The construction of the ZAG Freeride series Slap uses multiaxial glass fibres, which increases the stiffness in torsion and flexion and together with Pawolwina makes the ski overall light and playful even at high speeds. The ZAG Slap 98 is the golden mean of the Slap series - a winner on and off piste.

A SLAP particularly effecient in all conditions. The ZAG Slap 98 is even more versatile than it’s bigger brother, the SLAP 104. In addition to its ease in carving, the ski pivots very easily.

The transition between turns is even more intuitive than the rest of the lineup. The ZAG Slap 98 feels perfect under the feet giving the skier a sense of power and control.

A great compromise between good grip on hard pack and good float in powder. The embodiment of versatility.

Zag uses only FSC-certified wood for their skis. The edges are made of recycled material and the topsheet is made of 50 % bio-based polyamide.

Heavy Duty Light: Slap - Freetouring / Freeride
Lightness and power to hit the groomers and large fields of fresh snow. This construction uses multi-axial fiberglass, increasing the skiability and power by providing stiffness in torsion and flex.
The goal is also to reduce the weight of these XXL skis, hence the presence of paulownia in addition to the resistant poplar. In the end, this construction allows for a light, playful and stable ski that’s resistant over time, all characteristics of the legendary SLAP’s DNA.
