Solid, not noticeably amazing. The Elan proved to be a solid performer that carved well, but just didn't have what it takes to really be memorable for our test crew. Some testers questioned the overly sharp tune on the test model. A good skier who wants stability at speed in long turns should give this a look. Steers easily and carves into the fall line with exit energy to carry you across to the next turn.
Great edge feel.
Stay centred and it takes anything that comes along. Took it out as far as I could and it still had way more left in it. Really good glide, holds perfectly carved turns. Easy to ski and loved big, wide turns. Great ski in long-radius turns.
