Today I put on my boots and skis for no particular reason, and I noticed that I could barely jump when standing still. Did I skimp too much on training for winter, or is this how it is for everyone?

I wouldn't be surprised, I'm pretty light for my height (5'9', 135~ lb.). I should probably eat more.

damn! what kind of skis do you have? i hope they are heavy because i can do 180's standing still easily. And I'm sure that 80% of the people on here can too!

I have 165 cm Dynastar Concepts and 170 cm Volant Epics. Both are equally hard to jump with. I'll have to try again because I was trying to jump in a small space and trying not to be loud.

see if you'd sat on top of buildings wearing all your ski gear all summer like I told you guys to then you'd be slam dunkin' with your skis on right now!

Newschooler.....Skogens don't come in 177, they come in 176. I can do 180s easy in my living room with my 177 1080s...well I could last year anyways. I haven't tried it yet on account of my knee.

LOL at anyone concerned about ski weight. It's not hard to do anything on a "heavy" ski.
