I believe im goin with the Trouble Makers (old school graphic) because of the reinforced edges, Addict Pro because they also have really reinforced edges and are sick, or The Dumonts again.

I really don't need new skis, but if I get the urge to impulse shop, I might get the Hellbents or the Seths in a 189

I think a Pair of 186 big troubles would be a good touring ski, they are not that heavy, and can ski everything.

I was thinking more along the lines of B4's or Sugar Daddies.  However, if I decide my Endorphins are enough boot to drive a stiffer ski I'd want Squads or I'd mount up my beat up LP's with my Naxos and get another pair for resort skiing.

maybe see if you can find some heli daddies.  Shoot a PM to mntlion on TGR.  They are just sugar daddies with a flat tail, so just easier for skins.  Those skis (sugars as well) are great touring skis due to their weight!

Also, if you want something light and stiff for touring....you know you could always just talk with me!  Can incorporate less fiberglass and more carbon.  Super light, very stiff, very snappy.

I haven't thought about bindings really. I mean we don't really know the specs of the new anthems for sure. Does anyone know how they handle out of the park and how they handle for stopping bigger hits?

I'd love to have 08 Bacons and Hellbents, but I'd have to justify having two fatties in my mind somehow.

 I skied on Pistols, and swore I would never ski anything under 90 underfoot again. Then I got maden's, now I will never ski anything under 100 underfoot again, and my park skis seem MINI. Next year I am getting some ON3P fatty jibs, being 115 underfoot, and then hopefully some hellbents. 

Trust me, you don't need to justify it any more than the fact that it will be sick. Plus, Pollard would agree that it's a good idea
