ELAN <BR /> Ibex Tactix Carbon ION 12 <BR /> Winter 2018.19

TACTICAL APROACH TO SKI TOURING. Traditional ski equipment poses many limitations for easy transportation during adventures in the mountains across snow, rocks and other mixed terrain. In order to improve the mobility and transport of skis, Elan created a foldable ski with high-end ski performance and zero limitations of movement. It easily attaches to a pack quickly and securely. To achieve this design feat, Elan took the Ibex skis, cut them in half and connected them with a revolutionary folding mechanism that is built on a fixed aluminum plate that rotates 180 degrees and dissembles a 163 cm length ski to a 90 cm length ski in less than 20 seconds for easy transport. Furthermore, the performance of the plate makes the skis easier and more reliable to ski.

Simple to carry, easy to ski. Traditional ski equipment poses many limitations for easy transportation during adventures in the mountains across snow, rocks and other mixed terrain.

‘‘Traditional skis strapped to a backpack have a tendency to snag on rocks and roots, and even the slope itself can be a hindrance. Folding skis immediately resolve all these issues. Aside from total freedom of movement, folding skis perform exceptionally well on piste. The base plate under the boot is a particularly well thought out addition and provides the right amount of torsion and stiffness. I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency, performance and safety of these skis.”
