When I worked for Rossi, Castle was the only stop on the tour where an entire fleet of skis was unskiable at the end of the first day due to damage to bases and edges. The best thing is it happened there two years in a row. In 7 years of demoing it's also the only place where I had a ski broken during a demo (under the binding no less).
There is for sure some pow day stoke and a cult of Castle "locals" that won't ski anywhere else. It's the last place I'd take new or cherished skis.
