Zag Slap Skis

No, the ZAG Slap is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers. Its moderate flex and 103mm waist width require a certain level of technical proficiency to control effectively, especially in varied or challenging terrain.

Thanks to the double rocker profile and 103mm waist, they excel in soft snow and powder by providing excellent float. On groomed runs, the ABS sidewalls and camber underfoot offer reliable edge hold, though they are wider than a dedicated carving ski.

Since the ski has a 103mm waist, you should choose a binding with a brake width of 105mm to 115mm. Generally, the brake width should be equal to or up to 15mm wider than the ski waist.

Yes, they are versatile enough for alpine touring. The Paulownia and Poplar wood core keeps the weight manageable at 1820g per ski, making them a solid choice for backcountry missions where you want a ski that can handle both the climb and the descent.

This construction method prioritizes a high strength-to-weight ratio. It uses durable materials to ensure the ski can withstand impacts and hard use without adding unnecessary weight that would fatigue your legs during long days on the mountain.

The partial twin tip makes the ski more playful and easier to maneuver in tight spaces or when skiing switch. It allows for a more centered stance and smoother turn exits compared to a flat tail, which is ideal for big mountain terrain.
