Gary NEEDS a 84. Its the perfect compliment to his p8 for ec leftover days. This would actually be a better ski for those mixed days than the Pilgrim.

Ah yes.....I have secret negotiations underway with "people"....

Still not quite decided in my mind as to WHY I would need such a fablous ski given my current mix....still....I am intrigued!

I have looked into the eyes of Medussa Phil.....but only using my shinny shield....I still have the power to get away.....the legs are willing but the mind may be too weak!

Same results were found with the Icelantic Pilgrims....EMS had more of the skis in stock than any ski resort.....they were selling them for backcountry skiers...

who wudda known....it's such a verstile front side/back side ski....Ron told me Icelantic is now marketing it as their all mountain ski....it is a great one indeed!

I actually skied the MX78 and liked the Fischer Progressor 8 better....probably cause the 78 was stiffer and at my body weight, the P8 was more compliant.

My wife owns the MX78 in a 156 legth and she can't say enough good things about it. It's her front side, bump and powder ski....

In checking the Kastle web site....I couldn't find the FX84 listed...thought that was kinda strange....maybe they just have not updated it yet.

Best,
G

Gary, I believe your wife has a 152 ;) I could be wrong, I have never been much of a numbers guy.

Kastle will be updating their site in the beginning of October.

Yes I stand corrected, thanks Phil... ;D

Be interested in seeing how Kastle writes up the FX series.....be very cool if they added something in the 90-95 underfoot range.
