Perfect stocking stuffer for the family. Shaggys is on white so I color coded all the kids straps with different colors so no arguments
Awesome company and my skis are exactly what i wanted
Words do not do justice to explain how great these skis are. They crush everything. They rail groomers like nothing else and superbly hold an edge with the camber pockets. East coast conditions have met their match. They are also super fun in the bumps and the trees; I would say that I have significantly improved as a skier in those areas just from having these skis.
My only fear is that Shaggy’s discontinues or changes their current formula with these skis. So much so that I might have to buy a second pair just to stash in the basement for future use when my current pair ages out.
I will never buy another type of ski for the rest of my years, the Ahmeek 95 is simply the best. You guys rock!
Actually haven’t worn it yet
Last season was my first year skiing Shaggys skis. I have been skiing for 2 and a half years. I took to it right away, and had a blast doing it . My first skis were Volkl Deacons. I learned to ski on them. I quickly out grew them. Then I heard about Shaggys. A Michigan company. Being from Michigan I wanted to support the economy of the state. People told me I wouldn't like their skis ,because they're not geared towards beginners. Plus you won't be able to learn to carve with them. Being relatively new to skiing, I didn't know what to expect. I purchased them during the summer sale, and just couldn't wait for winter. When the time came,and it started snowing. I was nervous from what everyone was telling me. Then I took them out for the first time. At first they felt different from what I had previously. After the 3rd time down, I loved them . This ski is very responsive and turns very easy, as for carving with them . I can tip these right up on the edges, and carve effortlessly. Keep doing what you do to the crew at Shaggys. Because I don't see myself skiing on anything else
Love my Shaggy’s… I have skied on a number of different trails with every snow condition imaginable and have enjoyed every minute. I liked them so much I bought a second pair.
I bought the 168's. I had the Tyrolia attack 14 binding put on them and i am wear Dalbello Pantera 120 boots. I was using Line Sick Day all mountain skis and switched to these. These were a total game changer for me. I live in Ohio so the hills are kind of small compared to most places, but these make the hills so much longer. I would recommend these to anyone that enjoys making fun turns on groomers. You will not regret purchasing these
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.
The shape pulled me in. I pondered it for a year and pulled the trigger last fall. These guys rip! They are a hoot on groomers. Confident on ice, rail the end of day crud with ease. I would mount back as recomended. Went with 169 and was worried they'd be too short but they are fine. Definitley not the fastest skis in my quiver but they are exactly what they say they are.
Awesome skis, all they want to do is turn from edge to edge. Exactly what i was looking for.
Absolutely and completely impressed. This ski has zero learning curve. The second you put it on edge, it does exactly what you hope it would. Click in and start ripping turns. I ski in upstate NY...translation- ice. These skis are the answer. Sean (from Shaggy's) and I designed my top sheet graphic . I explained what I wanted and he made it come to life. I would recommend this company to anyone who is interested in a ski and especially if you seek something custom.
Just received and mounted before our Valentines/President's weekend dump at Vail. First couple runs were on groomers and skis were surprisingly responsive and allowed for snappy turns! Then, the 30" dump came and skis got their chance to prove themselves and exceeded expectation. Pointed skis down all types of terrain and never failed in any condition.
Great ski Shaggy!
55 degree wind blown Rocky Mountains chutes, bumps, trees or groomers these are the perfect big mountain, all mountain skis!
Rode my new Tubby’s today in the Pacific Northwest. Also a user of Ahmeek 105’s. These skis performed better in the back country and on the groomers than my 105’s. I was delightful surprised how well they performed. We are getting a 27” snow event next weekend so the true test is coming.
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.
I wanted a ski that was wider underfoot for more float when the snow got deeper. The Mohawk 98's provided exactly that and they rip around the rest of the mountain to get to where the powder is! Very happy with my purchase! :D
I bought my first pair of Shaggy Ahmeeks 8 years ago. It’s been my go to ski ever since. After 200 days on the ski I figured it was time for the upgrade. Unlike my first pair which I customized the ski, I went with one of the stock CU models for the added “steeze”. Right out of the box, the skis exceeded my expectations. Same great ski only a little bit better. It rails on hard pack; plows through the crud; floats in the freshies; and slices through the ice. The most versatile ski anything ski I have ridden. The new Ahmeek really rewards you when you stay centered over the ski. It becomes a rocket ship. Ive said this before - Buy your skis from a local ski company that knows and loves skiing. Avoid those big name conglomerates with their corporate boards that don’t understand what skiing is. Life is short, get a pair of Ahmeeks and enjoy the ride!
Awesome merch
They look great and showed up is perfect shape from what I could tell. Now to get them set up for the mountain
“Fun Carver” describes this ski perfectly. Just had my first day ripping them at my local ski bump in MN! And I couldn’t help but go faster and faster through the turns on these awesome skis! I can’t wait to get them on a larger hill and really letting them rip! Great job Shaggys!
