These skis are for those days when faceshots are coming fast and hard at every turn. As the widest Ripstick for women, the 102 W is the ultimate ladies freeride ski to use when the snow is deep and steep. If you don't want to miss out on a waist deep day, this is the floaty ski you need. But don't worry, inbetween the best days of the season, the Ripstick 102 W will still smoothly cut through windblown, crud and cut up snow with ease. SST sidewall's provide direct power transmission and Elan's TNT technology combines a tip to tail woordcore, embedded carbon rods along the edges, and vaportip inserts in the tip and tail for ultimate performance and reduced vibration. With the Ripstick 102 W, it's always good times.
