Replying to Worth it to get Marker Dukes for occasional touring?
I live in NY and have never ski toured. However, I hike a lot and snowshoe when conditions allow. I've been interested in Ski Touring for years. So my question is, are the Marker Duke's good enough for 95% skiing and maybe 5% touring. There are a few trails around me in the Catskills that I would like to Tour up when conditions allow in the future. I like hiking and the workout so much that I would tour up at a ski hill as well for the first run or two of the day too. So, would I get away with skiing hard with the Marker Dukes and maybe touring a few times a year?
