More and more skiers are choosing to rent ski on their ski vacation, even when they own a perfectly good pair of even two at home. Why, first it is expensive to travel with skis, and second skis have become very condition specific, where you would even want a different pair of skis if it snowed 4 to 6 inches than you would if it snowed 6 to 10. Let alone the difference between skiing a big powder at an extreme area such as Aspen Highlands Bowl versus carving groomers at Snowmass mountain. When you rent skis from a ski shop you get the option to trade out the skis for a different pair every day. So you can choose the exact right skis for not only the exact conditions of the day, for everything from a powder day, to sunny soft bumps to hard and fast groomers. As well as in a place like Aspen that has four mountains you can choose to rent a big mountain ski for Aspen Highlands, a Mid Fat for Aspen, an All Mountain ski for an area with the variety of terrain that Snowmass has or a Freeride Park & Pipe ski for Buttermilk.
So you understand why it is such a good idea to rent, now which skis are the right ones for you. True there are a lot of good skis out there today but one brand has set itself apart from the rest in terms of performance, and that is Kastle Skis, and if you can rent any skis you want why not rent the best.
Here is what some industry experts had to say:
From Blister Gear Review: "The BMX108 absolutely dominates in chop and crud. Their stiffness and early rise profile allow me to power through variable conditions. Ultimately, this ski is a big-mountain charger designed to crush variable conditions. Where more powder-specific skis like the Megawatt often deflect and get knocked around, the BMX108 is not fazed and is capable of blowing through chop even when the snow becomes heavier and more set up. In this respect, the BMX108 is comparable to skis like the 193 Blizzard Cochise, as they are designed for busting through variable conditions and do so with ease so long as you stay on top of and drive the ski."
