Hi,
Does anyone know anything about ELAN Ti IDS skis - around 2002/03 year.
I've googled them but cant find anything.

Sounds like an upper level Integra (8-10, or an MX4, though I doubt it). Ti IDS is not the model designation but marketing speak for the damping system. Is there a number? 8? 9? 10?
What do you want to know? The Whistler/Whisper series were the all-mountain fun ones, the MX series were for all-mountain hooning before 'freeride' had cachet, the HCX/SLX were for zippy fun, the Integra series were just kind of cruisy all mountain skis that improved on the K2 Merlin/VI generation of shapes.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Well,
Bought some on ebay, but no nothing about them. Due to pick them up this evening.
SKI WIDTHS ARE 111/63/101
Was wandering what to expect from the way they ride.
I've looked at the pictures again, but all I can see it Carver, SL, Titanium, IDS in various places.
thanks for the response.

What colour?
It's starting to sound like an HCX, which can be a really, really fun short-turn ski.
Edit: with that sidecut it almost has to be either the HCX or the SLX, both of which would benefit from an agressive 0.75/2 or 1/3 bevel and really wax-saturated bases. IIRC, those were the ones with gallium in them.
Excellent fun on-piste, really stable with high edge angles.
Not for jumping or trees or moguls for risk of permanent reverse bend or delamination.
