The Kastle MX 88 Skis and out in a crowded field of the 80’s all-mountain category. We often talk about how the mid- to upper 80’s waist width is ideal for all-mountain versatility for areas that do not receive a lot of snowfall, like the Northeast or the Mid-west. At 88-millimeters underfoot, these skis are one of the best in this highly competitive category. Built with a wood core with dual densities, the central chord of the core is stiffer and denser, making for an amazing carving ability while the outer portion of the ski is made with softer and more flexible wood that gives the ski a bit of playfulness. With two sheets of metal, one on either side of the core, the skis get a ton of strength and power to go along with the sophisticated core that's wrapped in fiberglass. The other cool looking thing about these skis is the carbon Hollowtech tips. Kastle put in a carbon frame around the opening to stiffen and bolster the strength and precision of that area. Since it's meant to be light weight to reduce vibrations, the carbon doesn't counter-act the process. If you are a skilled pilot and spend most of your time on trial but want some versatility built in for when the conditions permit for off-trial adventures, the Kastle MX 88 skis will fit the bill quite nicely.
