Hi, looking to buys a touring set up for more dedicated tours. So I guess something around 100 waist with a tech binding ( most likely will be kingping 13). Anyoen have suggestions on skis? Kind of want something more free ride oriented that I can charge hard and ideally do a couple tricks on as well

If you're going with kingpins I'm assuming you don't want something super light. First ski that pops in my mind for you is the bentchetler 100. Checkout Blister's buyer's guide for the 50/50 resort/BC ski and the BC touring ski section: https://blisterreview.com/winter-buyers-guide.

I would recommend the armada tracer 98. It’s a light ski but it has a big tip so it will hold its own in the backcountry

Anyone have experience on Black Diamond Helio 105 or 95?

Line sakana with shifts or king pins would be sweet. Moderately light set up but still solid.

Never ridden black crows but hear super good things about them- those with a pair of Salomon shifts would be fire imo.

Anything from the Moment Tour lineup and a SHIFT. King Pin may be fine but there's been so many recalls and issues I don't trust them at all.
