Ok im being trying to decide for the last month about which skis to get and i cant make up my mind, so i thought i ask about it here and see who here has them or used them before and help me reach a descion. I want some good piste skis so i decided to go full out in money wise(considering i actualy have a job for once and not a ski bum)..
So any ideas
The Salomon Aero X or the Kastle MX 70

What will you be using them for?
Having skied neither, I can't offer a real opinion but from what I hear the Kastle build quality is second to none. Or at least second to only a few ;)
I want the MX98s in my life more than just about anything (ski related).
I quite agree. I have just spent 2 weeks skiing all terrain on what my OH deemed to be matchsticks, at 76 waist :D
He OTOH skied the same terrain on new skis with 87 waist, and was equally happy....until I decided to give his new skis a spin and he had to ski on my skis :lol:
Some friends have the Kastle MX88 and they really like them.

I've never used the MX 70 so I can't compare, but I have rented the Aero X and really liked them, always felt in full control and could really let myself go carving on them and they wont slip on ice. I'm also looking to buy my own ski's this summer, but will probably go for some freeride ski's, I really like the Salomon Tornado's.

I was thinking of freeride skis but also want Piste Prestige skis aswell. So hard to decide

Lets not suggest Salomon Tornado's are freeride skis.
High 70s won't sacrifice much piste performance and will be more than useable in most conditions you will encounter.
