2023 Elan Wingman 82 CTi Skis

There's some pretty fun stuff coming from Elan these days, and it’s nice that it’s not just limited to the amazing Ripstick line. The Wingman’s are bringing the heat as well. The Elan Wingman 82 CTI Skis are the perfect choice for front-side carving enthusiasts who are looking for a strong carver with endless possibilities. As an 82 mm underfoot ski, it’s certainly on the narrow side for all-mountain performance, but the shape and the build make it fun and exciting to take anywhere on the hill. These skis have razor-sharp precision in the turn, and with a 14.3-meter turn radius at the 172 cm length, these skis are built to turn. They’re pretty shapely, but also have a bit of taper to help them engage and release easily and quickly from turns. From groomers and steeps to bumps and trees, the Wingman 82 is a fantastic ski for the front side of the mountain. Featuring TruLine Technology, the skis put the maximum amount of materials over the inside edge, and this delivers crisp and secure performance in all turns. The outside edge is lighter and more maneuverable, and this helps with accurate tracking and uphill-footed control. The sandwich sidewall construction is perfect for this type of ski, where edge grip and solid control are of the utmost importance. Having those carbon rods in the core is no joke, either, as they keep the ski stiff and responsive without being too heavy. Advanced and expert-level skiers will glean the best performance out of these skis, and you will be greatly rewarded if you’re skilled enough to keep these things on edge, because they really come alive when skied properly.
