The 2025/2026 Elan Playmaker 101 is a high-energy, all-mountain twin tip designed for the creative skier who views the entire mountain as a terrain park. By blending the lightweight, poppy DNA of the Ripstick series with a symmetrical freestyle shape, Elan has created a "surf-inspired" freeride tool that excels in soft snow, side hits, and technical glades. The Dual Float Technology is the standout feature for 2026; it utilizes a trapezoidal 3D shape that is thicker and more powerful underfoot for edge grip, while tapering at the tips and tails to drastically reduce swing weight. This makes the 164cm length incredibly easy to pivot, butter, and spin. Unlike many traditional freeride skis, the Playmaker uses shorter Carbon Rods embedded in the wood core that focus energy specifically in the landing and takeoff zones, providing explosive pop without making the tips feel overly stiff or "hooky" in deep snow. Technical Specifications Year: 2025/2026 Brand: Elan Model: Playmaker 101 Size: 164 cm Dimensions: 132 / 101 / 122 mm Turn Radius: 16 m Binding: None (Flat Ski) Core Material: Tubelite Woodcore (Poplar/Paulownia) Reinforcement: Carbon Rods (focused underfoot and near mount zone) Construction: 360° Sidewall (High-energy transfer and durability) Technology: Dual Float Technology (Optimized weight distribution) Rocker Profile: Surf Rocker (Rocker / Camber / Rocker) Base: Sintered High-Speed Base Performance Profile Terrain: Freeride, Freestyle, Soft-Snow All-Mountain Ability Level: Intermediate to Expert Feel: Playful, lightweight, and incredibly bouncy Highlight: The 101mm waist width provides enough flotation for powder days while remaining narrow enough to be a daily driver for skiers who prefer a "shifty" and mobile feel over a locked-in carving sensation.
