The narrower footprint of the Elan Playmaker 91 gives this ski the versatility to leave it's mark in any conditions. The Tubelite Woodcore uses carbon rods to give this ski a smooth, poppy, and playful personality while 3D trapezoid construction provides a light and powerful feel. The 360° sidewall delivers superior edge grip and is combined with the smooth rocker profile and tip & tail shapes of Dual Float Technology for peak flotation that can still carve exceptionally.
Whether you're lapping the park and pipe with friends, dicing up hardpack between storms, or scoring freshies, this is the utility player you're looking for to make plays wherever you're finding fun on the mountain.

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 degree sidewall
360 degree 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 - TERRAINNow 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:
STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe 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.
