John,
You keep making me want to buy a plane ticket to Big Sky! I need to see and ski the terrain you describe.

I've always believed in the saying "to your own self, be true". When selecting skis, figure out where you ski them and how you ski them, and, only then, buy them after trying them. Your Big Sky ski demands and terrain are unique and, I wonder if generic reviews or thoughts of other skiers are applicable. In your case, you still have the skis serving as benchmarks for performance. Some strange circumstances lead you to a ski you really like. Karma works!

What conditions would you ski the Kastle 84's compared to the Hardsides?

Going to add K2's to your quiver?
