Does anyone else feel that ski wieghts are important. I mean just as important as the dimensions, stiffness etc. Yet no ski companies ever have them. If anyone has a site that could give me some weights or has weighed there skis post it here.
I totally agree, I think it gives you a way better I idea of what you are dealing with.
An example:
The atomic thug is described in the Freeskier ski review as"the ultimate backcountry kicker tool". now if you where to pick it up compared to a JP vs Julien you realize you are dealing with alot beefier ski. The dimension should tell you that too but if the weights of skis are included you would realize that you are going to need some serious weight of your own to move this thing.
It migth also help too if you where looking at two very similar skis with similar dimensions and flexes, wiehgt then can play a big roll too,sometimes, in making a decision.
BUt you could also just throw that all out the window and just pick the ski based on graphics:)
