Ubac 102 2024

The Ubac 102 2025 is a men's touring ski from the Zag brand aimed at advanced skiers.

This product has been developed for those who prefer to go downhill rather than uphill, although it's light enough to perform well uphill too! With 102 mm at the skate, it's cut out for the great outdoors and will have you soaring over the snow. It is more stable than the much-prized Ubac 95, particularly in complicated and varied snow conditions.

To achieve a weight of 2.90 kg (size 176 cm), the brand has used its Light construction and 100% paulownia wood core, a wood renowned for its lightness and design performance. It also has multiaxial carbonfibre and fibreglass which make the ski more rigid and dynamic. This is combined with straight ABS edges for flawless grip on all terrains, a sintered sole to go faster and faster, and HR edges that are more resistant to impacts so you can have a ski that is ideal for both uphill and downhill skiing!

In terms of shape, it's designed with a medium camber underfoot for efficiency and power. There's also a double spatula/heel rocker that improves flotation when mother nature is being generous!

If you're a fan of freeriding and untouched slopes away from the crowds, this is a lightweight ski that's very good in its class for chaining together big vertical drops and descents!
