“The power generated from this ski sets you up to turn heads,” raves tester Michelle Cox about the Ripstick 94W Black Edition. “It propels you quickly and pushes you into the sweet spot of the fall line. It’s playful in the bumps, and with a 94-mm waist, you can zip down any line you choose.” A Buyer’s Guide stalwart since its inception, the Ripstick 94W Black Edition shares the same chassis as the Ripstick 96 Black Edition but rocks a slightly slimmer waist for the ladies. Featuring four carbon rods—dubbed QuadRod—the Ripstick offers an ultra-smooth ride with an impeccable rebound, and the asymmetric profile is enhanced by a carbon weave along the inside edge of each ski to create an unbreakable bond throughout the entire turn. The sleek, matte topsheet with glossy tiger stripes says it all: These kitties are ready to pounce. Meow.
