2025 Elan Playmaker 101 Skis with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings - POS/Marketplace Only

Redesigned for 2025, the Elan Playmaker 101 with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings has been refined rather than completely overhauled. At 101 mm underfoot, it offers remarkable versatility for freestyle skiers who want to express their playful and creative style across the mountain. The wood core and carbon core delivers continuous pop and energy while maintaining an incredibly light weight, ensuring you can keep playing all day long. We paired the 101 with the Marker Griffon 13 ID because of the Griffon’s precision and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. With a robust construction and all the best tech, the Griffon 13 is a popular high-performance binding choice for wider-bodied skis for good reason.

Why we like it:

The Playmaker 101 stands out with its energetic and highly playful nature. This versatile all-mountain freeride ski is designed to inspire creativity while remaining lightweight and agile.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers seeking a lightweight freeride ski brimming with energy, pop, and responsiveness will find the 2025 Elan Playmaker 101 perfectly suited to their needs.

Highlights:

Featuring Elan’s Surf Rocker profile and Dual Float technology, the Playmaker 101 excels at smearing and slashing through pow. Elan’s Dual Float Technology maximizes flotation in soft snow, whether you're skiing switch or charging down the fall line. The Carbon Rods underfoot enhance stiffness and support, giving you the confidence to push your limits at speed. As we’ve come to expect from Marker, there’s no shortage of tech packed into the Griffon 13 binding. Marker’s Triple Pivot Elite Toe and Inter-pivot 3 Freeride Heel systems work in tandem to provide improved edge grip and control, as well as helping to mitigate vibrations for a smooth ride. A cleverly placed anti-ice rail sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape off those pesky clumps of snow and ice that accumulate on the sole of your boot. With Multinorm (MN) boot compatibility, the Griffon 13 is a versatile and reliable choice for a huge range of skiers and applications.

Things to consider:

The 2025 Playmaker 101 has a relatively soft flex, which may not provide the support that aggressive or heavier skiers are looking for. Lighter skiers, however, will benefit from the ski’s supple flex pattern.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Playmaker 101 skis true to size.
