kastle skis

Greetings, looking at the side of my new MX 84's I see 9/176 1039432 followed by a vertical line with a triangle on its side pointing at the line. I an assuming that is the mid point? Anyone know for sure? Thanks

It is a brave new world when an upstart boutique ski builder from sleepy northern Vermont makes one of the reference skis in the hotly contested One Oh Something category. The Citadel 106 is Cyrus’s baby; he made the Z-90 and Endurance 98 first so that he could afford to make a lightweight 106...

No doubt, I'm a Kastle fanboy and this announcement gave me some joy. Kastle is undergoing a pretty radical expansion at the moment. Hopefully it will not turn out to be overly ambitious... Comeback in the alpine ski racing scene after 22 years. Dutch ski racer, Adriana Jelinkova, will be...

Augment All Mountain 88 Dimensions: 126.5-88-112.5 Radius: 21m@179cm Sizes: 163, 171, 179, 187 Size tested: 179 Design: All New Move over, Stöckli -- yep, I said it! The brand formerly known as Croc is now Augment, but its skis are still made in Austria. This a skier's' ski: superb, exacting...

These skis shouldn't need an introduction. They have a mystique, and its deserved. The smoothness and ride is better than almost any other ski. They are extremely well made and hold up beautifully over time. I have taken care of these skis and they are in tip top shape. They have a SKIMD base...

When Kästles, Stöcklis, and Renouns become commonplace, it is time to elevate your options. I was invited to the Mudroom at Caldera House in Jackson Hole to test out Kästle’s Limited Edition 93mm Supra and Bomber’s new 84mm 50/50 ski, the Pro Terrain. The Mudroom’s manager, Gov Carrigan, made...

newbie here... Headed to Breck on Friday & already called several shops looking to demo either of these brands....to no avail. Anyone know of a Stockli shop in the area? Or Kastle? Would love to demo AX and SR88. Thanks for the help? Stephen

As title indicates, Kastle FX104’s in plastic, lets say NOS. Bought these from Powder7 before I ever stepped on a Stockli. Taking up space now. I really did like these skis a lot. Pretty wide performance envelope. $300 shipped lower 48. If that’s nonsense, let me know or make an offfer -...

I recently demo'ed the 2018/19 Kastle FX 95 HP, and loved the ski. I'm looking to buy a pair for the best price. During my purchasing research, I found that the 2017/18 Kastle FX 95 HP are priced at 40-50% off, which is obviously attractive. But here's my dilemma...the ski construction in...

Christmas Day and I took my MX89s out to ski and noticed one of them had delaminated near the tip. I currently have a BMX 105 HP and an MX84. I have also previously owned the BMX 88, BMX 98, FX 84 and the CPM 82 and never experienced any issues. The quality has always been top notch, which is...

Plans finalized for my annual "Dads-Only" trip to the Rockies, this year to Aspen (first time) -- we'll be checking in Feb 17 (Sun), skiing Monday through Friday, and rolling on on Feb 23rd. Anyway, one in my group, an expert skier, doesn't have skis worthy of the name anymore, and is going to...

Christy Sports is having their annual Loveland Demo Day on Saturday. I went last year and it was awesome. They had PLENTY of awesome skis to demo including a good selection of skis from premium brands like Kastle and DPS. Last season it was a powder day. This year its almost 100% certain that it...

Here’s another proof that the august sport of cross country skiing is experiencing a massive revival: Yet another ski manufacturer is about to come on the market: Austrian Kästle Ski is getting into the game. Kästle is a huge name in downhill skiing , associated with such greats as Pirmin...

Stöckli vs Kästle, Kästle vs Stöckli, these are the comparisons that keep people coming to Pugski. I feel like a ring announcer in Vegas: "In this corner, measuring in at 74mm underfoot, the Kästle MmmmmmmX Sev-en-ty Fourrrrrrr, and in the far cornahhhh, measuring in at 77mm underfoot, the...

These two premium skis are sure to be compared over a snifter of one's favorite Cognac. This was actually a tougher comparison last year before the Endurance evolved to its newer shape. Last year I referred to the Endurance 98 as the ski that the FX95 wanted to be, a bit stronger with a touch...

Evolution is safe, revolution is risk. Product managers are in a constant fight for balance and must determine when evolution is not enough and revolution is needed. But evolution can actually be riskier than revolution: brands can be so content with the sales and acceptance of a particular...

Here are links to all of the reviews we have compiled of the 2019 skis. Full List By brand:

Ok last item I'm getting rid of this summer: 2017 Kastle BMX 115's in 193cm. They've been skied one full day in powder. Some minor scrapes, nothing meaningful. $500 for the skis flat. Currently drilled for look pivot 18's, size 26.5 boot. I'd like to keep the bindings, but if you want them...

This week on Chairlift Chat we take a closer look at the 2019 Kastle FX 95 HP, discuss why it has such a high price tag, compare it to some similar skis, and more. Right now we have both the 2019 graphic available as well as the 2017, which is discounted over $500! Of course, if you're...
