Women's All Mountain — Performance on groomed terrain and versatile in trees, bumps and light powder.
Description
Designed, prototyped and tested by women, the Earhart 88 wasn’t designed by a committee of men. With best-in-class edge hold, smooth turn initiation and a playful personality, it makes skiing feel effortless again. Rocker in the tip and tail add versatility in soft or variable snow while camber underfoot allows you to carve hard on the groomers. With plenty of stability thanks to two partial sheets of titanal metal and 8 inlays of our patented non-Newtonian VibeStop™ (HDT) polymer, you will never feel so confident on a pair of skis.
Awards
“At 88mm underfoot, the Earhart 88 is the narrowest ski we tested, and the Powder Union found that it nailed its intended use: Carving. Renoun developed a core construction using using a non-newtonian polymer [VibeStop™], which changes stiffness under stress. When you bend the ski, it stiffens up, strengthening your effective edge and making it quick and responsive in changing terrain. This will give you the confidence to lean into your turns and ski harder than ever before… For laying trenches on fresh corduroy, the Powder union found nothing better."

How it works >
-
Stability of Titanal
Two partial sheets of titanal add even more damping power and confidence at speed, without adding too much weight.
-
Versatile Shape
With rocker in the tip and tail, the more you tip the ski on edge the more it engages in a turn. Also lends itself to a much more forgiving personality. Easy to smear, yet still lets you carve like a pro.

United StatesEasily Conquer Any Snow Condition
The Earhart 88's perform, just as awesome as my Endurance 98's in any snow condition whether fluff, powder, ice, crud, or groomed. I love them! The rocker/camber & overall ski weight makes it easy to ski the entire day & still have fun.
United StatesAmazing skis
I love the Earhart 88’s. I’m an intermediate skier in Western Washington state. These skis made me feel much more confident and in control. Super stable in variable terrain and they literally turn for you. Beautiful ski, great engineering. My whole family is going to be skiing on Renoun!
United StatesEarhart-88 SMOOTH
Smooth...the overall attribute my wife spoke of on each run. She was impressed with the ease in which the Earhart-88 reacted to snow conditions, i.e. packed powder to frozen. Perfect ski for the variable and ever changing conditions at Jay Peak! Nice work Renoun.
United StatesAmelia would be proud
I think the Earharts are a ski that Amelia would be proud to have as her namesake. Like her, they fly. Bottom line: you will, too. A great all-mountain ski, particularly for you east coasters.
United StatesLove them
My wife loves her new Earhart skis. Too bad she had such a short time to ski on them. She said it was like floating on air-- point them and they turn!
How Does It Compare?
Endurance 88
The Endurance 88 has a lot of the same attributes as the Earhart 88. The shapes are almost identical but the Endurance 88 has two full sheets of titanal metal while the Earhart has two partial sheets. This further increases the level of stability over the Earhart, but also increases the amount of weight. The Endurance 88 is better suited for ladies looking for a burly, harder charging, all mountain ripper if the added weight isnt an issue. The Earhart 88 is a happy medium, the partial titanal sheets still add plenty of stability without the extra sluggish weight of a full sheet.

Endurance 98
The Endurance 98 has versatility first in mind. For skiers who realistically ski 50% of their days off of hardpack, it's great for variable snow depths, trees, and the occasional pow day.The Endurance 98 is better suited for those who are willing to sacrifice some hardpack performance of the Earhart 88 and Endurance 88 for increased soft snow versatility in more varied terrain.

Earhart 88
The Earhart 88 is designed first and foremost as a hardpack and groomer ski. Rocker in the tip and tail add versatility in soft snow while camber underfoot allows you to carve hard on groomers. With superior edge hold, smooth turn initiation, and a playful personality, the Earhart 88 makes skiing feel effortless again. View Earhart 88 >
