After reviewing the major ski manufacturers, the testers have proven Kastelaar Ski, entirely in solid wood, products entirely in Italy. The Vicenza-based company has brought to the test in Cervinia four ski models, available in various sizes.

Kastelaar is a new brand that has already been submitted and reviewed Neveitalia premiere last year and this year also enters into the group of producers in the Buying Guide Neveitalia with three different proposals: Dizziness and White Four valves in the two proposals Race of Kastela, respectively, and giant slalom, and the adrenaline allround top range. Even for this test Neveitalia chose Cervinia, as usual, the choice was excellent thanks to the optimum temperature to perform the test; sun all day long and not too crowded slopes.

The most interesting aspect of the test is the curiosity that these skis have raised: many skiers were impressed by the aesthetic beauty of a ski, made entirely of wood and required a lot of information, that the two leaders of the house, and Alberto Gianni Rumor Brazzale have spent well.

The entire range encompasses a conservative philosophy of skiing, the materials brought to the test results are indeed welcome especially those skiers who come from the old school, looking for a light "brush" to entering the corner and quiet pace. The same does not invite to a skiing ski racing too but touches on the snow.
Skiers do not have a high technical might find these skis slightly above their capacity, the wood used, especially in models that have the carbon backbone, makes them very stable and pasty.
The feeling that the producers seek is the fact that direct contact with the snow, but not that mediated by metals to flexible and always the same timber. Skiing was the most popular four valves, which resulted in measures 168 and 178 can well cover the whole field of giant race carver.
The stability and the curves are in fact large areas where skiing was excellent, and surprisingly also the ease of handling on the arc of the curve, which does not have any juncture in times of uncertainty or instability.
How fair to imagine, even as the court measures 168 cm, shows a certain difficulty in handling and movement in the exchange rate between different arcs, resulting in slightly restless.
