Kästle FX 96 HP

At first, I was hesitant a carbon and wood, non-metal ski wouldn’t stand up to the variable conditions early in the week at Red, but it cut right through the crud until a refresh came through and smoothed things over. Soft, playful tails plus Hollowtech 3.0 in the tips and an 18.1 meter radius made it easy to navigate tight glades (I only hit one tree!). While the light layup did cause some chatter, the FX96 HP rails turns in crunchy snow and rolls over on edge on the groomers. “I would take this ski anywhere,” said another skier in the Union.
