[Editor’s Note: Our “First Looks” are our way of getting you information sooner on some of the products we’re reviewing, including our measured specs and the details from the manufacturer. Once we’ve started testing a given product, we detail our on-snow impressions in our Flash Reviews and our annual Winter Buyer’s Guide. When we’re able to spend extensive time testing a given product, we publish our in-depth Full Reviews and Deep Dive comparisons.]
What ZAG says about the Slap 104 Lite
“Your passport to backcountry adventure !
Enjoy the best mix between the playfulness of our SLAP line and the lightness of a carbon structure. The SLAP 104 LITE is our first twin tip touring ski. It will give you a lot of fun on your way down!”
For more on the backstory of the new touring-friendly Slap 104 Lite skis, plus many more details on all of ZAG’s new products and projects for the 2024-2025 season, check out our video from the Blister Summit 2024 with ZAG’s Théo Voinchet and ZAG athlete, Teton Brown:
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Slap 104 Lite:
Tips: 7.5
Shovels: 8-8.5
In Front of Toe Piece: 9-9.5
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 9.5-9
Tails: 9-8.5
This ski’s flex pattern is surprisingly stiff overall, and it feels stiffer than the standard Slap 104 around the shovels and tails.
