I love my standard layup Bibby pros in just about all conditions I'd imagine the tour is just a bit less adept for resort skiing but way better uphill

I have the praxis backcountry in the Ultra light core with kingpins on them. I like them a lot. Float really good in the soft stuff and are super light. Didn't get the most days on them unfortunately though so I don't have experience on super variable stuff.


Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Yah I was reading the blister review and it was fairly good but said it had no where near the crud bustin ability of the bibby

Black Ops mounted with Adrenalines would be quite the heavy setup...

Given that your going uphill on Adrenalins weight obviously isn't a huge factor. I'd snag a pair of the regular Bibbys and call it a day. Yeah its a lil heavier than the tour version, but you've got a heavy binding that doesn't walk super efficiently anyway so it's not like that's a deal breaker. Get the Bibbys and rip anything you want as fast as you want. If it's just for slack country anyway than that's perfect.
