Some ski weights...
Got a scale today that is, presumably, accurate to within 0.2 pounds. I thought I'd play around and weigh the skis at hand. Various questions about ski weights have been posted over the time I've been here, so I figured this might help someone out.
I figured the scale might not be accurate in an absolute sense, but it should be OK on a relative basis; therefore, I first weighed myself, then weighed myself with the bindings (I had extra unmounted bindings), and finally weighed myself with the bindings + skis.
Bindings only:
- 2.6# - Dynafit Comforts w/ brakes
- 4.6# - Medium Fritschis w/ brakes (Freeride / Freeride Plus)
- 4.2# - Salomon 997 Drivers w/ brakes
Skis only:
- 5.4# - Dynafit D712 (170cm)
- 8.2# - Volkl Explosiv (Buddha 03-04 180cm)
- 8.2# - Salomon Pocket Rocket (185cm)
- 9.2# - Volkl G40 Pro (190cm)
- 9.2# - Volkl Gotamas ('05-06 190cm)
- 9.4# - K2 Seth Vicious ('05-06 179cm)
- 11.8# - Volant Spatulas (186cm)
Skis + bindings:
- 15.4# - Volkl Explosiv (Wizard 190cm) + 977 Equipe (I didn't have an unmounted pair of 977 Equipes to weigh) [davep's measurement, below, of 957 Equipes @ 5.5# means these Wizards would be 9.9#]
boots:
- 6.1# - Dynafit TLT4Pro (27) w/ Dynafit thermo liners
- 7.6# - Red/red Scarpa Denalis (UK8/8.5) w/ lightweight Intuition thermo liners (*NOT* XTs or TTs)
- 7.6# - '05-'06 Garmont MegaRides (26) w/ beefier Intuitions + Raichle tongues + booster straps

also, couloir's methodology (taking the ski weight then dividing by length to get a weight per 100cm) is useful for comparison, but it does result in some problems.
i'll try to weigh the boots i have on-hand later today, but i don't have any stock liners.

i measured these a while back but unless something fell off it should still be the same.
179’s mounted w/ comforts --- 9lbs 7oz
188 bro’s mounted w/ classics – 10lbs 11.5 oz
188 bro’s w/ 914’s – 13lbs 15oz
***no brakes on either of the dynafits.

APD: What year and stiffness are the Bros (apparently the weights vary)?
Good info! Thanks for posting.

the classics are on the stiffs from first year production and the 914's are on stiffs from 05-06. they are the ones i attempted to speed along the decambering process.
the 179's are stiffs as well but i'm told they will be the softs of next year.
i weighed all my bc gear last year and can't seem to find all the info. i had lots of skis, ropes and boots. i wish i knew where the info was. here are the ones i found on my computer:
60m 7.5mm mammut rope – 5lbs 6oz
105’ 6mm acc cord – 1lb 15oz
20m 8mm beal rope – 1lb 10oz
BD shirk axe – 1lb 8oz
Ridge rest sleeping pad (reg) – 1lb 1oz
BD Sabertooth crampon 2lbs 10oz

stiffs. i have quite a few reviews floating around but in short, they do everything quite well. i get out on the big name skis at the resorts during the demo season but i always prefer my bros. besides, i haven't found anything better that i've wanted to bring in the bc with me yet. it's hard to find a lite weight to quality ski that floats in the soft and holds an edge on icy steeps.

Seriously...good info. I still think their method can cause some problems when extrapolating the weight to a size other than the exact one they measured, but it's the best effort I've ever seen at coming up with an apples-to-apples comparison.

Just did a few more comparisons:
Scarpa Denalis (UK8/8.5) w/ lightweight Intuition thermo liners: 7.6#
Garmont MegaRides (26) w/ beefier Intuitions + Raichel tongues + booster straps: 7.6#
Dynafit TLT4Pro (27) w/ Dynafit thermo liners: 6.1#
997 Drivers w/ all hardware & brakes: 4.2#
I'll edit the first post to add this info.Last edited by upallnight; 07-31-2006 at 09:05 PM.

UAN, you have two different weights for the 997 bindings. Does the 3.8 weight not include the brakes?
997 Drivers w/ all hardware: 3.8#
4.2# - Salomon 997 Drivers w/ brakesLast edited by manderson; 07-31-2006 at 08:28 PM.

Maybe someone can cross paste those posts into one thread for a semi-sticky.
Cause this shit is gonna get asked a thousand times here soon...
It was the loss of info like this that got everyone so pissed when powmag's Danieldude fucked things up.

yeah..i'm hoping we can get it all together, a la marshal's recommended skis posts.
we need to get some standardization about methods that folks use...and weighing w/o bindings as best as can be done.

UAN-
I'm glad you're educating yourself, since you've had such a problem gauging the weight of things in the past. Good Work!!
