Take a load off. Literally.

It's an ongoing trend. As ski technology improves, skis are getting lighter all while retaining the same power we look for in all-mountain skis. Aside from feeling more comfortable taking to and from your car at the resort, how do lighter all-mountain skis feel on snow?

For one, they keep your legs fresher throughout the day. Lighter skis usually carry lower swing weights, making them easier to flick around in tight spaces. Whether that's trees, bumps, steeps, or the groomers, lightweight all-mountain skis feel more lively and quick to respond.

They're also more versatile because you can use many of them in-bounds or for touring. Set them up with a hybrid style binding like a Salomon Shift or Marker Duke PT, and you've got a stellar hybrid set up that works well in bounds and out of bounds.

These are the lightest all-mountain skis around, ordered by weight per square centimeter. By what, you ask? We rank these skis by weight per square centimeter because the metric compares skis from different brands independent of length and width. A straight-shooting list of skis ranked by scale weight in grams is useful, but it skews the data toward narrower and shorter models. Yes, we are proud to be ski nerds.
