Does anyone happen to either know or know how to work out the weight of a ski (without bindings)? [and no I'm not unscrewing the binding and weighing them!!]
My wife owns said ski for off piste work, and after chatting to our guide we are thinking of something a bit wider and a bit longer for her.
Last time she demo'd she hated heavy male skis, but liked these, so I am keen to get something of comparable weight.
She has the 168cm version, 88mm underfoot.
stats I can find are 124/88/112 and an 18m radius.
Cheers,
Greg

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Having spent the last fortnight trying to find out the exact weight of a Fischer ski and failing I'd go with what rjs said if you're able to.

kitenski, if you're looking for 'light for the size' check out DOWN skis. Ski well, put together well, priced well (keep an eye out for their summer pre-sale). Depending on tastes, something like the CD 4 or 6 might be of interest.

clarky999, interesting, never heard of them...
off for a google
and yes my wife 100% prefers light womens skis, she hefted some male off piste skis in the shop and declared they are way to heavy!
