I was just wondering what the lightest possible ski and binding setup is that is specifically for park?

the JO pros are super narrow.

google would be your friend here. Or just go to backcountry and look it up.


There's also a thread SOMEWHERE that says the weights of all the bindings around.

But really.... bindings weight doesnt make too much of a difference, its the weight thats at the end of the skis that matters, the weight on your feet really doesnt matter unless you are carrying them around. I'd rather have my "heavy" (but not really) all metal FKS and know they are bomber and not gonna release or break than some lightweight plastic piece of crap, but thats just my opinion

Agreed.  Binding weight only matters for carrying them around.  When you are skiing, all that weight is underfoot, its virtually unnoticeable.  Think about it, you have heavy plastic boots on your feet too.  Do you notice the significant weight difference between having ski boots on and not having ski boots on?

they are actually orgasmic. like said above super light weight and responsive, ski switch very well and are just really fun, they have a flexy but snappy flex. like they are forgiving but a snappy responsive flex

jo pros are definately a bit heavier than the atomic triplets i used to have, along with the mojo 11s i think it is one of the, if not the lightest park specific setup you can have. the triplets had foam or hollow core or some ungodly thing. soooo light
