Don't just take our word for it
The Ahmeek 105 could arguably be in this section (All-Mountain More Forgiving), our More Stable All-Mountain section, or even our All-Mountain Freestyle one. That’s because it’s a damp, pretty stable, and playful ski that offers an excellent blend of firm- and soft-snow performance. Its “camber pockets” in front of and behind the bindings lead to above-average edge hold for a ski this wide. Coupled with its fat, soft tips, that makes the Ahmeek an excellent carver, while its fairly deep tip / tail rocker lines also make it feel maneuverable in tight terrain.

Customer Reviews
After a season with my new Ahmeek 105 skis in 180cm, I'm thoroughly impressed. These skis handle everything from powder to groomers. Compared to my 2015 Ahmeeks they feel stiffer but they might just be skied out.
They provide excellent stability and edge hold with minimal wear. For those seeking versatile performance on varied terrain, the Ahmeek 105 is a fantastic choice.
55 degree wind blown Rocky Mountains chutes, bumps, trees or groomers these are the perfect big mountain, all mountain skis!
I read all the reviews and talked to Shaggy’s a few times prior to buying. After the research, I thought these would be the skis I used for many years to come. After skiing them 3 days in Alaska, I’m very on the fence regarding keeping them. Only thing holding me back is the cash I have into them and the awesomeness of how they look. I have Ahmeek 105’s, 180 cm in length.
Here’s the details: I’m 6’1”, 180 lb, advanced skier. Pow days on advanced to expert is what I’m at home at. I ski 25+ days a year from the Midwest to the Rockies. My daily drivers are Elan Ripstick 88’s, which I absolutely love.
I expected them to take a few days to get used to compared to my other skis, but the Ahmeek’s are still difficult to turn and feel like they have bricks tied to them. They are fun in powder, however still difficult to maneuver. Sizing down from 180 cm might have been a better option. How much better, hard to say though.
It took me a month to write this review as I really want to love the Ahmeek skis. I failed to compare the detailed specs and see how heavy they are compared to my Elan’s. That’s on me. I’ll give the Ahmeek’s a few more pow days before I sell them and will update the review if I discover something that changes my views around.
Some positive items to note: Shaggy’s customer service is excellent, skis are extremely well build and of high quality, and the graphics offerings and customization is awesome.
Been skiing the Ahmeek 105 in 186cm since March of ‘24. Ran these first in Michigan at Crystal Mountain on a weekday after a bit of spring melt. Pleasantly surprised by the edge grip on all their selection of runs.
Brought these west to Breckenridge for first week of April spring break skiing as the alternative to my beloved Fat-ypus Desenders, 112 waist in 194cm, which have been my everyday west skis. The Ahmeeks are up for the task. With a thinner height these are ready to rotate on edge and carve. They also give float for a couple inches to half a foot of fresh snow.
Running these in January’25 as the go to set at Keystone, Vail, Breck and Crested Butte. Work for carving groomed blues and blacks, bumping, side stalk, steeps, and everything they encounter. Only one day in the last dozen was spent on another ski set when it snowed 6”-8” and my 125 waist powder boards were tasked.
They. Are. Perfect.
