Kastle FX104 (2012)
Tester's Review
The widest model in ski-mountaineer Chris Davenport's pro series makes any size turn and thrives at speed. Stay on your game, though: It will bite back if you get lazy. Its lack of rocker hinders soft-snow performance and reduces forgiveness, but strong, technical skiers who prefer a traditional feel will be smitten. It's a great hard-snow fat ski.
PRICE (MSRP): $1199.00
