Elan Bliss (2013/2014) Review
October 1, 2013
74 The Good
- Effortless to power through the turns
- You don’t need ski racer quads to flex the ski
- Lightweight enough to use as a backcountry touring setup
The Bad
- A tad light and soft for high-speed skiing
If you’re looking for a burly, high-speed racer, this probably isn’t your ski of choice. But if you’re looking for a friendly, do-everything ride that you can take you into the backcountry or anywhere in the resort—a ski that will make you feel like a better skier in deep snow and crud—then you’ve found it.
This ski was easily adaptable. Take it on hardpack and it’ll carve a turn, throw it into the steeps and watch it truly shine. The fat, shovel-like rockered tip plowed through crud with ease, making it a real powder skier’s tool. A great choice for advanced to expert women who want an all-mountain ski for out West.
Float
The Bliss is exactly that in powder, thanks to its rockered tip and slightly turned-up tail.
Versatility
Cruise the entire mountain like a champ and venture inbounds and out-of-bounds on one do-everything-well ski.
Length
It comes in lengths of 155, 165, and 175 centimeters. The dimensions of the ski—width, sidecut—vary slightly with each length, so the longest ski is also the fattest.
