Bought a pair of surface one lifes last year for a few week long trip to Jackson. Just found out I will be moving to Alta in december for the whole winter and want to get a touring set up. Anybody ever tour with One lifes? It would be a lot cheaper to just switch out my bindings for some touring bindings or SI&A system rather than buy an entire new setup.

It can be done for sure. The only time it would be challenging is kick turns on steep terrain...Get the new Duke EPF's. great binding for inbounds and bc riding.

Just curious. Why suggest MFD over SI&A

I didn't think SI &A had come out yet. But it would be better than than the mfd plates because of weight

Touring with One Lifes might be difficult because of their immense amount of tail rocker.

they slip around a little there's not much surface area to catch the snow unless you're touring in pow and breaking trail :)
