The Elan Ripstick 102 Black Edition Skis are a new width for the hard charger all-mountain set, with more carbon and more guts, just like you like it. With a stiffer flex and twice as many Carbon Rods planted in the core, the 102 Black Edition feels stronger and more lively underfoot and stays planted through tough conditions with confidence. If you think the regular Ripstick 102 is too mellow for your tastes, the new Black Edition is like throwing a few habañeros on your burger; the extra heat is palpable.
