I'm almost positive this is a repose but I don't care because it's fun and I think about this stuff a lot. If you had an unlimited money supply, what 5 pairs of skis, from any 3 companies, with any bindings, would you buy? I would have:
-196 on3p pillowfights with sth 16s-deep powder, cat skiing, etc.
-187 4frnt hojis with plum guides-touring
-196 4frnt renegades with inserts for plum guides and s916s-big lines, goin fast, heli, short tours
-181 on3p jeronimos with sth 16s-park, non pow days
-178 line invaders with fks 155s-urban, dicking around, some park
Let's hear it newschoolers! What would you buy?

You would end up doing the same thing I did. After skiing the Magic J, and Billygoat back to back. You would realize the Magic J is a bitch ski, and sell it

Just looked up the Dynafit Beast 16...I knew of it last year from a Dynafit athlete I know but I just saw a photo. I'm pretty sure I won't ever be going back to normal 'alpine' binders after I get my hands on a set!

I could think of more quiver spaces than 5, whether my wallet would agree with that, I'm not sure.

Park Rails
Park Jumps
Daily Driver Twin
Daily Driver Flat Tail
Early/Late Season Daily Driver
Park
Urban
Rock Skis
Jib Pow
Directional Pow
Charging Fat
Charging Mid-Fat
Tree Ski
Tech Touring
Overnight Tech Touring
Early/Late Season Tech Touring
Burly Touring
With the Family/Girlfriend Ski
Fun/Mess Around Ski

Of course many of these categories double up. But there's all of the quiver spaces I could come up with of the top of my head.

Uh oh...really?

Then again, Radical FT12s are 600, Duke/Guardian/MFD are 400-500, and the Beast would pretty much be the last word on touring bindings for a little while. A DIN 16 tech binding that I can beat on and isn't super heavy? Maybe it is worth 1 g.

At least with inserts you can move it around to make it work in more places. I think I would run it on my Caylors, rock skis, and whatever daily driver I buy when my old VCTs finally shit the bed. Right now, I am using my Titan UL's with tech soles in my alpine bindings and I'm mildly worried the release characteristics are too skewed (although I've had success so far, it only takes 1 bad fall).

I'm thinking about titan ULs next year when I get my tech setup. Although I was going to switch out the tech soles for downhill soleblocks when I use my alpine set ups, is it a pain/tedious? Also how do you find them skiing inbounds runs? Because occasionally you have got family/friends who don't ski bc days.

So far, 4 days of tech soles in alpine binders has not resulted in any bad prereleasing or failure to release when needed. Additionaslly, 5 days of lift serve terrain with Dynafit Radicals have not proven troublesome. The Dynafits hold together very well and I have gradually ramped up my skiing with no negative effects. My only concern at this point is durability; whether or not they can hold up to the abuse of in bounds stuff (hence why the Beast 16 you showed would be sweet). But if you're only planning to use Radicals for a day or two then it would be fine.

As for the Titan sole blocks, the procedure seems simple enough, but the threads in the boot shell are plastic so I'm a little nervous about cross-threading them and ruining the shell. I don't want to swap soles unless I absolutely have to.

Big Mountain & Pow - 195 Armada AKJJ
