Playmaker 111 Ski - 2025

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Playmaker 111 is the ski I grab on storm days or when I want to surf natural features. It’s playful without feeling loose, and super maneuverable in tight trees or deep zones. The Surf Rocker makes it easy to pivot and press, and I love that it still holds up if I want to carve a line down something steep."

We ride the Elan Playmaker 111 Ski when the snow stacks high and the terrain calls for style-driven descents. As Elan’s widest twin tip, the Playmaker 111 takes the playful, buttery character of the narrower Playmaker models and cranks up the float for deeper, softer days. With its surfy rocker profile, lightweight construction, and balanced flex, this ski is built for skiers who view powder as a playground.

The Tubelite wood core is reinforced with carbon rods to keep the ski light and reactive, while Dual Float Technology boosts surface area in the tips and tails for easier transitions and smoother float in bottomless snow. A 360° sidewall enhances edge grip and impact resistance, and the sintered base keeps the glide high—even on flatter exits or tracked-out runs. Whether we're spinning through natural hits, surfing trees, or dropping pillows, the Playmaker 111 responds with energy, creativity, and smooth control. It’s our go-to for freestyle-inspired freeride sessions in soft snow.
