Ripstick 96 Ski turns the whole mountain into a playground with precision, float, and smooth control
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve skied the Ripstick 96 in everything from early-morning groomers to afternoon powder, and it never feels out of place. The Amphibio profile makes edge hold super reliable, while the carbon and flax combo keeps the ride smooth even when the snow gets choppy. It’s light underfoot but powerful enough to trust when pushing harder into steeps or soft snow."
Who It’s For
Intermediate to Expert All-Mountain Skiers:
The Ripstick 96 is built for skiers who want a true one-ski quiver. Confident intermediates progressing their technique and advanced riders chasing versatility will both find a home here. It suits those who love carving groomers but also want dependable performance in soft snow, bowls, and mixed terrain.
What It’s For
All-Mountain Versatility with Freeride Performance:
From corduroy mornings to powder afternoons, the Ripstick 96 adapts to changing conditions. With its 96mm waist and Amphibio profile, this ski grips firmly on hardpack while offering nimble float and smooth transitions in softer snow. It’s a freeride-inspired tool that thrives across the mountain without feeling punishing.
Why We Like It
Stability, Agility, and Smooth Ride Combined:
We like how the Ripstick 96 delivers high-performance edge hold while staying light and approachable. The Tubelite wood core keeps swing weight low, carbon reinforcement boosts energy and precision, and flax fibers reduce chatter. It’s a ski that feels powerful yet forgiving, letting us ski longer, harder, and with more confidence.
