I picked up a pair of 180s in a store recently and they weigh about as much as a 90 mm waist 160mm ski. Do they have a core made of queef or something?

They're completely hollow in the middle and the bases are super sintered. Chris benchetler really works magic with his shit yo

Queef core is coming maybe 2024, prototype stage right now. So light the ski floats in the air when you are not standing on them, smell like tuna if you snap a pair though.

The 100s are heavier than the 120s though. Which is kind of the point here - the much bigger ski is still lighter.
