When new skis come out, usually they are pretty similar to their predecessor, or very similar to an offering from another manufacturer. Well, Elan's Amphibio 82 XTi is actually new and different, a legitimate technological improvement from what else is out there. The Amphibio concept is to leave the inner edge of each ski with a traditional, flat camber. That gives the ski a long effective edge on the inside edge of the ski, and of course the inside ski will be the one carving). The outside edge of each ski rockered in both the tip and the tail, so it is easier to initiate turns, easier to release from turns, and there is less outside edge for you to catch an edge on. The Amphibio XTi's, are stiff, fast, extremely versatile, and surprisingly accessible for such a technologically packed ski. At 82mm underfoot, this ski will be a great everyday resort ski; totally content with carving hardpack all day if that what there is, but floaty enough for some powder, sturdy enough for some crud and nimble enough for some bumps. Take a look at the tech details lower down on the page, this ski has a bunch of new technologies that we don't have room for in this blurb!

Free L9 Poles: A little love from L9 to you in the form of a free composite Levelninesports.com ski pole. A comparable pole retails for $60 and we sell these for $24 normally. This free pole is for a few select skis as a little sweetener on the already lowest price.

ELX 12.0 Fusion Bindings Included

The Fusion binding system is a fully adjustable track-style binding. In addition the adjustability, since the Fusion bindings are not drilled into the core of the ski (they rest on a track that is integrated into the ski), there are no holes and screws to alter the natural flex of the wood core.

DIN: 3.5-12

Full Diagonal Toe

ABS - Anti Blocking System: A rollable toe pad enabling no friction release for perfect release regardless of boot wear, icing up or dirt.

Elan's Amphibio Rocker is a groundbreaking design, wherein the edge of the downhill ski (or inside ski) has a stable flat camber, great for holding edges on hardpack; and the edge of the uphill ski is rockered in both the tip and tail, giving it a more surfy, easy and playful feel. The purpose of this technology is to give you a ski that is extremely fast and stable on hardpack without being painfully difficult to maneuver, as well as giving the outside edges a nice surfy feel when making turns in soft snow.

Ideal Target Skier: Weekend Warrior/Charger: These skiers were once upon a time ski bums, or very proficient skiers in college, then landed an internship that led to a 70 hour work week and a spouse and 2.5 kids. They are still great skiers, and ski hard every chance they get on steeps, moguls, powder... whatever they can get their hands on.

Waveflex Technology: Elan's Waveflex is literally waves bored out of the core of the ski, you can see and feel the topsheet has a wave-like texture. The purpose of these waves is to provide a harmonious flex pattern throughout the ski, and lightens up the overall weight of the ski without giving up torsional rigidity.


RST Sidewalls: Very thick, durable and strong sidewalls will help the skier maintain power through turns and through a variety of snow conditions.

Sandwich ConstructionSandwich Construction (SW): SW means that the sides of the skis are a vertical wall rather the rounded Cap construction found on most skis. Since none of the skis material needs to be exerting force maintaining shape at the edges, SW skis are stiffer than their Cap counterparts. Most people find SW skis to be damper, that is more glued to the snow, superior at high speed GS turns and top notch at busting through crud or choppy snow.

Double Titanal Layering: This ski features two layers of Titanal metal alloy, one just above the base, one just below the topsheet. This gives the ski extra stiffness and strength while creating a dampening, or shock absorbing, effect to the ski. This is usually found in the highest grade of racing and competition level freeride skis.


Wood Core: The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.
