1260s are incredibly light. And etom, they come in 153, 164, 177, and 180 now so they're not too short anymore. I think they should have a 172 in there though but that'd probably give the Mike Nick Pro some good competition.

As of this year, the Line 1260s are the lightest twin tip ski availible. May be short for some, but they are the lightest.

'linechick' hates lines???
meh, she's right though, lines blow
tweaks are actually very light... but they are so skinny that you can only use em in the park an on groomers... a lot of twins are getting fat now... like the scratches, 1080s, Armadas, and the Public Enemys

i've done a couple 3's just moving slow, just gotta pop good and set the spin really hard. i would say the 10's are pretty light, and last year's atomic freezones, those are kinda light too...

It doesn't really matter what twin tip you got, with the developmet of twin tips now, they are all pretty light, it all is what bindings you get, like some slomon bidings are pretty light and my friends got the scratch bindings and they are light as well. but i think you should try the new armadas, they seem sick

The new 1260s are actually supposed to be pretty nice. I never knew that they made them bigger than 164 this year though. Interesting...

i'm in love with my volkl legends. they're real light (without my bindings). but a word of advice....don't buy salomon bindings!!!! i have s912 on mine, and i wish now that i would have gotten something else because they made my skis so heavy. i'm going to break them so i can get new ones ha.

later,
Sonya

for the morons my 163 airstyles are exactly 6 lbs per ski with fairly heavy marker 6.2 bindings...thats 12lb's for both of them now everyone else do the same

I hear the new 1260s, or concepts, the tweaks are super light. Scratches and 10's are too wide.
