Good times is what Elan is all about, and the best times are those spent with friends and family in the mountains.

THE SPORT OF SKIING IS A PARADOX.
It’s an individual sport that is only truly great when done in groups.

Share memories, create bonds, enjoy the
always good times with Elan song.

Skiing is an experience, that creates unforgettable memories and bonds. It is similar to music. Songs are most of the time connected with special occasions and events and therefore recall emotions when hearing them again. The good times skiers are always up for an adventure or new experience in any condition enjoying being around each other. Music is a part of the experience and Elan was inspired by a new song as it represents what they love the most. Elan brand stories will be supported by the rhythm of the Always Good Times song, available on Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube.

How do you measure a perfect skiing day? Great snow conditions and sunny weather are a good start, but the real beauty is found in the emotions and feelings when we can laugh, smile, and throw high fives after a great day - whether carving the perfect turn on groomers, ripping bottomless powder, or just casually cruising down the mountain. Add great friends or family to these situations, and you have something completely different. You have an experience. You have an adventure. You have stories you can tell for years to come. You’ve created great memories, together. A great day of skiing is different for everyone, but they all have one thing in common - good times. At Elan, we want our skiers to have the best time possible on the mountain and share that experience with the people closest to them. Having a good time with friends, family, kids, parents, partners, brothers, sisters or cousins - that’s what skiing is all about.

Skiing creates memories and memories create bonds. And that is why Elan is all about good times.

HERITAGE & INNOVATION

We’ve been innovating for decades for one simple purpose – to make the skiing experience better for everyone, from beginner to expert. Decades of constantly pushing the design envelope – from sidecuts to constructions, materials to production processes – we challenge ourselves to design the best performance, highest quality and state of the art products. IIt is with this uncommon valor that we have committed our brand to this one goal, and to deliver on our promise to make every day the best day on snow for Elan skiers.

Innovation is a key element of Elan’s organizational culture, integrated into every stage of development and all areas of activity.

  1. Screen printing

    Elan was the first ski manufacturer to use screen printing technology to decorate the top sheets of skis.

  2. Elan Clac GS 740

    The first skis in the world equipped with the "CLAC" magnet system, designed to make carrying skis easier.

  3. Uniline skis

    The revolutionary Uniline skis which featured extreme sidecut for the time which it was introduced. This model was prized by racers.

  4. MBX skis

    The first cap construction ski on the market.

  5. SCX skis

    The SCX skis opened the door to a completely new way of skiing, a technique now known as carving.

  6. Waveflex technology™

    A technology that provides high torsional stiffness and simultaneously improves the skis’ ability to flex and carve.

  7. Amphibio technology

    Amphibio Truline elevates the asymmetrical ski design to the next dimension by strategically locating materials within the ski. Structural material is placed over the full length of the inside ski edge, providing more stability and power - while less material is applied over the outside edge, resulting in a smooth, easy, and perfect turn.

  8. U-Flex for kids

    U-Flex technology is a unique construction and profile that allows a junior ski to be 25% more flexible. This unique and patented technology enables easy learning and provides greater performance for initial on-snow experience.

  9. Ibex Tactix

    The first folding touring ski. The Ibex Tactix is an innovative approach to equipment built to move easily, deploy tactically, and perform under pressure in unique, adventurous situations.

  10. Voyager

    The Elan Voyager is the world’s first high performance, folding, all-mountain ski. On one side, it’s very convenient to carry as it folds under 1m. On the other side, the Voyager happily tackles anything a demanding skier can wish from a ski, without compromising performance.

100 % HANDCRAFTED IN THE SLOVENIAN ALPS

Each and every Elan ski bears the inscription "Handcrafted in the Slovenian Alps". It’s a symbol of pride and these words say it all. Mountains are a permanent source of inspiration for all skiers. Begunje na Gorenjskem is a small town, but only in terms of physical size and population. In the ski world however, Begunje is a capital city, a metropolis of ski innovation. The inventions developed here, and launched to improve the skiing experience, are too numerous to count. Each time a breakthrough product is presented, people have said “This is it! It can’t get any better than this.” And each time the engineers at Elan develop something new, better, and even more efficient.

Elan Team

At Elan, we don’t just build skis, we build better skis, and dedication to handcrafting skis is not just a statement, it’s a promise. Earning praise year after year, Elan skis are not only validated by test results and design awards.

They are also approved by top-level athletes, as well as thousands of skiers around the world, who trust Elan to provide equipment that produces exceptional experiences in the mountains, again and again.
