Versatile control and smooth power define the Ripstick 88 for confident all-mountain skiing
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I skied these on firm morning groomers and into softer afternoon snow, and they felt incredibly balanced the whole time. They’re quick edge-to-edge with really solid grip, but what stood out most was how smooth they stayed in mixed conditions. They’re light enough to stay playful but still feel dependable when you pick up speed."
Who It’s For
Intermediate to Expert Skiers:
This ski is built for skiers progressing into advanced terrain as well as experienced riders who want a lighter, more agile all-mountain option. It’s a great fit for those who prioritize control and ease of use on groomers but still want the confidence to explore variable snow and occasional powder.
What It’s For
All-Mountain Skiing from Groomers to Mixed Snow:
Designed for resort skiers who move between frontside laps and softer, variable conditions, the Ripstick 88 handles everything from hardpack carving to chopped snow and light powder. Its shape and profile make it adaptable across changing conditions throughout the day.
Why We Like It
Lightweight Precision, Smooth Ride, and Reliable Grip:
The Tubelite woodcore keeps the ski light and energetic, while Carbon Deck Technology adds stability and rebound without making it overly stiff. Amphibio shaping helps the ski initiate turns easily while maintaining strong edge hold, and the addition of flax fiber smooths out vibrations for a more composed ride in mixed snow. It’s a balanced, intuitive ski that feels easy to trust.

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.
