Looking for a ski that is very light (max 1400g) doesn't have to be wide I have other touring skis for powder. Doesn't need to be a twin tip. It will be used on low snow, Piste touring and after work tours where speed is important.I ski in the alps.

Other touring skis I own:

Line Vision 108 (daily driver)
Atomic BC 120 (haven't skied it jet but will be used for powder touring and booters)

Vision 98 is almost light enough if you like the way the 108s ski.

Blister seems to love the solly mtn explore 95 for a more traditional shaped ski. And theres also the classic zero G 95 as well as all the backlands listed above.

Most people on newschoolers won’t have a lot of experience on these skis or will say they suck, and they all do ski pretty bad in firm conditions, but thats the trade off for such light skis.
