KASTLE MX 88 skis

Kastle MX 88

Having been in the market since the 90s, Kastle has brought out another inventive artillery from their ingenious minds and created the Kastle MX 88. With that type of reputation that has been going on for about a decade, the Kastle MX 88 did not fail to win back the trust needed in such a sport where danger lurks at every turn.


Power and stability comes at play with this 88mm waist ski. The MX 88 tries to win back lost fanatics of the ski and it indeed lives up to the promise. The ski has a moderate sidecut that enables skiers to glide off to any mountain setting or terrain with much ease than any other ski in the market.


But, having that amazing details out meant some downsides to it. The Kastle MX 88 is an expensive one. Skiers might find it hard to pick up for its price. Surely, once you’ve overcome that part, it is going to be a heck of a ride. In a market where affordability must be paired with ingenuity and quality, the Kastle MX 88 needs to pull up some strings together and make it more available for skiers both new and old.


But enough with the rant, overall the Kastle MX 88 delivers and it delivers well bringing the tides of war closer to Kastle’s side – victory.

ATOMIC DRIVE 9 SKI

Atomic Drive 9 Ski Series

The Atomic Drive, in terms of footsize, is the same as the Atomic Drive 11 skis, but the Drive 9 is designed for lightweight skiers or skiers who ski more slowly, while maintaining a ski experience.


Moreover, the skis are very versatile and is best used for slope skiing. The titanium transmitters and aluminum stabilizers provide for a smooth ski ride down those rough, steep slopes. This will also boosts your confidence in the ski – reducing fatigue a great deal, as the stabilizers deliver boosts of energy to your body.


I recommend these skis to novice skiers, as well as intermediate and expert skiers, for its easy riding and its input of stabilizers – whether you’re male or female.


They main objectives with these skis are to provide fun and motivation for its users. The ski’s specifications (in length and radius) are 148/15, 156/16, 164/16.5, 172/17.5, and 180/18.The sidecuts for these skis (in hip, waist, and tail) are 106-70-92.5, 107.5-70-94, 110-70-96.5, 111.5-70-98, and 114-70-100.5.

NORDICA OLYMPIA VICTORY REVIEW

Nordica Olympia Victory Review

The Olympic Victory is the newest edition, in the family of Nordica ski equipments. This model is similar to its sister version, the Olympia Speed, but is wider than that version. The good thing about this ski board is it does have a wide frame, but it takes a bit more effort to ride – particularly on very icy snow.


For east-to-west skiers, this board is a very good choice. For eastern skiers, though, that want quicker turns and shorter rides that board will give you, the Speed will be better for you.


I would recommend this board to pro skiers, who will enjoy the easy cuts and turns through moderate snow, but not for novice skiers – as it will be harder to control the speed and turns of the skis. Women skiers will enjoy using these ski as well (they come in ladies’ sizes as well.)


The dimensions of the Olympia Victory skis are (size/radius): 146/12, 154/12.6, 162/14.2, 170/15.8, and 178/17.6. The sidecut is 116-74-104. According to the ski’s manufacturer, this are great skis to have, for the ultimate ski boarding experience.
