Can you do the conversion to the proper system for measuring weights for us? What size skis?










































It's 5811.2g minus ~2000g for bindings and you end up with 1906g per ski, neither light nor heavy in a medium length, heavy for a 160 light for a 190. you make the call. Also how much do spx 12s actually weigh? I know a lot of binding weights but not that one.

The bindings weigh 2230g according to looks site, and my above calculation was based on 12.8lbs not 12.5lbs so...5675-2230 is 3445/2 gives me 1722.5g each so the answer is no, your skis aren't heavy. Your bindings are a teeny bit heavy.

bolakedo you think it will matter?


not at all. Everything out there is pretty comparable. You have park skis with general bindings, weight should not be a factor. Don't worry you'll still be able to spin.
