The Elan Element 74 W RS is a women’s piste ski in the comfort category, designed for groomed slopes where you want a smooth, stable ride without chasing podium-level performance. It’s built to help you enjoy short to medium-radius turns on packed snow, making each run feel controlled and predictable.
This ski has a 74 mm waist that balances agility with edge hold, and its 122/74/103 mm tip–waist–tail profile gives extra stability at the tip and tail while keeping the ski lively underfoot. Weighing in at 2 380 g per ski (160 cm), it offers a reassuring feel at higher speeds without becoming cumbersome. The package includes an Elan EL 9.0 GW Shift binding, which is compatible with GripWalk soles for easy step-in and a reliable connection to your boot.
In ski terminology, the 13.9 m radius describes the arc the ski naturally follows when laid on edge: a moderate radius that makes carving medium turns straightforward without the ski feeling twitchy.
