Playmaker 101 Ski powers powder laps and park play with freestyle energy and all-mountain control
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."
Who It’s For
Freestyle-Oriented All-Mountain Skiers:
The Playmaker 101 is for riders who blend freeride lines with freestyle creativity. It’s ideal for skiers who like to bounce between natural features, powder stashes, and the park, without feeling tied to one style. Intermediate through expert skiers will find the ski approachable yet powerful enough to handle progression.
What It’s For
Powder, Park, and Creative All-Mountain Skiing:
Built for skiers who see the mountain as a playground, the Playmaker 101 thrives in soft snow, side hits, bumps, and terrain parks. Its twin-tip shape, Surf Rocker, and 101mm waist let it pivot easily in powder while staying agile on groomers and firm snow.
Why We Like It
Playfulness Meets Versatility:
We like how the Playmaker 101 combines float, energy, and control in one package. The Dual Float construction lightens swing weight while adding stability underfoot, and the Tubelite wood core with carbon rods keeps things snappy. Whether spinning off natural hits or carving pow turns, it’s a ski that makes the mountain more fun.

Always Good Times
Elan is located in the Slovenian Alps, with almost 80 years of experience building the best skis in the world for friends and families who are all about good times in the mountains.
Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
