Kastle TX99
Best lightweight touring ski for experienced backcountry mountain athletes.
This is a rare touring ski that refuses to sacrifice downhill stability for uphill efficiency. It feels planted and damp in variable snow where lighter skis chatter, though you will notice the extra heft on the skin track. It is the ideal choice for skiers who prioritize the descent above all else.
