Good times is what Elan is all about, and the best times are those spent with friends and family in the mountains. Whether it’s a family weekend road trip to your favorite local destination or a backcountry adventure with your best buddies, it’s always good times when you surround yourself with the ones you’re closest to.
In 1945 a young Slovenian name Rudi Finžgar had a vision to build the best skis in the world for friends and families to enjoy the skiing lifestyle and create lasting memories in the mountains. That vision became a reality and for 75 years Elan has continued to push the boundaries of innovation - allowing all skiers to have the best time possible on the mountain. From pioneering parabolic shapes, to state-of-the-art Amphibio technology, Elan has shaped the skiing landscape and continues to be a leader in modern ski design. Skiing has changed over time, but through the years the one thing that remains constant is that a great day on the hill is defined by good times with friends and family. Elan has stayed true to this philosophy and continues to innovate and handcraft skis in the heart of the Alps. From Stenmark to Plake, and friends to families, Elan believes there is a skier inside everyone and where there are skiers there are Always Good Times.
At Elan, 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, State-of-the-art products for friends and family to enjoy great days on the mountain. It is with this uncommon valor that we have committed our brand to this one goal, and to deliver on our promise to make everyday the best day on snow for Elan skiers.
