Kastle BMX118 (2013)
Tester's Review
No surprises here. With the highest scores of the entire test, the unchanged BMX 118 returns as a Testers’ Choice ski for the second year in a row, and rightfully so. It’s the kind of ski testers titter over during après beverages and dream about at night. Equal parts power and grace, it rails on groomers, charges down couloirs, smears through trees, and prances through powder with unwavering confidence. Make no mistake: The BMX 118 requires several core competencies, and intermediate skiers should look elsewhere, but experts will find no line out of reach. “This ski screams Superwoman!”
PRICE (MSRP): $1149.00
