THE ZAG UNIVERSE

ZAG Skis: an ode to togetherness

Who are we?

The human face of the mountain

ZAG is a story of adventurers, starting with an enlightened shaper who decided to break the boundaries between skiing and snowboarding, piste and off-piste, ice and powder.

A veritable hunt for compromise in the dogged pursuit of creating the most comfortable skis ever imagined. A revolution as disconcerting for some as it is inspiring for others, initiated in 2002 in the heart of the world's largest ski area, the Haute Tarentaise.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

At the heart of our approach is the ZAG Lab, our research and development workshop in Chamonix, at the foot of the Grands Montets ski area. This is where the heart of the brand beats: a place where innovation and craftsmanship meet.

In this unique laboratory, each ski is imagined, prototyped and tested by our team of engineers, shapers and passionate skiers. Our location puts us right where the action is, enabling us to move from concept to execution in record time: designing, producing and testing several prototypes in the space of just a few days. This reactivity allows us to constantly refine our models to reach the highest standards.

The ZAG Lab is more than just a workshop — it's a space for sharing knowledge and passing on expertise. We foster a spirit of craftsmanship, a deep respect for materials, and a passion for creating skis that truly embody the needs and aspirations of their future riders.

The Community

The Community

ZAG is a family open to all those who give life to alpine culture: athletes, guides, instructors... but also weekend warriors in search of unique sensations. Whether it's a turn in deep powder or an adventure in the wildest corners, we want to offer every enthusiast the best equipment for memorable moments, whatever their level.

The culture

The culture

From our home in Chamonix, we’re dedicated to capturing and sharing the depth of mountain culture. Beyond just performance, we explore the alpine way of life and its enduring traditions. With a clear awareness of the climate challenges facing our environment, we strive to preserve the memory of this fragile and invaluable culture.

our vision

ZAG represents the true spirit of the mountains — a place of genuine emotions, personal stories, and everyday heroes. It's a mountain rooted in passion and authenticity, free from pretenses and deeply connected to nature.

By choosing openness over isolation, we turn skiing into a bridge between the mountains and the wider world.




Our story

FROM ORIGINS TO TODAY

Following on from this first transgression of codes with the creation of the BIG and GOLD in 2002 and 2004, which turned skiers and snowboarders into one and the same person, the ZAG mission continued with the desire to confuse freestyler and freerider with the SLAP MW in 2008.

In 2012, we sent hikers out to meet freeriders with the UBAC, the first wide, lightweight ski that marked the advent of a new movement, now in full maturity: freerando.

Riding, observing, listening, exchanging ideas with sliders from all walks of life - the explosive cocktail that connects us to the terrain, feeds our high standards and keeps our passion intact.

ZAG is next.
