Built to provide speed and stability for those hard-charging, all-mountain enthusiasts, the Kastle FX96 HP delivers with an updated construction that swaps out the two layers of titanal from the previous iteration for a carbon/fiberglass wound core, thereby lightening the ski without compromising downhill performance.
The FX96 HP shines in its ability to provide unparalleled edgehold and dampness, which results in confidence inspiring turns across the full spectrum of snow conditions and terrain features you'll find on the mountain. If you're a powerful descender and are seeking a ski to take your turns up a notch, then look no further.
Matched with the Salomon S/Lab Shift binding, which is built to provide the uphill efficiency of a pin-tech system, and the downhill performance and safety of a DIN certified alpine binding. The Shift is a full crossover binding between ski touring and alpine skiing - perfect for blending resort skinning / backcountry touring with lift-accessed downhill. Rest assured you'll get the most power transmission and control to your skis, with the ability to be used with both alpine touring boots (uphill + downhill) and alpine boots (downhill only).
It's worth considering adding DPS Phantom Treatment to the package - Phantom is permanent waxless base glide cooked up between the University of Utah and DPS Skis that ensures a never-wax-again glide for the lifetime of the skis. Basically, during the application process the treatment percolates into the honeycomb structure of the base and binds at a molecular level when cured under UV light. The result is permanent glide performance that works really well across all snow temperatures. Also, a big perk for touring specific skis is that you don't have to worry about peeling away hot-wax from the ski base every time you apply and remove your skins, subsequently drying out the bases much faster. With Phantom, you feasibly never have to apply wax again.
This closeout package purchase includes a free binding installation (the bindings are not yet mounted to the skis). If you need climbing skins as well, we can make a recommendation and trim them to fit so everything is ready to go upon arrival to you.
