2025 Elan Playmaker 101 Skis

Redesigned for 2025, the Elan Playmaker 101 gets more of a refinement than a full overhaul. At 101 mm underfoot, this ski is an incredibly versatile pick for freestyle skiers that want to take their playful and creative style anywhere on the mountain. With Elan’s Surf Rocker profile combined with Dual Float technology, the Playmaker 101 loves to smear and slash through soft snow. The Tubelite Woodcore and Carbon Rods underfoot provide pop and energy all day light while staying unbelievably light weight so you can play all day without skipping a beat.

Why we like it:

Energetic and supremely playful, the Playmaker 101 is a versatile all-mountain freeride ski that begs for creativeness with a lightweight chassis.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert level skiers who are looking for a lightweight freeride ski that is full of energy, pop, and reactiveness will be asking nothing more of the 2025 Elan Playmaker 101.

Highlights:

Elan’s Dual Float Technology results in maximum floatation in soft snow whether you are skiing switch or charging down the fall line. Carbon Rods underfoot bolster stiffness and support to give you the confidence to go as big and as fast as you can.

Things to consider:

The 2025 Playmaker 101 is fairly soft in flex, so aggressive, heavier, skiers may find them to not be as supportive as other skis in this category. Lighter skiers tend to benefit more from this ski’s supple flex pattern.
