Elan Magfire 82 XTI 2009 Ski review

The advanced all-mountain skier with a penchant for high speeds and sharp turns will have a field day on the Elan Magfire 82 XTI Ski. This all-mountain plank comes with Elan’s ELX12WB integrated binding, which Elan fixed to the ski with two free-gliding plates that allow better energy transmission during turns. The Magfire also features Elan’s WaveFlex technology, which gives the ski a stiff torsional flex with a softer longitudinal flex. This means you get the perfect combination of soft turning flex with the ability to control the ski on its edge. The Magfire 82’s vertical sidewalls give you direct power transmission for turning at high speeds, and the combination of hard and soft wood in the core gives the ski power and stability while maintaining a light weight. Two layers of titanium above the wood core provide quick response and progressive flex when you’re screaming down the groomers.
