Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Looking for advice on touring gear ie which skis and bindings, won't be touring all week but would like to do it as and when a day here and there, more interested in the downhill than walking all day, all advice welcome

skion, if you're not a lard-arse or overgrown in some other way, consider Crusairs & Dynafits. It's everything you really need for piste, variable snow, powder & touring. Safe as houses.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

moffatross, What about diamir fritschi freeride pro touring ski bindings, are these any good?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

skion, I'm same height / weight & have the older black top sheet Crusair which states 166 cm on the ski. In real life though, they physically are longer than my 168 cm K2 Apache Recons and 167 cm Dynastar Legend 88's were.
I did a little review here ... http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=76110 ... and have since used them for another 20 days or so in Verbier & Scotland & will be taking them Arlberg-bound in a couple of weeks time. They really are a do-it-all ski and if you can get a deal on them somewhere / somehow, they needn't cost carbon ski money ... I see there're some new 2012 with white top sheets for £410 on ebay.
Re Fritschi bindings, changed to Dynafit and never looked back. They feel so much better connected than my Fritschi Freeride +'s ever did but can't speak for their new binding. I also have some Marker touring bindings & the Crusairs are fitted with quiver killers so can swap them over if I feel the urge but Dynafits are doing just fine.

moffatross, Great advice and info, crusairs sound great, not sure about bindings though, never used Dynafit so a bit unsure,
Thanks again
