Common questions
Borderline fittersOur Find my length tool starts from your height: beginners about 15 cm under their height and intermediates about 8 cm under; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter. Example: a beginner skier 170 cm tall gets about 155 cm, so the 152. We carry 152, 160 and 168 cm.
It's for beginners and newer skiers. Elan made it for skiers just discovering skiing or stepping up to their first real pair, with a forgiving feel that helps you progress naturally.
Groomed runs, with room to explore. Elan calls it your first step to exploring the whole mountain. Its 74 mm waist is in the 66–80 mm range we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs.
It's built to be forgiving rather than an ice racer: a Dual Woodcore with fibreglass under a cap construction, and no metal layer. Elan says it gives reliable, secure edge grip with control.
About
Wingman 75 + EL 9.0 GW
The Elan Wingman 75 is a men's all-resort ski from Elan's 26/27 Wingman range for skiers just discovering skiing or stepping up to their first real pair; Elan calls it a first step to exploring the whole mountain.

Elan describes a forgiving, supportive, low-effort ride with secure edge grip. Early Rise Rocker, a moderately rockered tip, makes turns smooth and easy to start; the build is a Dual Woodcore with fibreglass under a Full Power Cap, with no metal layer. The waist is 74 mm in every length.

Questions
Asked in store, answered by our fitters
What length should I get?
Our Find my length tool starts from your height: beginners about 15 cm under their height and intermediates about 8 cm under; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter. Example: a beginner skier 170 cm tall gets about 155 cm, so the 152. We carry 152, 160 and 168 cm.
Is this ski right for my level?
It's for beginners and newer skiers. Elan made it for skiers just discovering skiing or stepping up to their first real pair, with a forgiving feel that helps you progress naturally.
Is it for groomers, all-mountain or powder?
Groomed runs, with room to explore. Elan calls it your first step to exploring the whole mountain. Its 74 mm waist is in the 66–80 mm range we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs.
Will it hold an edge on icy Ontario groomers?
It's built to be forgiving rather than an ice racer: a Dual Woodcore with fibreglass under a cap construction, and no metal layer. Elan says it gives reliable, secure edge grip with control.
Does it come with bindings?
Yes. It's sold as a set on Elan's Shift X system with an Elan EL 9.0 GW binding (DIN 2.5–9) or an EL 10.0 GW (DIN 3–10): you choose. There's no option for it on this page, so tell us which one in store, or contact us after you order.
Will my boots fit the bindings? What does GW mean?
Both the EL 9.0 GW and the EL 10.0 GW take standard alpine and GripWalk boot soles. GW means GripWalk: a rockered, rubber-treaded sole that makes walking easier.
What's its turn radius?
The turn radius grows with length: 12.4 m at 152 cm, 13.9 m at 160 and 15.4 m at 168 cm.
Is it a men's ski?
Elan makes the Wingman as its men's all-resort line; the women's line is the Wildcat. Anyone can ski it if one of our lengths (152–168 cm) fits.
Is it stiff or soft?
Forgiving. Elan describes a forgiving feel and a supportive, low-effort ride, made to build confidence.
Do you mount the bindings? Do I need to bring my boots?
Yes, 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.
