Yes. That is average.

It is normal for skis to be heavier with bindings on. Your set-up is normal.

just weighed my 178 anthems each ski weighs 9 pounds with binding, so the pair + bindings weighs 18 pounds.

your pair of skis weighs 14 pound or each ski?

you are either making fun, have a terrible scale, or are using 30 din world cup bindings, I can't tell which.

Thread maker: average or on the heavier side for park skis at only 171.  Look P/PX bindings are far from light and Chronics are not the lightest either.  you will be fine though.  My setup is 181 Pipe Cleaners with Tyrolia Peak 15s, about 13lbs/pair, so on the lighter side of skis that long with 15 din bindings.

don't worry so much about the exact weight.
What matters is do they feel heavy on your feet.

Weight really only matters when they're on your shoulder IMO. Don't worry about it, you can still spin heavy skis.
