Ahmeek 85

Details

The Ahmeek 85 is made for skiers looking for a playful ski to take all over the mountain when you haven't seen fresh snow in weeks. It's narrow waist and camber + camber pockets underfoot provide you with confidence to hold an edge when the snow is icy and firm. Heading for the bumps? Its moderate flex is forgiving and easy to whip around at both high and low speeds. Heading off the trail? Like it's big brothers (Ahmeek 95/105/115), the Ahmeek 85 features a full twin tail for quick maneuverability in the tight trees. 

When you want a ski to keep things interesting and explore the mountain but don't hit much fresh snow, stop shopping here at the Ahmeek 85 and start your best winter yet.

Features

  • Tip rocker maximizes flotation in powder and busts through crud.
  • Full twintip tail allows the Ahmeek 85 to maneuver easily in the tightest trees.
  • Camber Pockets molded within the overall camber triple the turn initiation contact points for maximum edge grip on hardpack.
  • Hybrid MidLight construction combines ash and poplar hardwoods with carbon fiber and lightweight triaxial fiberglass for weight reduction without sacrificing pop and energy.
  • Balanced flex allows skiers to charge groomers and big terrain, yet have enough flex in the tip and tail to remain playful across the mountain and float through powder.
  • Rounded mini-cap top edge with full-height urethane sidewalls are bombproof and provide a sleek look.

Common Questions

What length should I get?

The Ahmeek 85 has a rockered tip and a full twin tail. If you are between lengths, size up for a more stable ride, size down for more maneuverability. Check out our size chart for more info.

What bindings should I get?

You can use any binding on the Ahmeek 85 as long as the brake width is at least 85mm wide. We run Marker Griffon bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.

Premium Materials

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 below the core, lightweight triaxial fiberglass above and below the core, fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock solid bonding.

Bio-Based Epoxy
Entropy Super Sap® epoxy contains 28% bio-based content and is specifically designed for skis. It's formulated for high-strength and impact resistance, which creates a durable, tough, and lightweight composite.

Sidewalls
Full-height urethane - bombproof and double chamfered for reduced swingweight. 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 wood core. 

Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC Knife Cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm over-sized and heat treated edges take a beating.

Can't wait until winter

This is my first pair of Shaggys! I bought them during the summer sale. I am pretty new to skiing. I started 2 and half years ago, To spend quality time with my daughter who rides a snowboard. I knew that snowboarding wasn't for me. I took ski lessons, and was absolutely hooked! I learned pretty quick, and went from rentals to buying all new equipment. My first skis were Volkl deacons, and I really liked them, but out grew them very quickly. I learned about Shaggys from watching a Mount Bohemia YouTube video of the Shaggys family vacation, and knew right then I had to own some Shaggys skis. I went to Caberfae on a demo day, and skied the Ahmeek 95s. I liked them, but I needed something a little narrower in the waist to turn easier, and get up on the edges. I love to put my shins right in the tongues of my boots, and go! ,and get aggressive. I haven't been on my new skis yet, because it is summer, but from what I'm seeing the attention to detail, and craftsmanship are something you won't find on mass produced brand name skis. Hurry up winter!
