Kastle MX88 (2013)
Tester's Review
"An inspiring ski," said one tester. "A well-balanced blend of carving chops and playfulness," said another. The MX 88 is a perennial star, and for heavier experts this ski was smeary and easy to steer in trees, bumps, and chop. Lighter testers found it slightly bossy off-piste, but both camps praised its unflappable grip and quiet turns on groomed snow. Admiration for the snubby tip's easy but firm initiation popped up on a few test cards.
PRICE (MSRP): $1199.00
