The Kastle MX 83 Skis with Bindings are a fantastic option for advanced and expert skiers who are looking for carving nirvana. Construction starts with these skis start with a poplar and beech wood core in the central spine of the ski with the outer parts consisting of poplar-only stringers. By keeping the stringers of the wood on the thinner side of the spectrum, the Kastle ski designers are able to keep the ski balanced, poised, and damp, much more so than with blockier wood cores. Hollowtech in the tips keeps unwanted vibrations and chatter to a minimum. That whole thing gets two sheets of fiberglass and two sheets of titanal to really round out the robustness of this setup. At 83- millimeters underfoot, the skis have the right width to stay on top of crud and chop, but also have the appropriate narrowness to be torsionally stiff and responsive on the firmest and iciest of days. Kastle has a long-standing reputation for quality and craftmanship, and it truly shines through in these skis. Thanks to the build, shape, and profile, these skis have the ability to make some of the cleanest and roundest turns out there. If you’re looking to spend most of your time on the groomers, while leaving the opening for having some fun in the off-piste, the Kastle MX 83 Skis with Bindings is a great choice.
