"The Elan PSX Short is truly a breakthrough. It makes the learning experience for beginners so much easier. It is also a wonderful tool for improving the skills of more advanced skiers." - Okemo Mountain (VT) Ski School Director Marty Harrison

"With the short skis, people experience success quickly, and that makes it a lot more fun." - Jay Peak (VT) Ski School Director Micky Doheny
