Zag Slap

The 104mm waist provides a solid platform for float in soft, deep snow, especially when combined with the tip and tail rocker. While it handles variable backcountry conditions well, it is not designed as a dedicated carving ski for icy, groomed runs.

This ski is ideal for backcountry skiers who prioritize a playful, poppy feel over pure stiffness. It suits those who want a maneuverable ski for technical terrain and tree skiing rather than someone looking for a heavy, damp charger for high-speed resort laps.

A 2/5 flex rating indicates a softer, more forgiving ski that is easy to pivot and maneuver in tight spaces. This makes it highly approachable and fun in soft snow, though it may feel less stable than a stiffer ski if you are pushing hard through heavy, chopped-up crud.

The 5-point shape pulls the widest points of the ski closer to the center, which reduces swing weight and makes the ski feel shorter and more agile in tight terrain. The multi-radius sidecut allows you to vary your turn shape easily, letting you switch between short, snappy turns and longer, drawn-out arcs.

Yes, the Zag Slap features a dedicated skin attachment system with a hole in the tail, making it easy to secure compatible skins. This design ensures your skins stay centered and secure during long ascents.

At 1940g per ski, the Zag Slap sits in a middle ground for touring. It is light enough for efficient skinning on most backcountry missions, but it prioritizes downhill performance and stability over being an ultra-lightweight skimo-racing setup.
