2023 Elan Ripstick Tour 94 Climbing Skins

Skinning has become all the rage over the past few years and has become one of the only growing segments in the industry. There are many different types of skins out on the market today, each with its own advantages and specific applications. But with most skins, they will need to be trimmed and cut to fit your touring ski of choice. You can choose to do this yourself, but a miscut will ruin your proper skin fit. Or, you can pay a ski shop technician additional dollars to do it for you. The folks at Elan have solved that extra step (and save you a few bucks too) with manufacturing pre-cut skins to fit all of their Ripstick Touring lines of skis. In this case the Elan Ripstick 94 Tour Climbing Skin directly matches up with the Ripstick 94 Touring ski. No worries, no hassle, just apply to the ski base and your off and skinning. Made of a Mohair mix of 70% mohair and 30% Nylon, these skins have excellent grip and glide properties for a wide range of snow and temperature ranges. And weighing in at 460 grams per pair at the 178-centimeter length, they are light and durable as well. They come in all five offered ski lengths so matching is a breeze. Pairing the Elan Ripstick 94 Tour Climbing Skin with the Elan Ripstick Tour ski is simply a match made in heaven.
