This is the InTheSnow Elan Amphibio Black Edition 2019 Ski Review from the slopes of Galtür, Austria. The Amphibio Black Edition is a ski that is all about piste performance. Featuring Elan’s 4D technology, there is a designated left and right ski to ensure you truly get the most out of your time on the slopes.
If you’re someone that likes to really race down the slopes, preferring to put down lines on piste, the Elan Black Edition 2019 may be the ski for you. With a wood core and carbon reinforcements, you can harness a lot of power on this ski and allow yourself to let rip down the groomed runs.
Furthermore, there is carbon layering under the foot plate to provide torsional stability . This means that you can really press into the turns through the middle of the ski and gives you a great, energetic rebound out of the turn and into the next. It really does provide a lot of energy, without you feeling like you really have to work it too hard.
The 4D Amphibio Technology means that the inside edge of the ski has a cambered profile, allowing enhanced edge grip and carve, like a traditional piste ski. However, the outside edge has a rockered profile, meaning easy turn initiation to really make those turns that little bit more effortless.
The Amphibio Black Edition has got that high quality performance that you’d expect from a serious race piste ski, but is also really nice and easy to ski at lower speeds. It’s perfect for someone who might be needing a great, dependable ski for hitting the slopes at low speeds with the family, while also having the power and finesse to really perform at speed, allowing you that fantastic on piste performance as well.
