Question for the Kastle group... I'm searching for a new Western daily driver - 100 ish waist, heavy ish, can put on edge and carve decently, but most time will be in moguls & trees, so needs a loose enough tail and some pivot-ability. Based on my love of my GPOs and old EHPs, I'm drawn toward heavier all-wood skis.
The ZX100 and 108 jump out as all wood, both >2000 gr in a 189/191, some camber but enough rocker/taper + loose enough tails to slash and pivot through tight spots.
Lots of people seem to love the 108, but there's not nearly as much info on the ZX100. Safe to say the 100 is basically a skinnier (lighter too) version? I saw some comment that maybe more cambered? Or are there bigger differences between the two? I'd like to go with the 100 since this would pick up all low tide duty, but not if it's a neutered down 108.
Thx for any insights!

For what you describe the ZX 100 is great. It's kind of a sleeper compared to it's competition. We demo it at the store, my kid who just finished 3 years of FIS and is a strong 165lb skier said it was his favorite ski of all the ones he tried when we were testing. His daily driver is an M-Free 99 if that helps?

^^^ Yes, super helpful, thx Waxman. The MFree 99 is also kinda in the mix, but some good deals now on the Kastles. Makes sense that kind of a sleeper since it seems to be outside the norm vs traditional Kastles. If good enough for your racer kid, prob good enough for me!

sorry, M-Pro 99

Does anyone have a Kastle shop or connection? Would like to make a deal on 3 pairs of paragons. TIA

[waxman]

I know a guy. Me. But I think there's a USA shop on here too? Maybe from Jackson Hole?
I'm in Fernie and have 107s in stock in every size. Of course I can get more.

[TheK12]

Has anybody skied the Paragon 107 yet and can compare it to the outgoing FX 106ti. Looks like I can score a deal on last year's 106ti but wondering if it's worth stepping up to the 107. I currently have a ZX108 and I love it in fresh powder but it gets knocked around at the end of the day when the snow has setup a bit more. Would the 106ti ski that much differently than the 108?

Anybody selling BMX115's or ZX115's in 193cm? Pow ski slot opened up in my quiver and I'm on the hunt.

Yes, I had the FX106ti and now have the paragon 107. I really liked the 106 except for the tail - it was too stiff, flat and squared. It would dig in and was hard to release. The paragon 107 - they totally nailed this ski. They fixed the tail. The ski is precise on firm snow with excellent edge hold and loose as hell in soft snow, can even slide it around with your weight a little forward when it’s firm. Incredible ski and they nailed the updates.

Mixed snow, shifting visibility, and a big afternoon warmup today. Happy to have options

See my last message. You want the paragon 107. The fx106ti is really more like an MX106

I believe Sierra.com has the zx on sale for cheap

ZX115 or Paragon 107? Want to try some Kastles. Ex racer, put skis on edge and like to ski fast. Im torn as I like wider skis - most my skis are 112-122 but also like stiffer skis. Which woudl you choose? I have many skis so this is for trying Kastle - can ski them twice a year and throw them on ebay or 100x a year. Thanks

I have a pair of 186cm that I would let go for $200 shipped (less if you're local to SLC and I don't have to ship). Skis are in almost new condition but they would have 2 mounts.

[AK47bp]

I Have 192cm FX106ti with one mount for attack demos. $200. Filled this spot in my roster with the Corvus so passing along if anyone wants let me know. Will send pics.
