Im looking for some light skis. Not to bothered about price, i just want a ski that is lighter than my current Line Anthems 171. An suggestions? is the rossignol s4 jib a good choice?

If your not super weak having a heavy ski will not affect you at all.

Its all about swing weight.

And yes s4s are very good skis.

i live in the UK so i only get to hit small kickers apart from when i go abroad. the times i find the anthems heavy is when im trying to get a 7 round and some times they feel a bit slugish. would it be noticeable, the weight difference between the s4 174 and the anthems (bearing in mind the anthems measure up at around 174) ?

the problem for me is that here in the UK the LIberty LTE is the equivalent of $600 and I will be able to get the rossignol S4s in a discount sale for $350, so I am leaning towards them. Are the S4s a good choice if im looking for a light ski?

S4's are definitely not rockered, but yes theyre very light. Also, I just got atomic punx and have found them to be very light as well.
