- Limited Edition Plaid topsheet includes red/black buffalo plaid, a chainsaw, and da Upper Peninsula.
- Clearview core graphic shows the hardwood core through the red middle section of the skis.
- 1 of 75 to ever be built! Each model/length quantity is already set, some combinations only have 2 pair available.
- Available on Ahmeek 95/105/115 to suit your unique skiing style.
Construction
Proudly Made in USA
Core
Laminated ash/poplar hardwood: Long grain premium white ash and tulip poplar is hand-selected and cut into full-length strips. Strips are individually flex indexed and laminated together symmetrically. Each laminated core is CNC milled to a precise thickness profile developed for each model and length.
Composites
Unidirectional carbon fiber strips along the core, lightweight triaxial fiberglass above and beneath the core, fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock-solid bonding.
Sidewall
Full-height urethane - bombproof and double-chamfered for reduced swing weight. A rounded mini-cap top edge rolls over the sidewall to protect your topsheets.
Topsheet
Clearview gloss nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to the core of the ski.
Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC knife-cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm oversized and heat-treated edges take a beating.

What length should I get?
Each model in our ski line has unique characteristics - please visit each individual ski model page for more info or contact us.
What bindings should I get?
You can use any binding on these limited edition skis. The binding brake width must be at least as wide as the waist width of your selected ski model. For example, the Ahmeek 105s require a brake width is at least 105mm wide. We run Marker Griffon bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.
What are Camber Pockets?
Camber Pockets are additional small sections of camber (about 4 in long and 0.030" tall) molded into the overall camber of the ski in front of and behind your midsole position. They increase contact pressure to improve grip on hardpack and ice.
Are they tuned and waxed?
Skis come tuned with a 1° base edge bevel and a 2° side edge bevel and a slight tip/tail detune. The skis are waxed with a universal temperature wax to get you going.

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.
