The read

The Ripstick 100 W is a women's all-mountain freeride ski built for skiers who want one ski for groomers, trees, and occasional powder. Its Amphibio asymmetric profile pairs camber on the inside edge for grip with rocker on the outside edge for easy initiation, and carbon-and-flax construction makes it notably lighter than most freeride skis in the catalog. A medium turn radius and versatile waist suit skiers who want agility and float without a heavy, demanding platform underfoot.

Specs & what they mean

What the Ripstick 100 W's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.8-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a tubelite woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,535 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width

At 100 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. An asymmetric rocker profile tunes float and grip differently at tip and tail.
