Kastle TX99

It is designed as a hybrid. While it is lightweight enough for backcountry touring, its construction is robust enough to handle resort skiing, making it a true 50/50 ski for those who want one pair for both environments.

The 99mm waist provides a solid platform for float in soft snow. While it isn't a dedicated powder ski, it offers enough surface area to keep you on top of most conditions without sacrificing agility on firmer snow.

This ski is built for advanced skiers who prioritize stability and precision. Its stiff flex and damp construction require an aggressive, confident pilot to get the most out of the ski, especially in variable or firm conditions.

Yes, the Hollowtech tip removes mass from the ski's extremities, which significantly reduces swing weight. This makes the ski feel much quicker and easier to maneuver in tight trees or technical terrain than its construction would suggest.

Thanks to the semi-cap sandwich sidewall construction and wood core, the ski holds an edge exceptionally well on firm snow. It feels damp and planted rather than chattery, providing the confidence needed for high-speed carving.

At 1400 grams, the TX99 is quite light for its performance class. While dedicated ultralight mountaineering skis exist, this weight strikes a great balance, ensuring you don't feel like you're dragging heavy gear uphill while still having a powerful ski for the descent.
