We’re creeping up on completing the Ultimate Quiver. Then we’ll test everything. In the backcountry, not on groomers. Human powered. This week’s addition, winner of the Alpin Magazine 2011 ski test, Kastle 87.
Kastle 87 backcountry ski won Alpin Magazine ski test, is in that intermediate width that's just about perfect for ski mountaineering.
These guys weigh in at 53.1 oz for the 177 cm length, sidecut 122/87/110. That puts them in the same weight and width class is a couple other well liked touring skis. We suspect that testing these will be fun. Soon.
