Playmaker 81 T Ls Ski w/ El 10.0 Gw Shift Binding - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve seen this ski spark confidence in young riders getting curious about freestyle. It’s twin-tipped, super easy to maneuver, and has just enough stiffness to feel stable without being overwhelming. A solid intro to the park that doesn’t sacrifice all-mountain versatility."

The Elan Playmaker 81 T LS System Ski with EL GW bindings is made for emerging skiers who are ready to bring their energy into the park while still exploring every inch of the mountain. Whether it’s laps through soft bumps, first hits on beginner park features, or just cruising groomers with friends, the Playmaker 81 T delivers a smooth, confidence-inspiring ride with a freestyle-ready twin-tip shape.

With a Jib Rocker profile and lightweight Dual Woodcore, the ski flexes naturally underfoot, helping young riders build control and timing without punishing mistakes. Fiberglass reinforcement adds the durability needed for learning tricks and carving at speed, while the Full Power Cap construction makes the ski more forgiving and easy to handle. Paired with the EL 10.0 GW binding, this setup is ready for all-day, all-terrain fun.
