“Elan is opening a totally new chapter in the ski industry with this engineering breakthrough. This is the biggest innovation in skiing since carving was invented!” –Filip Flisar, Ski Cross World Champion
Take this Flex Seal infomercial style durability test with a grain of salt as it comes from Elan, the maker of the VOYAGER Foldable Ski, but you have to admit they are a bit more robust than one might imagine. The key to the collapsing ski’s rigidity is the folding mechanism that Elan developed on tactical ski for special mountain forces. Check out ski cross star Filip Flisar doing his best to snap them at the hinge…pretty impressive:

MAKING THE MOUNTAINS CLOSER
The new Elan Voyager is the world’s first high performance, folding, all-mountain ski. On one side very convenient to carry as it folds under 1m. On the other side will the Voyager happily tackle anything a demanding skier can wish from a ski, without compromising a single bit of a performance.
ULTIMATE TRAVEL COMPANION
Plane, train, or automobile, no matter how you access the mountains, Voyager fits your adventure.
Voyager is a highly innovative product that Elan focused on for the last three years. It proves that Elan is still one of the leading brands in innovation among the ski industry. Voyager is the first fully functional alpine folding ski, that carves the groomers like a race piste ski and handles any terrain with ease. Elan’s revolutionary Connect Tech has made folding skis easy and efficient for transport without sacrificing performance on the slopes.
This innovative technology is so good, that even the most experienced skiers’ minds were blown away when we showed them the ski folded after they skied them. Elan’s unique Amphibio Profile, Laminated woodcore, and RST sidewall guarantee the performance you expect from Elan, while a specially designed Fusion plate and Connect Tech structures are integral to skis’ performance, while still allowing it to fold.
