The all-new Ripstick 102 is building a reputation as an everyday essential thanks to its ability to navigate soft and hard snow, in wide open spaces and tight situations with equal prowess. All-new Carbon Deck Technology provides a lightweight yet hyper-smooth and responsive platform built with unidirectional carbon bands and carbon rods in the core to support the intuitive maneuverability and unmatched grip of Amphibio Profile.
A new 3D shape shaves weight and is reinforced with Flax, a natural fiber that absorbs vibration for supreme stability at speed and in variable conditions. The newest footprint in the Ripstick line emerges to bring skiers that explore the entire mountain a poised and performance-driven ski that knows no boundaries and excels in every terrain and condition you 'll find at the resort and beyond.

CARBON DECK TECHNOLOGYCarbon Deck Technology combines the powerful rebound of Tubelite Woodcore, with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon (UD) edge bands. These combined technologies provide powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for superior response and a smooth ride.
Flax Fiber A layer of natural Flax Fiber is placed in the tip of the ski to neutralize vibration and chatter, providing a smooth ride at high speeds and in variable snow conditions.
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.
UD Carbon Unidirectional carbon bands are strategically positioned along both edges of the ski to create torsional stability which produces superior response and intuitive maneuverability at an extremely light weight.
Sintered Running Base The special ultra-high molecular weight running base delivers excellent durability and superb gliding performance in variety of conditions.
SST - Slanted Sidewall Technology The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.
Amphibio Technology Amphibio Tech is the complete, fulldimension asymmetrical ski design. Influencing both the profile and construction of dedicated right and left skis.
