11 Kg! Really :shock: No wonder my hand was aching carrying my skis up the gondola steps - note to self - must devise fitness exercise for hand strength for next year :lol:

That makes a total weight for skis and boots of 16 Kg which is 35lbs, or 2 1/2 stone. Wow. No wonder there's a section in my 'get fit to ski' book on weight lifting.

That weight seems quite exceptional. By comparison my Movement Black Roses, at 165cm with Dynastar PX12 bindings, come in at 5.3 kg. Which is a bit more manageable.
