Best praise vs top criticism for Elan Ripstick 106
Best Praise
+17 pts“Last time I skied in Europe, it was on the Swiss/Austrian border. I rented a pair of Elan Ripstick 106's without a problem. Bonus, they were brand new. I was there in mid-January and nobody had rented them yet.”

+3 pts“Austria is the Blizzard factory. People hack on BC for not building their own skis but in almost 10 years of selling/skiing their stuff I've never had a warranty claim, ever, the Atris is one of our best selling skis. Not sure if they're paying the guys at the various factories more during their production run but the Blizzard/Elan/Nordica skis fit and finish is way below the BC stuff speaking as a shop owner/tech.”
