Your statutory rights are not affected so if there is a defect with the skis please get in touch and we will remedy this with the supplier as per their warranty process.

More about Hollowtech

Kastle's patented, key technology is unique to ski manufacturing. By removing unneeded layers in the front of the ski Kastle make the ski lighter. This results in several advantages: the ski becomes up to 30 % damper, the ski feels more stable, edge-grip is more powerful, steering is more precise and the overall weight is reduced.

The new version 3.0 of Kastle's HOLLOWTECH technology has been revolutionized: It is now even lighter and features exclusively in the FX and PX ranges. HOLLOWTECH 3.0 is created in two layers. A new outer ring cuts out even more materials to save more weight. The size of the HOLLOWTECH is precisely matched to the shovel of each particular model - for performance that´s unbeatable.

IMPORTANT: Buying Skis From The Skiers Lounge

When you buy skis from The Skiers Lounge we always QC check them, and wax them properly with a ski waxing iron before dispatch. This is because the wax on nearly all brands of skis is for transit protection, and most often applied as it rolls over a waxing brush and into cellophane packaging. We do not charge for this because we believe all new skis should have a good wax before first use.

When buying skis with bindings we will require the following information. Please add this information in the Special Requests box at the checkout, as without this information we wont be able to progress your order to the workshop for correct binding setup:

Ski Buyers Guide

Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:

STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer

Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

  • NOVICE (Level 1 to 4)
  • INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
  • ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
  • EXPERT (Level 8-9)
  • PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)

STEP 2 - TERRAIN
Now you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
  • - Groomed Piste Runs
  • - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
  • - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
  • - Off-piste skiing (powder)
  • - Ski touring

STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:

Ski Length Chart


STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVEL
The final calculation- For NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for EXPERT and PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
