What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Elan Ripstick 88
Elan’s narrower Ripstick. Used 88s get mixed with Ripstick 96 searches — they are not the same ski. Women’s 88 and Tour 88 listings are different buys; inspect edges from on-piste days rather than paying a wider-Ripstick price.
