Playmaker 101 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Playmaker 101 is my pick when I want to ski fast, float deep, and still hit side hits with confidence. It’s light and playful, but there’s real backbone underfoot thanks to the carbon tubes and Dual Float design. Whether I’m ripping pow lines or lapping the park, this ski handles it all without ever feeling out of place."

From powder stashes to natural features, the Elan Playmaker 101 Ski lets us blur the lines between freeride and freestyle. Elan packed this all-mountain twin with the versatility we need to float, carve, and spin across the whole resort. Whether we’re slashing through trees, stomping landings, or threading bumps, the Playmaker 101 balances stability and agility to keep things fun and fast.

Built on Elan’s Dual Float Technology, the ski combines a lightweight 3D Trapezoid construction underfoot with thin, floaty tips and tails for easy pivoting and bidirectional riding. A Tubelite Wood Core with carbon rods keeps things snappy and energetic, while the 360-degree sidewall ensures responsive edge control. Surf Rocker in the tip and tail rounds out the playful ride, making this the ski we grab when we want to spin, slash, and smear our way from pow laps to park hits.
