Kastle TX 103
Best lightweight touring ski for dedicated backcountry explorers
This is the rare touring ski that doesn't feel like a compromise on the descent. It’s light enough to make long ascents feel effortless, yet the damp, reinforced construction provides the stability of a much heavier resort ski when the snow gets variable or steep.
