Brand:Elan

Code:AEALZT25

Pre Season Ski Discount

The Elan Playmaker 111 is an athlete-inspired freeride twin built to satisfy skiers who surf and slash their way through the deepest snow and most challenging lines. The rocker profile of Dual Float Tech provides superior flotation while the innovative 3D Trapezoid shape gives skiers a strong, stable platform underfoot for supreme confidence.

Under the hood, you'll find Elan's Tubelite Woodcore, reinforced with Carbon Rods which produce a super smooth ride with explosive pop and rebound and the 111 mm chassis gets reliable edge grip from a 360° sidewall design. From first chair on a storm day to booters and tree taps beyond the resort boundaries, Playmaker 111 is a cheat code for the deepest days.

DUAL FLOAT TECHNOLOGY
Dual Float Technology belnds 3D trapezoid construction which provides a stable and powerful platform under foot, while the razor thin profile in the tip and tail reduces weight and maximizes float, in either direction.

Surf Rocker
Surf Rocker is the collab of perfectly shaped tips and tails with smooth rocker profiles that deliver a buttery and surfy feel in any situation.

360° sidewall
360° sidewall is a unique and effective sidewall solution to maximize performance while keeping the weight low. Pyramidal shaped sidewalls are positioned throught the whole body of the ski, to increase vibration absorption and high speed stability.

Tubelite Woodcore
To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

Carbon Rods
Lightweight Carbon tubes inserted into the ski and run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. The carbon tubes provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.

Ski Buyers Guide

Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:

STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer

Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

  • NOVICE (Level 1 to 4)
  • INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
  • ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
  • EXPERT (Level 8-9)
  • PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)

STEP 2 - TERRAIN
Now you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
  • - Groomed Piste Runs
  • - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
  • - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
  • - Off-piste skiing (powder)
  • - Ski touring

STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:

Ski Length Chart


STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVEL

The final calculation- For NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for EXPERT and PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
