This. I wouldn’t go as far as saying weight plays no part in my selection process, but I agree that downhill performance is vastly more important. The ski industry can fill the ether with all the marketing b.s.they want about their fancy materials, but there is invariably a point of diminishing returns when it comes to ski weight. As in the more we diminish the weight if the ski, the poorer the downhill performance. I’ve always felt the magic nimber wad in the 1700 gram per ski area. Below that and you better be skiing derp, untracked pow or your going to be getting tossed around.
Yeah, and there’s a fine line between « my technique can overcome the limitations of a light ski » and skiing like an old lady. Just sayin’
