A 130-94-116 mm shape gives the Pika 94 enough width to float soft snow while an 11.5 m radius at 155 cm keeps the shortest size quick rather than sluggish, and a paulownia core, a light hardwood, with a carbon and glass fiber wrap keeps it stiff in torsion. Lengths run 155, 163 and 171 cm at 1,290 g, 1,350 g and 1,410 g per ski, which puts the Pika 94 in touring weight across the whole run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n

and the point of the ski. The radius moves 11.5 m, 13.2 m and 15.1 m across those three lengths, so the shortest size is genuinely a short-radius ski rather than a cut-down version of a longer one. We size the Pika 94 to terrain rather than height alone, and 155 cm is a real choice for a skier who spends the day in trees rather than only for the shortest skier in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe Pika 94 ships flat with no plate mounted, so pin-tech touring bindings are the natural pairing and Kastle does not specify a reinforcing plate for the flat ski. Kastle marks a recommended line and does not publish an offset from center, so we mount to the factory line unless you ask otherwise. Match the binding to your boot sole norm rather than to the ski. Kastle also lists the Pika 94 with an RTS base plate premounted as a separate item, so confirm which version you are ordering before mounting anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eSkin width comes off the 116 mm tail rather than the 94 mm waist, so the Pika 94 runs a 120 mm stock skin trimmed to shape, and Kastle offers both a Pro Skin and a Basic Skin cut for it. Both shovel and tail are hook free, so a standard tip loop works and a tail clip wraps the tail rather than seating in a notch. Brakes, if your binding carries them, need to clear 94 mm, so 95 mm or 100 mm brakes are the sizes to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eSpecifications verified by CCBB staff.

A 130-94-116 mm shape at 1,290 g per ski (155 cm) puts the Pika 94 in touring weight with enough width to handle soft snow, and the paulownia core with a carbon and glass fiber wrap gives it the torsional stiffness to hold an edge when the snow refreezes. An 11.5 m radius at 155 cm is the standout number, because it means the shortest size is a genuinely quick ski rather than a truncated one. Skiers who need 179 cm or longer should look at the TX94, and skiers whose season is deep snow should look wider.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kastle","offers":[{"title":"155","offer_id":48676853743773,"sku":"210000152192","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"163","offer_id":48676853776541,"sku":"210000152193","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"171","offer_id":48676853809309,"sku":"210000152194","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/pika94_01_bdcd302d-bb8e-4b9b-a6be-540744c8b254.jpg?v=1787946329","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/products\/kastle-pika-94-alpine-touring-ski-2026","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
