Elan Gypsy vs Elan Keeper
Skis comparison — 2015-2016 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both target powder terrain, while the Elan Keeper leans more freeride. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Elan Gypsy has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Elan Keeper uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). At $99.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Elan Keeper is the more budget-friendly option.
