Mike, Gary did try the 98, its a bit on the beefy side for him.? Its an awesome ski, I wish it was a 178. Phil said it right; they should really make both versions of the 98 and call the new one somthing a little different like a 98R or something like that to differentiate the two. Typical Kastle feel, just more of it!

Ron,
Just before your trip, we were discussing that you had the MX88 and 98 and were they too close in performance to justify keeping both. As you sold the mx98, I'm wondering if it was simply a length issue. I'm thinking the Kastle MX series has a hard snow bias and some of its magic disappears as a soft snow/pow ski. Not surprised Gary found it beefy.

It just seems to make more sense to get a One or a S3 which have more of a soft snow bais. For sure, I'll demo one of these when I'm out with Phil.
