Available from our demo fleet:
Ski: Atomic Maverick 88 Ti 
Binding: Atomic Warden 13 
Length: 176 cm 
Top Sheet Rating (1-5): 3

Rating System:

Along with the term "used" comes a certain amount of topsheet blemishes and the occasional scratched base. We take the time to rate the topsheet from 1-5. 1 being the ugliest and 5 being the most beautiful ski of all time.

Now we understand topsheets may be important to you, but to us, bases are what we slide on. We take the time to tune every single demo ski throughout the season. We fill with both p-tex and polyweld if necessary, add an appropriate early-season structure, bevel both the base and side edges so they're nice and crisp for firm snow (we vary bevels for different types of skis) and add a couple layers of wax to each pair.

All of our demos are meticulously taken care of and yes you may see the remains of some p-tex but every ski is in the like new condition rating.

Please call if you have any additional questions about how we take care of our demo fleets.

2022 ELAN RIPSTICK 106 BLACK EDITION SKIS

After a year's hiatus, the Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition skis have come back with a vengeance. There's a lot to like about the updates, and Elan has done a fantastic job separating further the Black Edition skis from the normal Ripstick line. We've talked and discussed in detail about how fun and playful the Ripstick skis are as a whole, and one of the best things Elan has done, is to retain that fun-loving personality, all while creating a whole different feel in a ski. Our first time out on them, we all remarked that Elan has been incredibly successful in creating a ski without metal that really feels like metal. By adding additional carbon rods to the Tubelite wood core, Elan uses that three-dimensional carbon tube technology now in the middle of the ski, in addition to the edges. This makes the middle part of the ski a lot damper and more stable when it comes to high-performance skiing. For a 106 mm underfoot ski, these things absolutely rip. Once you get them up on edge, they start to come around very nicely, providing stability and sport for the duration of the turn. Since they're asymmetrical in construction, profile, and shape, Elan has a huge advantage insofar as they're able to bolster certain parts of the skis without making them feel wonky. Skiers looking to take their freeride game to the next level will love the Elan Ripstick 106 Black Edition skis.

FLOAT AND SLASH

  AMPHIBIO CARBON LINE TECHNOLOGY 

 

CONFIDENCE BUILDING PERFORMANCE FOR ANY SITUATION ON THE MOUNTAIN.

Amphibio Carbon Line technology is a combination of innovations that provide the best balance of lightweight construction with power and performance. Amphibio Carbon Line technology elevates the asymmetrical ski design to the next level by strategically locating carbon reinforcement over the inside edges of the skis providing more power in the turn, while carbon rods inserted into the woodcore maximize weight savings and overall stability. The end result is an extremely lightweight high performance ski with uncompromised versatility and smooth performance.

AMPHIBIO PROFILE

Amphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. Amphibio skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability - while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.

SST CONSTRUCTION

The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.

TUBELITE WOODCORE

To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

CARBON RODS REINFORCEMENT

Lightweight Carbon tubes inserted into the ski and run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. The carbon tubes provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability

VAPORTIP REINFORCEMENT

Vapor inserts are advanced composites integrated into the tip and tail area of the ski‘s core. These inserts reduce weight and vibration, dramatically improving stability and ensuring a smooth ride even in the most demanding conditions.

FIBERGLASS REINFORCEMENT

Fiberglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional rigidity of the ski. The fiberglass is positioned either above or below the ski core and improves a skis structual integrity.

The Elan Ripstick Tour 104 ski is the widest offering in the Ripstick Tour line. Research and development of this ski was led by the one and only Glen Plake, who has put his signature on this ski as his first official pro model. At 104-millimeters underfoot, this freeride touring ski was meant to burn up the skin track in search of big peaks, deep snow and steep, technical terrain. With skin notches grooved into the tips and tails of tis skis and matching skins to go along with them, these skis were meant to go far in search of the ultimate run. Tipping the scales at 1540 grams at the 180-centimeter length, these skis combine lightweight touring capabilities with superior downhill performance that only a true freeski legend would endorse. Carbon Bridge technology has been added to Elans Amphibio profile to make turning, smearing, and carving effortless. Playfulness is a premium on this this ski, but it also has the chops to hold a turn on firm snow and provide responsiveness when in things tight, sketchy and spicy. The overall shape and unique build of the Elan Ripstick Tour 104 really sets this ski apart from other touring freeride skis in this category. If it's good enough for Plake, its certainly good enough for you.

JOYFUL CAT

The KORE 105 has versatility for all mountain adventures thanks to a construction that reduces weight without sacrificing performance.

Buttery light with a strong backbone, the KORE 97 W's lightweight construction means more energy for day-long mountain adventures.

While not always the most practical skis in our quivers, it's safe to say that any experienced skier longs for something they can use on those dream-worthy days fill with bottomless powder and endless smiles are endless. The K2 Mindbender 115C Alliance is a full-on powder ski designed for ladies that want waterski-like float in deep powder packaged into something light, playful, and versatile enough to handle buffed out choppy snow when conditions aren't ideal. This ski starts with a lightweight Aspen Veneer wood core which is infused by K2's Spectral Braid Technology which is a Carbon fiber weave wrapping the core, dictating the torsional stiffness throughout the ski based on the tightness of that weave. More specifically, the weave is tighter in the tip and canter of the ski which provide a lot of stability and power to those segments of the ski, while the looser weave in the tail allows for less torsional stiffness by design, allowing for easy edge release and lateral maneuverability. This design feature equates to a stable and chargy ski at high speeds or in choppy snow while still providing a lot of surfyness in deep snow. K2 also uses their Carbon Boost technology in the Mindbender Alliance 115 C which features Carbon stringers that run tip to tail giving the ski a lot of liveliness and pop for an energetic feel in deep snow. A waist width of 115 millimeters in combination with a generous tip and tail rocker profile turn these things into total surfboards when you want to get loose in the deep stuff, but a bit of camber underfoot helps give you the bite you need for those steep and tight lines in that windbuffed or crusty snow often found up in the high alpine. Ladies looking for a freeride powder ski that can handle the choppy stuff will love the blend of performance characteristics offered by the K2 Mindbender Alliance 115 C.

Features:

• Sidecut: 140/115/129 mm at 174 centimeters

The Line Pandora 104 blends powder and all-mountain freeride into a perfectly versatile ski for those who like skiing anything and everything but want proper float for when the snow gets deep. This ski suits the more adventurous skier who seeks out softer snow and ungroomed terrain but its shape and construction provide great performance all over the mountain. One of the highlights of this ski is just how light it is. Line builds this ski with their Aspenlight core and Carbon Magic Finger Filaments which provide a balance of power and lightness as well as a very energetic flex pattern. By not using heavier additives like metal laminates, this ski really stands out in its category due to its impressively light feel. The Pandora 104 features Line's capwall construction which consists of a vertical sidewall underfoot and a cap construction out in the tips and tails. This gives you solid torsional stiffness and edge grip in the center of the ski, but keeps the swingweight down at the same time by reducing the amount of material in the extremities of the ski. At 104 millimeters under the boot, this ski is certainly on the wider end of the spectrum, but it is narrow enough to provide great firm snow performance. It will float really well in deep snow, especially with its rockered and tapered tip shape, but it retains good torsional stiffness as well as a fairly long effective edge when you want to go carve some turns. Ladies with a thirst for adventure will love the balance of performance characteristics highlighted in the Line Pandora 104.

Features:

• Sidecut: 137/104/121
• Radius: 14.6 meters
• Weight: 1633 grams per ski

HEAD's pro skiers requested a freeride ski with agility, versatility and flotation. The athlete-inspired new KORE 111 is the answer.

The Stockli Edge FT is a touring ski that offers a lightweight, efficient build while maintaining stability for the descent. The Edge FT transforms and all-mountain freeride ski into the ultimate touring ski for serious skiers. Starting with the core, Stockli uses a Super Light Core which keeps the weight down, but also provides a very dynamic response from the ski. A thing glass laminate is laid over the core for some added stiffness and stability to beef the ski up a bit. Despite a simple core, you get very solid stability as well as agility from the ski on the descent, not to mention a nice light ski for the climb. Similar to the Stormrider line, the Edge FT feature's Stockli's new Freeride Tip design which improves the ski's overall ability to handle softer snow thanks to a lighter, more elongated tip shape. Tail rocker is added to the profile of the ski to allow for a smoother release when you need to really round off your turns in the steeps. Stockli designed the edge FT with what they call Vario Sidecut. All that really means is the ski's width is dependent on its length, this helps tailor the ski's performance to the specifications of a particular skier. More surface area in the longer versions is particularly beneficial for a taller and/or heavier skier due to the increased surface area. Other tasteful design features that make your life easy on a tour include a cut-out in the tail to fit a skin clip, and the newly updated topsheet design called Titec Evo. This textured topsheet deters snow from sticking to your ski helping keep any weight being added to your feet, step by step. Experienced skiers will love the versatility and lightweight construction of the Stockli Edge FT.

Features:

• Sidecut: 130/94/119 at 176 centimeters
• Radius: 18.7 meters at 176 centimeters
• Super Light Core

A ski that blends piste performance with powder prowess, the Stockli Stormrider 95 is back yet again for another season, but this time it comes with a few tweaks that make it a more effective ski overall. From a construction standpoint, not all that much has changed in terms of the way these skis are built. A light wood core along with two sheets of Titanal laid overtop provide the signature smooth feel we all know and love from Stockli. By printing the graphic right into the top sheet of metal, there is a fairly significant weight savings as a result, and needless to say, it makes the skis look pretty darn cool. Stockli redesigned the tip shape of the entire Stormrider line with the intention of providing better float and better edge hold. The new Freeride Tip design is lighter and more stable and it improves float for a more effortless experience in softer snow. Other than that, we see everything that made the Stormrider 95 such a widely loved ski prior to the new design. Tip and tail rocker provide plenty of maneuverability for all-mountain skiing, while the camber underfoot ensure that you can hold a solid edge on the firm stuff. This would be a fantastic daily driver for skiers who ski a mixed bag of terrain on a daily basis as it really does provide great versatility. While it might not have quite the float of it's wider relative, the Stormrider 102, it can certainly handle a substantial amount of soft snow, no question. Ski it all with the Stockli Stormrider 95.
