The worst ski's

Today, companies put so much money, time and effort into developing skis that no models are truly awful. Sure, some skis are better than others, but I would argue that no skis released over the last few years are genuinely 'bad' and unfit for purpose.

I broke my heel-piece and had to use rentals at the hill for the day. Worst day ever. I think they were Rossignol RTL's.

Kastle James. I had them 2 seasons ago, and I had 2 other friends who had them. They were the least durable ski I've ever rode. The edge broke after a month of riding them. I sucked at the time, and I hit a rail maybe twice a day. I repaired them, but it happened again a short time later. I wasn't even skiing in the park the second time, I was skiing in moguls. It happened to my friends as well.

Oh and after all this, Kastle refused to warranty them.


Then this year, my buddy wanted to take the bindings off of his old kastles. We took them off, and I asked him what I should do with them. He told me to throw them away. So I decided to do a durability test with them. I hit them on the edge with my ski pole three times. And I picked it up, and noticed the edge had cracked, and popped out. I lifted the edge a little bit to get a look, and ended up accidentally ripping 7 inches of edge from the ski. I didn't intentionally try to rip the edge off, I just lifted the edge a little bit. Worst ski/company ever.

Just wanted to point out that by your own admission you hit rails on the ski. Rails void most, if not all warranties, period.
