Kastle XX110 Skis

These skis are incredible. They excel all over the mountain. I was pretty leery about relying on a pair of fully symmetrical skis for my quiver of one, but these things truly deliver. I have them mounted on the "AM" line (not true center), and they feel great. The rocker/camber profile is excellent for dealing with a wide range of conditions. Of course, given the width underfoot, they slay big pillow lines, and you can pretty much just lean back and point em in really deep snow. However, I was immensely impressed with the stability and edge control I felt while making deep turns on frontside groomers and just horrible, icy conditions. The hollowtech tips are designed for lower swing weight when in the air, but I found the lower swing weight to be excellent for situations when I was suddenly in a patch of deep bumps that I wasn't ready for, or for bombing through super tight trees. Incredible skis all around, I would recommend them to anyone. For transparency's sake, I am coming from a previous set of 4FRNT MSPs. I like the Kästle's more in every capacity. Do yourself a favor and mount them with a set of Look Pivots. Check out the Blister gear review on them for another good impression.Hide
