2025 Kastle ZX 100 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test Review

Nice review. Would it compare well to a head kore 100?

Thanks for another great review! I’m160 lbs, 5’10”; a proficient beginning expert 74 yr. old. I like to turn a lot, ski equally on and off trail. Trees, moguls, Pow and broken snow. In Colorado. My other skis are 176cm to 180cm. I’m wondering if the 175cm will be too short and so am considering the 181. Any advice? Also, how would you compare this ski to the Rossignol sender/soul 102. Unfortunately, where I am located I am unable to demo very many skis. Super appreciate all your comments to everyone’s questions!

Sizing question. I'm 165 cm. Strong skier ( physically strong, advanced technique...not expert) stuck bw 168 and 175 (ski actually measures 174) i love my blaze 94 in 172cm. Mpro 90 and kore 105 were fine at 170cm. Atris 172 was fine for me. M free 99nin 171 was great. Arvs and playmakers were fine at 180 cm. But i generally like 166 to 170 as my sweet spot. Zx would be my soft snow/ western ski. Is 175 cm too long? It would be the longest I've ever owned. The tail is fairly flat. ive owned many Kastles. They have a business like reputation. I don't want to get myself into too much ski. Soft snow skis should be fun! Not work. I love trees skiing. I would have my blaze 94 to fall back on, but I really want this to be my soft snow ski for the East Coast and West Coast all around

Hey, I'm looking for a east coast pow ski to mount some duke pts to and this seems like a good option but I'm unsure about the length. I'm 6'2" 180lbs and an expert skier who is comfortable skiing anything on the mountain. I have a dynastar legend 96 ~180mm in length which tends to feel a bit short in powder and chop so I was thinking about getting a longer ski. I'm worried that the 189 would be a bit long in trees though. The advice of someone who has had a chance to ski these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How would you compare these to the blade optic 96?

Hi there,

I'm currently looking to get a new setup of 70% in bound/ 30% light touring, planning getting the duke pt to pair with it, I don't really mind the weight since I'm doing light resort touring. The question here is that I already own a pair of nordica unleashed 98, are these too much of similar skis? Don't really want to switch bindings on my unleashed since I only acquired them a few months ago and I'd rather not to drill them again.. Also has the zx100 been the same ski since 2022 except for graphic change?
Sorry for the long paragraph...😅

Thanks
Steven
