Replying to First touring setup
Yo NS whatsup,
Im thinking about getting into touring and want to get my first setup.
A little background: 6'4 225 lbs, athletic, ski mainly in the austrian alps.
Have and like following skis: K2 Shreditor 92 184, On3p Kartel 98 186, Line SFB 190 mit Baron, Moment Wildcat 190(new)
Thinking about something 100-110 mounted with Shift or Tecton but that can hold up in pretty much any condition, doesnt suck in powder but will be alright if the snow is not perfect. On really shitty days i will probably not tour but spent my time in the park.
Skis I have thought about:
4frnt Raven (Blister Review sound perfect, though it is not the lightest)
Moment Bibby Tour 108 (On the paper this one sounds awesome, no reviews though, maybe a touch too much tail rocker?)
Black Crows Corvus/Navis Freebird
Black Diamond Helio 105
And then there is the length question: Being new to touring i dont know if a 190 ski isnt too much of hustle? Or will I regret going shorter?
Any comments highly appreciated,
Cheers!
