The Elan Primetime 55 is a piste ski built for skiers who want agile, mid-radius carving on groomed slopes. Designed as part of Elan’s Sport Mid Turn range, it offers a balance of responsiveness and stability for sporty runs.
In its 165 cm length the Primetime 55 features a sidecut of 121/69/102 mm, combining enough width at the tip and tail for solid edge grip with a narrower waist for smooth, quick transitions. Its 13.7 m radius brings lively turn initiation, while the included Elan EMX 12.0 GW Fusion bindings make for a straightforward setup and dependable on-hill performance.
Here, radius refers to the sidecut radius—the imaginary circle the ski’s edge would trace if extended into a full arc. A 13.7 m radius means the Primetime 55 naturally follows a tighter turning path, so it responds readily when you lean into a carve, helping you link precise, controlled turns down the piste.

Elan says about the Primetime 55
The most exact ski of the collection, Primetime 55 rules in edge-to-edge quickness and delivers elite carving capacity with a smooth energetic feel.The lightning fast quickness of Primetime 55 stems from its 69 mm waist combined with state-of-the-art PowerMatch Technology, a design that matches the construction of the ski with how the skier puts power to the snow, for more natural control of the inside and outside edges throughout the turn. It uses a combination of Amphibio Profile and a Dual Density Woodcore which has a thicker profile with higher density wood reinforced by Dual Ti along the inside edge for power, stability, grip, and rebound. The outside edge is constructed with a thinner profile and lighter density wood for intuitive maneuverability, improved tracking, and weight reduction. It's topped with the new Fusion X binding system that has been raised in the toe to improve balance while allowing the ski to flex naturally. This makes Primetime 55 the clear choice for skiers that appreciate an exact and exciting carving tool.
