Our absolute favourite ski from last year, Elan’s Amphibio tech remains one of the wonders of modern ski tech. Different toe edges on inside and outside of the ski provide a nice, long edge on the grip side, but shorter and more manoeuvrable on the inside to release back the other way. carbon stringers provide a smooth ride that helps flatter tired skiers or flawed technique, and allows good skiers to keep the pedal to the floor in all conditions.
