I just purchased a pair of Anthony B New Lifes and was wondering if they would perform well as a touring ski, or if they are too thick. They are 122 underfoot but are not too heavy. Also, what touring bindings do you recommend? I'm totally new to the backcountry scene I could use some help.

You should be fine on them for touring. Yes there are better touring skis out there but youll be ok I think.
For bindings I would say go with either the Marker Duke EPF or Salomon Guardian.

theyre not the best obviously but they'll work for sure. and youll be glad you have them on the way down.

They will tour fine the weight and the height of the tail wouldn't make them ideal, but I assume your more about the descent rather than the ascent, in which case you shouldn't be too bothered. I spent all of last season day touring on my caylors (191) and I didn't feel to bad about the ascent.
