kastle mx89

Hey guys, thanks for all the content you put out here. It's a great source of information. I spend a lot of time here lately. My question is as follows: I'm a 5'10" 240-pound nearly-advanced groomer skier, strong and fairly athletic despite my weight (I do hit the gym, squat and deadlift north...

Since I seem committed to owning more skis than days I ski in a year, I own or am very interested in the skis below. My interests range from Northeastern hardpack to Utah powder and a variety of terrain. If hardpack—>powder defines the extremes (if it’s all ice, I’ll stay home), I’m happy to...

Hello – I’ve decided to post up my dilemma after searching a fair bit through the site and reviews. I find the incredible variety of ski choices at the moment difficult to navigate so hoping for some steer. I’m 47, 5’11 175. Grew up skiing, quit around 25 and got back into it 6 or so years ago...

Kästle LX73 Dimensions: 115-73-99 Radius: 15m@164cm Sizes: 140, 148, 156, 164, 172 Size tested: 164 Design: Carryover Tricia: (from last season) Kästle has changed its LX lineup; it added a sidewall construction, making this ski completely different from past versions other than the LX in the...

Many of us have champagne tastes and beer budgets. It is nothing to be ashamed of; sometimes there are limitations in the budget, and trust me, we don’t judge. Don’t fret, hold your head high, because we are going to show you some great options to some of the popular premium models from each...

Both of these skis figure prominently in my article on once-in-a-decade skis. While the MX88 was referenced in that piece, the MX89 is its newest incarnation. If you haven’t noticed, the Renoun Z-90 has gotten a bit of support here of late; it is the golden child of Pugski and deservedly so, as...

Kästle BMX105 Dimensions: 134-105-123 Radius: 21m@181cm Sizes: 165, 173, 181, 189 Size tested: 181 Design: Carryover Philpug: I am not sure how I can be so blah on the FX95 and so enamored of the BMX105. The FX/BMX shape is indeed polarizing, with many really liking the FX; the BMX, although...

So in this Cage Match, we are matching the varsity quarterback against the prep-school crew captain. Yes, both, are athletic, smart, and segment leaders, but it’s how they approach and display their talents that separates them. Thank you @TimF for the suggestion. Walk into the Wobbly Barn...

Ah, the blue-blood brothers from other mothers. Few have skied either of these refined combinations of metal, wood, plastic, and rubber and thought, "Eh, they're just okay, I don't get what all the fuss is about." No, these skis are the reason skiers ask forgiveness after the purchase rather...

This year gave us a new opportunity at SIA, a "not exactly sure what we will be testing” opportunity. In 2014, we knew we would be on hard-snow skis. In 2015, we knew we would be on soft-snow skis. For 2016, conditions ended up putting us on every kind of ski, from 68 to 112 mm underfoot (I...
