I was chatting with a stranger on a chairlift recently and I brought up Kastle skis. I've always pronounced it like you say "castle".
He corrects me by saying its pronounced "Kas-lay". I had no idea if he was right or not.

It's kind of like Blizzard skis. Is it pronounced "blizzard" like the storm we all desire or "Bliz-zard"?
I go with "Bliz-zard" since that's how both the guys at the shop where I buy my stuff now (including a pair of Blizzard's) and also the Blizzard rep that I spoke with this past December at demo days at Mount Snow pronounced it

I was told back in the 80's, when Swiss skiing legend Pirim Zurbriggen was skiing Kastle's to world cup title after world cup title, by a 2nd generation Austrian who owned the ski shop where my parents bought most of my families gear at the time, that it was pronounced "Kest-lay" Not sure if it's "Kas" or "Kest"-lay but it's definitely not "castle!"
I've always heard it as Kas-le. So then is Dynastar pronounced Dine-astar or Dee-nastar?
I've always known it as this.Kastle rhymes with Nestle.
To whoever was rocking these Kastle DHs at Cannon yesterday: you are the MAN!
