Those weights from Andy maybe correct, but doesn't Renoun claim it is their lightest ski?
The Endurance 98 in 184 cm weighs 1750 grams. If the Citidel weighs 1950 grams in 185cm length, it is not their lightest ski by a long shot. Either there is some "spin" in their marketing statements, or they didn't give Andy the correct weights.To quote Renoun: " Full Carbon Construction makes the Citadel the lightest ski in our family". It is not a heavy ski, and lines up well with the DPS Alchemist skis. The Alchemist construction actually added about 150 grams to the ski, compared to the "Pure" construction, but it made a huge difference in the damping of the ski.
The HDT material maybe heavy (if similar weight to water) and you could "spin" things as a very light ski construction due to carbon, The complete package is light for an alpine ski, but I would say its fairly heavy for a "touring ski". I would be much more impressed if it weighed around 1700 grams and skis like a "big mtn" ski. The Endurance is almost there, so I am surprised the carbon ski is so much heavier.
