Indeed, alpine bindings are built for a reason…

sorry for the late response Jack. Between the 88 and 98, the biggest difference is I noticed is simply the width. A bit more stability in the 98, a little quicker in the 88. Either is a great ski.

As for the FT12 on them? I wouldn’t hesitate in softer snow, but these skis can be pushed so far on hard pack, I’m wouldn’t suggest skiing an FT12 all the time, inbounds, until I’ve tried it myself. I felt like the Kästles were in a different league than all my other skis.

What is according to your experiences the difference(s) between the Kastle 88 and the 98 ? Another question: I found the the 88 very stable, yet easy to turn and very good allmountain ski, but on the heavy side. One dealer suggested to mount vertical FT 12’s on them to offset the weight a bit. You agree ?

I do believe I had a Dav sighting at the Copper while I was there a couple weeks ago… or was it Bigfoot?

The guy I was with, was also skiing on his new Kastle skis. He was lovin’ them and just ripping.

Lynn, I’m pretty sure all my blog posts are just silly attempts at humor…so your comments pertain to the subject perfectly :)
