thats not correct. weight helps you in pipe and in slopestyle. andreas has a huge weight advantage over simon. simon goes huge cus hes simon and because he has salomon race bases on his competition pipe skis.
simon goes huge on the 1st hit b/c he skis up the wall and doesnt travel like most people would, then the rest of his run is about the same as everyone else. haviet doesnt go as high b/c he doesnt get on his edges very well
I would argue that being light does not help you go higher...when simon was younger he couldn't even get air cuz he was too small...not to mention that weight = momentum and momentum and pumping are huge in the pipe...
On another note, II was stoked on Andreas' ski porn seggy cuz it had rise against in it. thats what the industry needs is a little more punk rock...
