an advanced skier 160 cm tall gets about 157 cm, so the 154. We carry 147 and 154 cm.
Is this ski right for my level?
It's for advanced skiers: Elan designed it for advanced women skiers who value light weight and confident turn initiation.
Is it for groomers, all-mountain or powder?
The resort, groomers first. Elan tunes it for lively control and easy flow across the resort, nimble on groomers yet stable beyond them. Its 80 mm waist at 147 cm is in the 66–80 mm range we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs; the 154 is 81 mm.
Will it hold an edge on icy Ontario groomers?
Elan promises responsive edge-to-edge transitions on groomers. It has a Dual Woodcore with carbon rods, SST sidewalls for direct power to the edge, and no metal layer, so it stays light.
Does it come with bindings?
No, it's sold flat (ski only), so you choose the binding. Pick one whose brake is at least as wide as the 81 mm waist.
Will my boots fit? What does GW mean?
That depends on the binding you add. For GripWalk boots, choose a binding marked GW (GripWalk-compatible); standard alpine boots fit any alpine binding.
What's its turn radius?
The turn radius is 11.4 m at 147 cm and 12.4 m at 154 cm.
Is it a women's ski? How is the W different?
Yes. Elan makes the Ripstick 84 W as the women's (W Studio) version of the Ripstick 84: same shape and radius in the lengths both come in, with the mounting point a centimetre further forward for balance. Anyone can ski it if the length fits; we carry 147 and 154 cm.
Is it stiff or soft?
Soft. Elan doesn't publish a flex rating; this is from independent reviews and ratings.
Can you mount bindings on them? Do I need my boots?
Yes, when you buy bindings with them: mounting is then free and the same day at Richmond Hill and Ottawa. We set the bindings to your boots, so bring yours or buy boots with the skis; you check and sign off on the setup in store. Skis we ship go out unmounted.
Does it have rocker or camber?
It has Elan's Early Rise Rocker: a gently raised tip that Elan says makes turns smooth and effortless.
What warranty does it have?
Elan gives a 2-year warranty on this ski. If something goes wrong, contact us with your order details.
