The Zest is part of Elan's W Studio series. This ski uses early rise technology for easier turn initiation, and lightweight construction to reduce swing weight and increase control. Beginners and intermediates alike will find that this ski makes for a great groomer cruising ski.
Skier Style + AbilityBeginner-Intermediate skiers looking for a lightweight, easy turning setup primarily for cruising groomers.
Shape + FlexThe Early Rise Rocker profile of this ski uses moderate rocker in the tip and tail. This shortens the effective length of the ski so that skiers can initiate and disengage from turns more easily.
Construction + CoreThe MonoBlock construction brings the laminate all the way to the edge to create a torsion box for increased rigidity and more efficient power transfer.The Zest uses a dualite woodcore composed of wood stringers and a light synthetic core for improved power transmission and easier handling.The fibreglass is positioned either above or below the ski core to enhance tortional stiffness.
