Hmmm....when I heft my wifes Kastles MX78's in the 152 length...they ARE heavier and as heavy as my 165 Head SS were.....but...they don't ski heavy.

Kastle found the optimal use of pixie dust to charge their skis with mixed perceptions and outstanding performance....what a combo!
Good on them!

I also read that Kastle took special efforts to cutout or eliminate mass at the tip (and maybe tail) of the ski to hold down overall weight but more importantly to minimize swing weight/mass (inertia to an engineer like Mike??).  Weight concentrated in the certer of the ski doesn't feel as heavy as the same amount of weight distributed across the length of the ski.
