Description

The ZAG 2017 UBAC is the iconic freetouring ski that made the manufacturer from Chamonix famous. It is with a smile on our face that we unpacked this gorgeous ski featuring an ultra-light paulownia construction. It helps saving energy when skinning up and feels incredibly nimble on the downhill. In terms of shape, there is no revolution to fear, the ski returns with the same huge rockered tip enhancing floatation and turn transitions. The smaller rocker in the tail makes pivot even easier without sacrificing power and rebound on hard snow. 

What can the ZAG UBAC freetouring ski do?

Weighing only 1280 gramms in 174cm, the 2017 UBAC from ZAG is mainly intended for ascending or for long tours. Mount it with low-tec bindings and you will barely feel it under your feet, linking summits one after the other, as if it was easy. On the downhill, it turns into a friendly freerider that has no problem floating on deep snow or riding in variable conditions. It is very well suited for any kinds of terrains. Its 95mm waist combined to a traditional camber deliver stability, support and power even at high speed. One thing though, the most aggressive and fastest skiers may see the tip chattering at high speed on groomers. Not a big deal and that's the price to pay for lightweight.

Who is the ZAG UBAC freetouring ski designed for?

The UBAC is going to make advanced and expert skiers happy. Its 95mm waist and its ultra light construction provide optimal touring and off-piste performance. Powder blast guaranteed!

Tips and advice

On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
