French company, here is their website: http://www.zagskis.com/2008/en/

There are a lot of EU companies that i wish i knew more about, because i am sure there are many things that are not exposed to us here in North America.

I skied a pair a couple years ago and they were sweeeett skis.

I have no doubt that their freeride skis are some of the best around

Zag skis are amazing, their quality is just through the roof. The retail on those over here in Europe are like 600euros I think (new) which is about $900-1000US so that is a fucking bargain with bindings. You know which bindings?

It's a bargain man, I would buy those without thinking about it.

Peace

yeah word, they look like PXs I'd imagine either 12 or 15s. They'll be fine.

Seriously, buy them...

A friend of mine skis ZAG, it are his first twintips ever, so he hasnt really anything to compare it with, but hes very happy about them, he shreds the whole mountain on these babies + after more than a month of skiing i couldnt see any topsheetdamage/basedamage whatsoever.... (he doesnt do that much rails, but he goes backcountry every once in a while...)

so from what i've heard/seen, these are fine skis...
