Elan Pioneer 96 vs Elan Playmaker 91
Skis comparison — 2024-2025 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Elan Playmaker 91 leans more freestyle / park. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile.
