LukeTheWaffleNot shitting on em. They're just not 'core'


Elan is as core as it gets. https://www.elanskis.com/si-si/en_GB/cat/About-Elan-9698/History-9705/ The brand was started by skiers for skiers and still has one of the most core teams in the world. Some of the best freestyle ski shapes that we love from other brands have been made by Elan (line, 4frnt etc.)

Facts, you just dont see many in the states (comparatively). Their lack of a twin tip ski makes them almost unheard of on here, but from what Ive heard, their ripstick line ... rips.

LukeTheWaffleyeah but are they like faction, armada, or on3p who does things for the ski community?

They do indeed do stuff for the industry, look at their whole initiative this year with the rentals and lessons to help get people skiing, also armada isnt necessarily a core brand anymore they are owned by amer sports look them up.

On3p

Armada is pretty mainstream. Their skis are made in the Atomic factory. Not their own factory, and not in the US.

When I got on their ripstick for the first time at the industry demo I was like I bet this ski is gonna suck, ended up being one of my favorite super light yet stable, same thing with the wingman at this years demo, oh yeah and they had glen plake at their tent too so like that was pretty sick.

Has nobody mentioned K2? For SURE the most core brand. Everybody knows them, even people that don't ski.
