Features
Crafted for the dedicated skier who drops everything on a pow day for first tracks. The perfect width for floatation is matched with a lightweight Tubelight woodcore meticulously engineered with carbon and flax fiber to deliver a smooth, stable ride. As conditions shift throughout the day from freshies to chop, these skis refuse to compromise on speed no matter the depth or conditions of the snow.
Carbon Deck Technology combines the powerful rebound of Tubelite Woodcore, with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon (UD) edge bands. These combined technologies provide powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for superior response and a smooth ride.
- Flax Fiber — A layer of natural Flax Fiber is placed in the tip of the ski to neutralize vibration and chatter, providing a smooth ride at high speeds and in variable snow conditions.
- 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 — 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.
- UD Carbon — Unidirectional carbon bands are strategically positioned along both edges of the ski to create torsional stability which produces superior response and intuitive maneuverability at an extremely light weight.
- Sintered Running Base — The special ultra-high molecular weight running base delivers excellent durability and superb gliding performance in variety of conditions.
- Slanted Sidewall Technology — The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.
- Amphibio Technology — Amphibio Tech is the complete, fulldimension asymmetrical ski design. Influencing both the profile and construction of dedicated right and left skis.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Ripstick 108
Will these skis feel stable under my feet all day, or do my feet get tired?
Carbon Deck Technology, Tubelite Woodcore, carbon rods, and UD carbon create a strong, stable platform with torsional rigidity, while flax fiber in the tip reduces vibration and chatter. This lightweight, smooth-riding construction is built to stay composed as you ski through changing snow from fresh powder to chop.
How much does weight matter when I'm skiing back-to-back runs?
The published weight is 1,770 g per ski in the 182 cm length, and the Tubelite Woodcore is engineered for lightweight response and stability. Carbon tubes reduce core material while preserving torsional stability and rebound, helping keep the ski responsive through repeated laps.
Do these skis turn easily, or do they require a lot of force?
UD carbon bands along both edges create torsional stability for superior response and intuitive maneuverability at a very light weight. Slanted Sidewall Technology also provides quick, nimble, direct power transmission from the ski to the snow.
Will these skis handle the speed I want to ski at without feeling out of control?
The Ripstick 108 is built for a smooth, stable ride at high speeds, using flax fiber in the tip to neutralize vibration and chatter in variable snow. Its Carbon Deck construction adds torsional rigidity and powerful rebound for a strong platform as conditions move from fresh powder to chop.
Are these skis built for carving groomers, or can they handle powder and rough snow too?
These skis are built for powder/freeride skiing and are engineered to maintain speed as snow changes from fresh powder to chop. Their 108 mm waist and soft-snow focus suit powder and rough, variable conditions rather than a groomer-specific carving setup.
Can I use these skis for both on-piste and off-piste skiing, or are they specialized for one?
These skis are built for powder/freeride terrain and are also rated for resort use. You can use them for resort skiing and powder-focused freeride days, with a 108 mm waist and construction centered on soft, variable snow.
What happens if I ski these on a day with mixed snow conditions?
The Ripstick 108 is engineered to stay fast as conditions change from fresh powder to chop. Flax fiber in the tip reduces vibration and chatter, helping deliver a smooth ride in variable snow conditions.
