Sarge 95

I ski mainly park, and these skis have held up very well through a year of bashing them on rails and abuse in the terrain park. They also do very well in many all mountain situations, but they are a little skinny when it comes to powder skiing. That's obviously not what they're meant for though so that's not a knock. Overall I love the skis so far and would recommend them to any park rider on the fence about getting these skis.

I skied the Sarge 95 all season. Great ski that handles bumps, powder and grooms. On trail off trail and back on... like a dream.
Only 1 complaint. Wish the top coat was more durable so they stay pretty. Highly recommend to any ski spirit.

I work in Telluride as a ski instructor and the sarge started out as my free style ski and turned into my daily ride. Most fun ski I’ve ever experienced. I’ve ripped this from the park to groomers to 8-12 inches of fresh champagne pow and they do not disappoint. Hard to find a park ski with the perfect flex and pop that I can still carve when the terrain calls for it.

The 'Sarge turns the whole mountain into your terrain park. If you love skiing the whole mountain, and also like laps in the park, this is the ski for you!

Its directional profile and solid flex underfoot makes for stable GS- style turns on hard pack. Combine this with the innovative camber pockets located in-front and behind your boot contact point and you'll keep good grip, even after weeks hitting rails. Pro tip: keep these camber pockets sharp while de-tuning underfoot for a ski that won't catch on rails but still hooks up on icy groomers. The tip and tail of this ski are a lot softer than the mid-section which keeps them playful and really good for butters and presses, while keeping the backbone and stability needed for big jumps and going fast. The recommended mounting point is 2cm back from dead center, and puts you right on the middle of the effective edge when taking the directional rocker into consideration. This is where mine are mounted for primarily park riding!

As an ambassador for Shaggy's I've helped test a lot of different construction techniques and in the past a lot of those techniques didn't hold up to hard park riding. Durability is a huge priority for a ski that is going to spend as much time grinding steel rails as sliding on snow. I've been on my 'Sarges since last December hitting street spots, riding park, bombed out spring snow (mostly rocks), I even skied down a couple sand dunes with them. They are a little beat up, but after 100+ days that pair is still my daily driver!

The Sarge 95 is hands down the best ski I have ever owned. Living in Vermont I need something that is good on groomers, ice, and on occasion 6"-12" of fresh pow and these skis do great everywhere, just in this past week I have experienced all three and they put my rossi's to shame.

Love the tip shape great for flotation in powder

I'm 52 and if I had any park days, they're behind me. I purchased the Sarge95 this winter after skiing a K2 Shreditor 102 for the last two seasons. I was riding the K2s as a means to get off-trail and to enjoy freeskiing a bit more, but with my weight at 165# and with 102 mm underfoot, they didn't do very well on hardpack. After talking about parameters with Jeff we arrived at the Sarge95. Well, this season I wasn't able to do any backcountry, but have skied more glades then ever before. Add to that the crazy variable winter we've had here and the Sarge95s have handled about everything I've thrown at them, from icy hardpack to powder days. I'd recommend the Sarge95 to not just park users, but to anyone with a lighter weight that gets off-trail and wants a playful and versatile ski.

Talk about a ski that can can do damn near everything. Many claim to have a very diverse ski on the market, but none deliver as much as the Sarge does. The Sarge bridges the gap that is so hard to overcome - the combination of a park and all mountain ski. You can spend days on end sliding rails and slamming the Sarge on icy landings - knowing you'll still get great edge contact and hold while turning on the groomers and glades. Everything will stay well intact too, given the how durable the ski is. Worried they won't perform well on a pow day? Don't fret; the rocker and waist are more than capable of tackling some fresh, fluffy snow. Better yet, when it's a blue bird park lap day, the rocker makes the ski that much more playful. For the park rider that wants access to a little more, or the all mountain skier that wants to try some park laps - this is the ski for you.

I rode the Sarges for the first time this fall/early winter and instantly fell in love. Being a heavy park rider who still enjoys putting down some crisp turns a couple times a day, I instantly fell in love with the camber pockets that are found in many skis of across shaggy's line but more importantly in the Sarges. These camber pockets allow the edges of the skis to get worn down from use in the terrain park and even normal wear and tear without sacrificing the edge hold I look for when laying down carves on steep runs. Another strong suit of the Sarge is its durability. I have upwards of 70 days this season almost all of which were spent riding a Terrain Park and I have never had a ski hold up better with that kind of heavy use and stress that I put them through on a regular basis. Shaggy's also has great customer service and they really want their customers to get the most out of their skiing and enjoy riding their skis as much as they enjoy making them. I have recommended Sarges to all my friends and to everyone who asks me about my skis on the chairlift so if you are on the fence about buying these ski, do it! You will not be disappointed.
