Just wanted to do a bit of a "review" or maybe just a little heads up on some skis that are super sick and very unknown. Definitely check these out if you are looking into some new sticks. Elan is pretty big in all other aspects of skiing, and their factory in slovenia is huge, so they are by no means newcomers to the industry. They make other brands there (including 4frnt http://www.4frnt.com/index.php/lang-en/about-4frnt ) as well. I recently got 2 pairs of the Elan Partisan (their main park ski) and was pleasantly surprised to find that its a really good ski. Medium flex, pretty carvy and poppy (awesome for pipe) and SUPER stable. Not to mention that the Partisan has a bottly opener in the tail (see link), which is pretty sick. So if you are looking into some new skis, consider the Elan Partisan and be the first one at your hill to rock 'em. heres a link to the partisan...check em out.
