Replying to How much does your gear weigh?

just as the title says,
how much does your gear weigh?
my skis with bindings-2005 public enemies with rossignol 100 bindings weigh in at about 12-13 lbs
and my boots from last season, nordica bsx, size 25.5 weigh in at about 8 lbs together.
my new boots for this season, salomon mission rs8 weigh in at 9lbs together
so im looking at riding with 22lbs of gear...

snowboard boots have certain boots that are really light, do ski boots have these too?
i really felt all those 21 lbs last season skiing...=/

what do you guys think about weight of your gear and how it affects your performance?
