Elan Rip Stick 96 or 106

[E_Z_STEEZ]

I'm getting a pair of Rip sticks the 20-21 Ski. I mainly ski in Michigan but on park skis these are gonna be an all mountain ripper. I go out west a couple of times and up to Mt Bohemia. I'm thinking the 96 but will this be enough for most days out west? I also have bent chetler 120s for the deepest days. My other daily is a volkl bash 89.

Neither. You wont like them. Get a 95-110 mm partial twin all mtn ski. Moment pb and j. J skis all play. Volkl revolt 104. Armada arv 106 k2 reckoner 102. Neither of those skis have nearly any tail rocker and flat tails. Very unlike both skis you have.

He never said anything about wanting his new skis to feel like his current ones. In fact, he said he was getting Ripsticks, not considering Ripsticks, implying that he already knows that he wants a version from the Ripstick line.

As for advice, I would size up in width, but I'm a fat ski kinda guy, so you might not be the same.

If you've got bentchetlers go the 96 if your stuck on ripsticks, if not i suggest the nordica enforcer 100

I really want to try the carbon tubes lighter weight than a titanol ski and some amphibo technology I think they'll be a real fun ski. Glenn Plake loves them he swears by the 106 but skis deeper snow than me on most days I also have a 92 Super natural. I'm think the 106 might be the move.

I'd personally go with the 106 because I prefer a looser ski that takes effort to lock in over a locked in ski that takes effort to release. I've never been on a rip stick but that's my take on skinnyish vs wideish skis
