Elan 888 Alu Ski
One word: FUN
By Wally Phillips
September 16, 2008
I hadn't been on a pair of Elan skis in a while. I tried these out about a year ago at the 186cm length and I was almost shocked at how easy they are to ski in most conditions. I tried them in everything from heavy crud to 12 inches of POW to high speed groomers and it excelled in most conditions. The good parts that stuck out were that it had much better float than expected and can handle fast turns really nicely. On the down side it can get choppy in the REALLY heavy crud and the heaviest or most powerful of skiers will overpower it on high speed groomers. If you are looking for a ski that can go between the East and West Coast easily, look here.
