Elan Voyager: bringing the mountains closer
Elan, maker of handcrafted skis 100% made in the Slovenian Alps for over 75 years, earns recognition for launching the world’s first all-mountain folding ski, the Elan Voyager. Following an early release in 2021, the Voyager has been distinguished by the most prestigious awards including the Plus X Award, ISPO Gold Award in the Hardgoods Category, Big See Product Design Grand Prix Award, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia Gold National Innovation Award and the highest-calibre Red Dot Award: Best of the Best.
The revolutionary design was created for the growing breed of urban ski enthusiasts juggling a busy work schedule with travel, family and fitness, but who desire a quick, convenient ski trip escaping to a winter wonderland. The Voyager is convenient to transport, be it by car, train or plane. It simply and quickly packs into its custom bag. Despite being so space-efficient, the Voyager will happily tackle anything a demanding skier can throw at it, all without compromising an ounce of performance.
For 75 years, Elan has been at the forefront of ski industry innovation, and the technology packed into the Voyager further elevates this legacy. The design team spent several years fine-tuning the Voyager at their headquarters in the Slovenian Alps to ensure it delivers the level of excellence Elan is renowned for.
The result is a ski that allows you to bypass the wait at the oversize luggage belt or the tedious queue in the rental shop. A ski that allows you to carve up groomers, float through powder, then slot into the back of your car with plenty of room to spare for other luggage.
The secret of the Voyager is Elan’s revolutionary Connect Technology which uses a highly advanced four-axis mechanism that bonds and seals the ski together at the folding joint. This feature combined with a carbon-reinforced fusion plate serves as a load-bearing platform for support. The two components work together to provide torsional rigidity for superior ski performance, but also allow the ski to fold into a compact, easy-to-transport package that complies with check-in baggage requirements.
The Voyager also features Amphibio technology, a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. The cambered inside edge assures precision, edge grip and stability, while a rockered outside edge is forgiving and makes for buttery smooth transitions. Finally, the laminated Woodcore and RST sidewalls guarantee maximum hold from tip to tail.
