ZAG UBAC 102 Ski Review

  • 2020-11-28 09:12:59
    You may not (yet) heard of ZAG Skis and for this, I’ll forgive you as they were just recently introduced to Canada this winter. They have been a staple in Europe for the last 15 years where they are developed in Chamonix France. ZAG's off-piste freeride heritage shines through in their UBAC 102 Skis which are the lightest freetouring ski in their line-up. They come in a 95 and 102 version and are a dedicated touring ski which can still carve at the resort. If you are looking for a more freeride orientated ski then be sure to give my review of ZAG’s  SLAP 104 Skis a read here. 

    Read the full review of the ZAG UBAC 102 Skis here.
