Despite ski enthusiasts having to go to great lengths to transport their equipment to the mountains, skiing has long enjoyed great popularity. The Elan Voyager offers an impressive new approach to convenient travel with high-performance skis. Innovative design allows Voyager to be easily folded into a compact package for trouble-free transport by plane, train or automobile. It was developed to fill the needs of contemporary skiers and offers excellent performance. The focus of its thoughtful design is on intuitive use, functionality and quality. Voyager showcases a language of form that is reduced to the essential, with emphasis on its innovative folding mechanism that is self-explanatory and easy to use. The process of folding and unfolding is achieved by rotational movements of components that allow snow or ice to slide out of the way for a secure fit. Moreover, areas that are exposed to folding and rotation are designed with care for durability and long-term use. This feature is based on the innovative Connect Technology that uses an advanced four-axis mechanism to bond the ski together at the folding joint and is coupled with Elan’s patented Amphibio technology to provide remarkable on-snow performance.
