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.
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.
