Everything I've heard about this ski I love, now if they were light or at least just not heavy, that would be great, so does anybody know if they are too heavy to do easy spins? I'm 5'7 125-130 lbs and need to know if these skis are too heavy for me, ima get them in 172s.

theyre not heavy. their weight is a little bit more than some other jibby all mountain skis because theyre stiffer and burlier, but there definitely not heavy. the 188 is about 4.8 lbs per ski, which is the same weight as a 184 line sir francis bacon.

Evo is very helpfull:

http://www.evo.com/ski-weight-chart-for-alpine-backcountry-skis.aspx

Here you can check weights. Find a ski about the same size and design and compare the weight.

I always thought that my Bibbys were heavier than similar skis (same size and design) because they were stiffer than most skis, but they were actually lighter, even lighter than softer skis.
