Ski weight

Best way is to check each manufacturer's website. Weights vary a lot even amongst individual manufacturers. I think it is pretty reasonable to have skis from 1900 to 250 grams per ski. The kartels 108 for example is around 2300 grams for the 186 cm version, while the line mordecai is around 2200 grams for the same size.

Are you aiming for something lighter for any specific reason?

Looking for something lighter in hopes I can ski for longer on long days or when I'm tired from work but still want to night ski with friends. I know its probably not going to help too much but I guess its worth a shot. Thanks for the info.

The only 'lighter' ski I demoed was the soul 7 a while back. I hated the feel of it. I kind of think this super light trend in skis isn't all its made out to be. Really light skis are great for the uphill part of touring for sure but I find them in a way draining on the way down especially in chop because the ski gets deflected a lot.

Skis with a bit of mass can push over rough or variable snow a lot better making it less fatiguing. Of course there is a sweet spot as too heavy and you feel like you are wearing cement shoes.

I would suggest trying to demo a whole bunch of different skis. You'll be bound to find the general type of ski you like (aka playful,chargey, powerful etc) and can extrapolate to other brands.

Correction on my first reply. Weights from 1900 to 2500
