Only the real skiers don't give a fuck what ski they are on. Its all in the boots anyway.

Fat skis in the park are always welcome from Pep and mahre using hellbents, to og meeks, to kieran mcveigh. Its about that time where there is another rep buttering around

Literally any other fat ski will work. Just not that one. Never will you feel more helpless than trying to go edge to edge on the Arg.

I rock my hellbents in the park every now and then. They are deadly, fat skis are underrated in the park

Those things are land yachts, super nice but weigh a ton. Not sure how swaps/spins would work on them. Gotta have meaty quads and calves I guess.

4.96x2 ~ 10 Lbs
Look Pivots 2210 grams/set ~ 5 Lbs

10 + 5 = 15

This says avg weight for skis + bindings should be slightly under 12 lbs so they are technically above average. Not tryna diss the skis just saying they are heavy.

These skis are heavy. Pair with bindings = 17.5 lbs.

Thats really not too bad at all, puts it in the same ballpark as a Dynastar MFree 108, ON3P Woodsman, J Hotshot, or Nordica Enforcer 104 Free
