my friend has the 2012 atomic punx and their mad light. i have a-bangs and thinking about a ski that is like the punx (possibly lighter?)

so in all seriousness what are the lightest skis? (+k for good answers)

Light skis break, grow some leg muscles.

LTEs are sooo nice! I loved mine last year, and yes they are extremely light, I don't find ski weight to make that much of a difference though

i don't really find the weight to matter that much, especially if you have dominant leg muscles. if the ski has good swing weight, etc.. i wouldn't worry

Check out the Moment Reno Jibs or the Vices. Aspen/Ash core, Carbon Fiber Stringers, and matched with griffons or squires and you've got yourself a REALLY light setup

La Sportiva RSR is pretty light.

A bit more weight is okay, you know?

Depending on size, the jib ranges from 6-7.7 lbs, the vice ranges from 6.8-7.8 (depending on size)

I cannot find any specific weight on the Punx.

Well then why do you feel the need for something even lighter than the punx? Punx are stupid light already.
