Liberty Larose Pros are actually way light. They got that bamboo core. As far as light bindings, it doesn't matter. If it's not swing weight it doesn't matter.

line 1260s were the lightest freestyle skis

id assume SPKs are pretty light

if you feel AR5s are too heavy though, you probably are on skis that are too big for you.

binding weight doesnt bother me at all, considering it hardly affects spinning. ski technology has reduced weight in the tips, not the center.
