What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 16.8 m
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 14.5 m
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 11.9 m
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 98%, Holds well
  • Float: 57%, Some float
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 175 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

By ability

The Elan Ripstick 94 W Black Edition at 175 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.

Edge hold

On firm snow, 175 cm
  • First-timer: slides (18%)
  • Beginner: slides (40%)
  • Intermediate: on the limit (69%), assumed level
  • Advanced: holds well (93%)
  • Expert: holds well (98%)
assumed intermediate: on the limit (69%)

Float

In soft snow
  • First-timer: sinks (44%)
  • Beginner: some float (46%)
  • Intermediate: some float (49%), assumed level
  • Advanced: some float (53%)
  • Expert: some float (57%)
assumed intermediate: some float (49%)

Ease

How forgiving it is
  • First-timer: hard (0%)
  • Beginner: manageable (65%)
  • Intermediate: easy (100%), assumed level
  • Advanced: easy (100%)
  • Expert: easy (90%)
assumed intermediate: easy (100%)

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

    What reviewers say

    • 2024 ELAN RIPSTICK 94 W BLACK EDITION SKI REVIEW

      Matt McGinnis · 6 Feb 2023

      Elan upgrades their women's all-mountain model with QuadRod carbon reinforcement, delivering dampness and power comparable to metal-laminate skis while staying exceptionally light. The ski combines damp high-speed stability and potent edge bite with quick turn transitions and pop off features. It offers aggressive, advanced female skiers a balanced mix of precision, playfulness, and confidence in diverse conditions.

      “Achieving an ideal blend of stiffness and strength while keeping weight to a minimum” (Matt McGinnis)

      Reviewer (advanced): The ski combines damp high-speed stability and potent edge bite with quick turn transitions and pop off features. For an intermediate skier: on the limit (69%); the ski's full grip is 98%; at 35° edge this level reaches 88% of the angle it needs, and about 80% of body weight gets onto the edge
