100% PLUS true ! Thank You !!!! This wide ski insanity IS just that. It has destroyed the ability to make real carving a function when skiing. It also requires greater force/effort to roll over and turn. Today, skiers with wide skis just slush around on the slopes. I ski in "the West" and I would never exceed 82'ish. One does NOT need wide skis for powder. And you're skiing on hardpack 95% plus of the time anyway.
I've never heard of anyone snubbing Elan like the guy in the video says. First of all, they're the ones who invented parabolic skis. They make some of the best skis out there. Plus, Glen Plake promotes and designs for them. End of story.
Now I'm retired all-being-well I'm going back to skiing next season [2024], and with luck after 3 or 4 week long holidays I'll be able to ski improving intermediately. For the 2025 season I'll be buying my first set of ski's to progress with, and Elan will probably be on my short list.
The Wingman replaces the Amphibio of which I owned many pairs. They were and are great skis. The Wingman is my new ride. I think I will enjoy them. Great review and a great ski tester. The real deal.
Hello I loved your review of the Elan 82 CTI and you are super right!!! People are snobby!!!!! May I kindly ask you if you sell them and ship to Italy? Thank you!!
Hi there, I'm an intermediate skier and I'm looking for a ski for all conditions on piste. Would you rather recommend the Elan Wingman 82Ti with a length of 1.72m or 1.78m ? I am 1.81m tall and weigh 74kg. Greetings Torsten
