Features
As the widest women's ski in the history of the Ripstick series, this ski is made for the lady shredder who prioritizes her week around the powder forecast and gets after it when a storm rolls through. The perfect width to float in deep pow, but still stable enough when the powder apron gets chopped up at the end of the day. With just the right amount of carbon and lightweight Tubelite woodcore, these skis refuse to compromise on speed no matter the depth or conditions of the snow. Finished off with Flax Fiber tips, the Ripstick 106 delivers a seamless, lightweight and smooth ride for all your pow day dreams.
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 W Ripstick 106
Will these skis feel stable under my feet all day, or do my feet get tired?
Carbon Deck Technology creates a strong, stable platform with torsional rigidity, while Flax Fiber in the tips helps neutralize vibration and chatter. You get a smoother, more stable ride at speed and when powder becomes chopped up or variable.
How much does weight matter when I'm skiing back-to-back runs?
The W Ripstick 106 uses a lightweight Tubelite Woodcore with carbon tubes and is built for lightweight response and stability. You get a ski designed to retain responsive, stable performance through repeated powder-focused runs.
Do these skis turn easily, or do they require a lot of force?
UD Carbon edge bands create torsional stability for superior response and intuitive maneuverability, and the 168cm ski has a 17.8m sidecut radius. You get a responsive, nimble feel rather than a ski built around excessive input.
Will these skis handle the speed I want to ski at without feeling out of control?
Carbon Deck Technology provides powerful rebound, torsional rigidity, and a strong, stable platform, while Flax Fiber helps reduce chatter at high speeds. You get stable, smooth performance when skiing fast in deep or variable snow.
Can I use these skis for both on-piste and off-piste skiing, or are they specialized for one?
The W Ripstick 106 is built for powder/freeride skiing and is also marked for resort use. You can use it for resort skiing and powder-focused freeride days, with its 106mm waist aimed at floating in deep snow.
What happens if I ski these on a day with mixed snow conditions?
Flax Fiber in the tips neutralizes vibration and chatter in variable snow, and the ski remains stable when powder gets chopped up. You get a smooth, responsive ride across changing powder conditions, including tracked-out snow later in the day.
