The Ubac 95 Lady Rental from ZAG is a women’s freeride touring ski designed for ski-rental fleets and backcountry enthusiasts alike. It offers a balance between uphill efficiency and downhill agility, making it a solid choice for those looking to explore varied terrain without added bulk.
With a 95 mm waist width, this ski strikes a middle ground between flotation in soft snow and precise edge control on harder snow. Its flat-binding configuration means the ski arrives unmounted, giving rental shops or individual riders the freedom to choose bindings that suit their needs. Weighing in at just 1 260 g per ski in the 164 cm length, it falls into the very-light category for freeride touring skis, which helps reduce fatigue on long ascents.
The 16 m radius at 164 cm indicates a natural turn shape that’s neither too tight nor too long, making transitions between medium-sized turns feel smooth and predictable. The tip/waist/tail dimensions of 127/94/114 mm combine to offer firm edge hold on groomed slopes while still providing enough surface area in the tip and tail to stay afloat in deeper snow. A flat ski core—meaning it’s not pre-drilled for a specific binding—allows for custom mounting positions to fine-tune balance and response.
