Park Ski Weight.

Yo NS,

I hate heavy skis. It's a real peeve of mine. I have the 2009 Atomic Punx, but I've had them for 2 years and I kinda wanna switch it up. I like the AR7 but they seem to have a consensus of being kinda heavy. I don't really like that. Anyone have anything different to say? or better yet, a weight in grams? for the punx or AR7? I feel like if I knew the weight of my own ski, it would help. also, I know that the Liberty LTE is 1525 @ 171, and I think that those seem to be quite light. So a comparison to those would be sweet. +k for good help and good suggestions

p.s. I'm 5'8" and 135 lbs. 90% park, 10% all mtn.

The important thing is swing weight. Overall weight of a ski doesn't matter too much if a ski has light tip and tails.

Yes. If your this concerned about the weight of your skis, (you want the weight in grams? really?) hit the gym.

the ar7 has cap design in tips and tails (which makes the swing weight light) and has siddwall underfoot. Unlike the punx which have sidewall construction throught the whole length of the ski (which makes it heavier)
