We just received the Colby, James, and the West today at my shop and they are absolutely beautiful skis. Im not sure if I can resist picking up a pair. The prices are also extremely reasonable considering the brand.
Does anyone have a personal experience on these yet?

Check it out! http://suburbanskiandbike.com/store/search/brand/Kastle/

debating getting the west but wouldn't pay more than $800. Also how burly do the edges look?

^^Define burly haha. They look thicker than line skis edges, and seem to be thicker than the edge on the ARG and JJ as well. Kastle's reputation is great and I would only expect the highest build quality possible.

Do you think you could get rocker measurements for the 190 west and how tall it actually is?

Why does the colby have to be so skinny. WHY!

How do they compare to other skis?

I've always wondered what the hype around kastles is. Are they really that awesome and why?

Except he's telling the truth.

Anyone know what makes them so expensive? Everything I found on the internet basically boils down to gapers having a dick measuring contest because they own an expensive ski.

Pretty sure they're expensive cause they're kastles. But I'd imagine they know how to make skis.

Saw someone with a pair a while ago, I was wondering what the deal was with them The guy killed it but I don't think that really says anything about the skis.
