In an effort to explore all my options for a park ski this year, i saw the elan partisans' they look ok and the dimentions look acceptable, vert sidewall, (118/78/106) on the 175.
so
has anyone ridden them? i cant find any reviews. the only elan i have ridden was the triple6's a while ago, and they seemed pretty dope
thoughts?
reviews?
price?

It seems expensive.  Elan isn't really a newschool brand but they've been in the business forever.  Those are some damn skinny ass skis though.

dimensions are similar to JO pros and Troublemakers- they aren't that skinny.

Elan skis are damn good and most people have no idea. I rode the MO2 in 05/06 which looks the same diensions as the Partisan. They skied amazingly, some of the best I've been on and I've skied pretty much everything out there. Really durable too. I'd definitely buy them again if I found a deal on them.

Elan made the first few years of Armada, they now made Ninthward and they make a load of other skis and snowboards for smaller brands, so they know how to make good skis. It's a shame they don't have a better reputation.

Those are skinny as fuck.  Not saying its a bad thing at all, they probably slay park, but they are indeed skinny as fuck.  I'd buy them if you have the money, Elan makes good stuff no doubt.

Elan has made great skis for a very long time and many other skis and snowboards are made in their factories. I've only demoed some Zen's last season and they were very fun and poppy.  Now if they could only give their graphics a face lift.
