Kastle Biafo Skis

While the Biafo is engineered as a dedicated touring ski, its semi-cap sandwich sidewall construction provides enough stability for occasional resort use. However, because they are optimized for uphill efficiency and variable backcountry snow, you will find them most rewarding when used for their intended purpose in the backcountry.

Hollowtech Evo removes material from the tip of the ski, which significantly reduces swing weight. This makes the ski feel much lighter and easier to maneuver during kick turns on the ascent and helps you initiate turns more quickly on the descent.

With an 88mm waist and a progressive rise profile, these skis excel in variable conditions. They offer enough float for fresh snow while maintaining the edge hold and maneuverability needed for crusty, wind-blown, or firmer backcountry terrain.

A hook-free design means the widest points of the ski are slightly tapered inward. This prevents the tips and tails from catching in deep or inconsistent snow, allowing for smoother, more predictable turn releases and better control in tight spaces.

Yes. While paulownia is chosen for its lightweight properties, Kastle reinforces it with carbon and glass fiber. This combination provides the necessary stiffness and torsional rigidity to handle aggressive skiing without adding the weight of a traditional heavy wood core.
