Elan pro slayers and seasoned designers stripped the versatile 999, gave it size 110 pants and hammered in a beat-the-mountain-down flex to give you the 1010 Alpine Ski. This quiver-of-one all-mountain monster stabilizes dominating turns with dual titanium layers above and below a lively laminated wood core. An obese tip and fat footprint freely plow your reckless abandon through sun baked goat paths to secret neck deep pillow lines. Hammer quick turns down constricted chutes thanks to the lightweight aluminum topsheet. Just before you hit the lift, channel pent up angst into the race-bred vertical sidewalls and use the deep sidecut to trench groomers past jean jacket gapers.
Bottom Line: Play king of the hill with Elan’s newest freeride planks.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Any advice on mounting these ski's? I've mounted the Elan Boomerangs before on the line. This caused me to wheelie when on speed. So I'm pretty anxious to know what the right mount is.

The boomerangs are a twin tip, and thusly have a softer tail to accomodate a mount farther forward than a normal all mountain ski. the reason why you are wheelying is because you are too far back on the ski. furthrmore, the narrower "powder" style tail further accentuates this action. these skis are altogether stiffer and should handle a "normal" mount as opposed to a twin tip style mount that would slide the bindings towards the nose of the ski.

Tahoe went off this weekend (sort of) and had a few feet of wet, heavy stuff to play in.
My usual all mountain planks nosedove all over the mountain, but after switching out to the 1010s, it was a completely different experience.
Kept me on top of the muck, railed out on the hardpack, and launched airs over the ugly stuff.
Great ride for mixed, potentially crappy conditions. Probably great for powder -- when we get it.
these are keepers.

These are silky, damp, quick, and stable on edge. Grip on old hardpan surface was impressive. You can haul some serious butt on these with confidence. One of the top 110/112 waisted skis I've tried the last two seasons. Me 5'11" 165 and bought the 183. 190's would be cool too. These float and kill it in the mank. (update) March 30th @ Crystal deep 18-23 with some slopes not having been skied the day before. Previous day saw 13' fresh and 5 new over the tracked lumpy previous. These floated at speed and cut through the lumpy stuff with no deflection. Stoked. Prefer these over the Katana but thats just me. Reason being these engage the beginning turn better and finish strong. Might be because of a bit less early tip rise and a touch softer flex up front than the Katana. Not a soft ski just a righteous flex. You should get em if you want a daily driver in the 108/112 waist range. Can't go wrong.
It is misleading to simply say this ski has no rocker. While it does have camper underfoot, the tips do splay apart approximately 6 inches from the point where the base turns upwards. So, they do have tip rocker. They're also an awesome ski.

sth 16s with 130 mm brakes fit like a dream.

I know this is a bit late but for anyone else putting Look/Rossi PX bindings on these there is no need to go to the 120 brake. Just mounted Look PX 15's with a 100mm brake on mine. Just bend em out a tad on each side. No problem at all with clearance because of the slanted sidewall under foot and it looks super sano. They tuck in tighter vs the 120 when up too. Cheers.

The brakes on the STH 16 aren't wide enough. They're only 100mm (this ski is 110mm at the waist). 10mm is a little much to be trying to pry the brakes to fit. If you could find some wider brakes to swap on the STH, then you'd be in business.
