Building on the surprisingly versatile platform of the Ardet 78, the Zag Ardet 85 ups the ante with a bigger underfoot and more capabilities in softer snow. Keeping weight down, the skis woodcore is married to carbon and fiberglass for stiffness and weight reduction. An 85mm underfoot measurement keeps you skiing well downhill, even if the snow is soft or fresh. A ski that will excel on the most rigorous of uphill's while holding its own on any sort of the descent, the Zag Ardet 85 does all that and more, making it a killer do it all touring ski on the thinner side of things. *Note: These skins are designed for SKIMO and do not have tail clips.*
