i will be skiing probably 50% all mountain inbounds, and 50% accessible backcountry and sidecountry. lots of cliffs and natural jumps and jibs. wont really be sending anything larger than a 30 footer. may spend a couple laps in the park if i dont feel like bringing out the thalls. i would either be using tyrolia adrenaline touring bindings, or tyrolia attack 16s (non-touring)(i get the best deals on tyrolia).

well it seems like it will come down to you having to boot pack or skin for the terrain you want to ride.

which do you wanna do? you said you have park skis, so i don't see why a touring binding on the jeffreys would be a bad choice

Trekkers. They work fine. And that article about T Hall using them means they are officially cool now.

im more worried about the durability. like with the touring lock unhitch of become loose over time if im throwing tricks in the backcountry and hitting side jumps in bounds and hucking cliffs. i feel like they would be less safe

Trekkers clip into your binding for on the way up, then at the top you can take them out and have a regular alpine binding. I think this is the best option because there are no sacrifices on the downhill and they are cheapish. You could get MFD alltimes too, they are sick
