Freeride Skis
Designed to float.
You carve into the fresh snow, the tip lifts, the sound fades, and the entire slope falls silent. We design these skis to be wide and lightweight at the front so that the tip lifts and stays up when the snow gets deep and the slope gets steep. Tested on north-facing slopes, for the most intense snow the mountains have to offer.

It's taking shape.
The next freeride ski is on the workbench.
This week, three freeride boards are on the workbench—95, 105, and 110 in width—each offering a different solution for holding a steep, deep line at full speed. We’re testing all three on north-facing slopes until one stands out. The one that holds up stays.
Made to keep you on top.
A freeride ski has one mission: to keep you afloat when the snow is deep and the slope drops away. We build the tip wide and flexible so it climbs over the powder instead of sinking beneath it, and we keep the tail solid so it holds its ground when the snow gets heavy and rutted further down. At the Lab, we test every shape on the steepest slopes within our reach—where a turn that’s even a little too soft is punished immediately. What you’ll find here has floated, held its ground, and delivered the one thing you came for: the thrill of a clean line through deep snow.
A good freeride ski needs to be wide enough to provide lift in powder, stable to hold up at high speed, and rigid to grip on hard snow. It's an alchemy of shape, construction, flex, weight... and feedback from the field. At ZAG, this feedback comes directly from our pro riders, guides and instructor ambassadors.
SLAP: ZAG's legendary freeride line
SLAP is our iconic range of freeride skis. SLAP 92 for fun on the slopes, SLAP 98 for versatility, SLAP 104 for glide, SLAP 112 for tough conditions: they are powerful and committed skis, but they always remain playful.
Freeriding isn't just for pros
People often think that freeriding is for experts only. With the right skis, a little experience and the right coaching, you can quickly get a taste of the freedom of off-piste skiing. Our freeride range is designed to offer progressiveness, comfort, tolerance... and real sensations.
