Kastle MX 83 Skis 2024

MORE ZOOM? BOOM.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Kastle MX 83 is a true groomer crushing weapon of a ski. It's built to dominate the frontside and it has a ton of power underfoot, in the best way possible. This is one of the more precise and powerful skis we've been on in a while. It's not as "carvy" as some more narrow, frontside focused skis but it arcs a mean turn. The MX 83 is for skiers who want a ski for eating up groomers and chewed up snow at the resort. It does take a bit of work to get the ski up on edge, but once it's there hold on because it oozes energy, power and wants to take you into the next turn. For a more demanding ski it doesn't feel dead or planky at all, it has a solid yet energetic feel. You can feel the power and confidence from turn to turn. If you're an expert skier you'll love and appreciate how stable and composed this ski feels on as you tip it over edge to edge. Full disclosure, if you have an aging ski boot or a boot lower on the flex index you might not be able to get the most out of this ski. Intermediate skiers should not be scared away, the ski is confident and solid feeling, it'll just force you to become a better skier.
