Women’s skis ELAN ELEMENT 78 W with bindings EL 9.0 GW SHIFT 25/26

Stable and forgiving women’s skis for confident progression

Women’s skis ELAN Element 78 W 25/26 are designed for recreational and intermediate skiers who want to improve their technique, gain more confidence, and enjoy smooth transitions between turns. They combine light, predictable handling, a stable feel, and reliable edge grip.

The advanced WaveMotion technology uses a three-dimensional wavy construction that allows easier longitudinal bending of the ski while maintaining the necessary torsional stability. The result is simpler carving turns, better control, and more comfortable skiing with less effort.

The EST – Extended Sidewall Technology construction improves energy transfer to the edges and provides reliable grip on firmer snow. The skis are therefore forgiving enough for skiers who are still refining their technique, while also offering stability for more confident skiing at moderate speeds.

A width of 75 to 78 mm under the boot provides a good balance between agility on groomed slopes and stability in variable snow conditions. The Early Rise Rocker profile with a slightly lifted tip enables an easier start to the turn and smoother transition between edges.

The Mono Woodcore wooden core, reinforced with glass fibers, and the balanced women’s model create skis that are comfortable, predictable, and suitable for all-day use. If you’re looking for women’s Elan skis with bindings that will help you improve carving technique and confidence, the Element 78 W is an excellent choice.

Skis with bindings

SKIS COME WITH ELAN EL 9.0 GW SHIFT BINDINGS at the DIN range 2.5–9.

The bindings EL 9.0 GW Shift are lightweight, user-friendly, and suitable for recreational and intermediate skiers. The GW designation means compatibility with ski boots that have GripWalk soles.

The Shift X system provides a balanced connection between ski and binding, efficient energy transfer, and adaptability to different boot sole lengths.

Technologies

WaveMotion Technology

A three-dimensional wavy construction enables easier longitudinal bending of the ski while maintaining torsional stability. This helps the skier start the turn more easily and provides better grip and control throughout the turn.

EST – Extended Sidewall Technology

The extended sidewall improves energy transfer from the boot to the edges. The result is more stable handling, reliable grip, and greater confidence on firmer surfaces.

Early Rise Rocker

The slightly raised tip allows an easier start to the turn and reduces the likelihood of edge catching. The profile contributes to smooth skiing and easier transitions from one edge to another.

Mono Woodcore

The wooden core Mono Woodcore provides a pleasant, natural, and balanced feel. It maintains low ski weight while offering enough stability to advance skiing technique.

Fibreglass

Glass fiber reinforcement improves structural rigidity and torsional stability without making the skis overly stiff or physically demanding.

Extruded Base

The extruded base is durable, easy to maintain, and suitable for regular recreational skiing.

Shift X

The Shift X system provides a good balance between ski and binding, efficient energy transfer, and adaptability of bindings to different boot lengths.
