I would ride for them only if they let me make a pro model wich would be the same thing as the 1080 or the candide.

I hear they're just pretty crappy skis.


'Who ordered the turkey club?' the waitress yelled across the small diner.
'I did!' The man excitedly replied.
Promptly, an over-excited turkey ran out from the back and beat the man to death with a large wooden bat.

Just remember, every skier needs a different type of ski. Elan's might break if skied by a new-schooler, but the person who goes up on Saturday and hangs out on the blue groomer doesn't need anything beefy: Elan would work just fine for them. Elan does make some kick-@$$ snowboards though

I broke 6 pairs of Elan's one season.
Never again will I ride an Elan... Unless someone wants me to destroy a pair for them.

That's funny because one day when I was night skiing me and some other instructors were getting bored so we went into the rental room to get some really old Elan skis. So we were rail sliding and stuff and then we decided to have a ski breaking competition. It started of by trying to put the tips of the skis on the toop of a fence. then one guy put the ski tips two feet into the snow and when he stood on the ski they bent at 90 degrees then flung a chunk of sno into the air. So after an hour of bending these skis the only way to break them was to jump into the bindings from like eight feet away. So we took the only pair of Elan skis that we could break back to the rental shop and the guys in there were like what happened. So we just said we were skiing in the bumps and the bindings just ripped off of them.

What I don't understand is why Elan doesn't make better twins? Don't they realize that everyone hates their skis and that they are pieces of crap? It just doesn't make any sense for a company to do something like this.
