Park/Touring SetUp??

you would need to get new bindings regardless. Id recommend a frame binding like the marker duke or baron. Blends might work for what you are doing but if you are looking for a new set up for the on3p, you could get a frame binding and something a little lighter, less freestyle based than the on3p, because you could keep ur set-up now for park

Doesn't Leo Taillefer ski Blends with tech bindings as his all mountain/pow ski?

How serious do you want to get about being in the bc? I found out Girary Dadali makes these badass adaptors for your regular setup so you can use your resort setup anywhere. Obviously you'll be dealing with more weight but you get the safety/confidence of using your regular set up which is what Im stoked about. Check em out https://www.daymakertouring.com/

Could you put a frame binding on some blends, get a pair of skins and skin up in full tilts?
yes totally possible.
It will be a heavy, uphill slog also your heel will most likely blister on long hikes (4+ hours).
If you think you will be doing shorter trips it could be easier manager.

Also so if your just dipping your toe consider daymakers on your blends or whatever your next skis are.
Honestly I think this would be your best option. I haven’t tried myself but every person who has used them (or at least claimed too) has liked them.

Hey those look tight, I want to have an all mtn setup (one ski quiver for doing it all) and I think those adapters fit the requirements. Thanks homie!!!

Is there a budget in mind?

You could do a the Cast system on CT 2.0s or something, the skis will probably snap at some point but I hear Factions warranty department is very good. There are plenty of other lightish ~100mm waist freestyle skis that can park and tour as well.

dang, thats actually a super cool product. Looks like a customizable shift binding more or less. I like it for the touring aspect but I feel like you could easily tear the toe out of that system when you put your alpines back on.

I’ve ridden kingpins mounted on JJ Zeros in just about every condition. Aside from ski functionality, I’m not so sure I trust them for the sake of my knees, and someone who does more resort days would really benefit from the CAST system. I’ve got some fks 180’s that I think I’m gonna put on a pair of BDogs with cast.

It also specifically only works with the pivot 18s only. I was looking into this but realized i only had pivot 14s

You may also want to look into the shift binding, this is imo the best setup if you want to do it all. No need to switch the toe piece, no need to add some bulky setup on top of your bindings for the climb. Just one binding that does it all.

Cast was way cool when it came out a few years ago, but I think the shift delivers a better experience now.
Daymakers are nothing new, Alpine Trekker and the likes have been around forever, have tried that type of adapter in the past and it's definitely not ideal on the way up.

I'm sure within the next few years all the binding manufacturers out there will add a binding like the shift to their lineup. Sure the shift is only a DIN 13, so that might be the downside depending on your weight and how hard you charge. But people like CB use it and pretty much the entire Salomon/Atomic BC team and those guys charge pretty damn hard.

Whole new setup for sure.

Sounds like a decent set up. I went for a Faction CT4, baron 13, Technica Cochise and G3 alpinists and that setup is amazing for deep powder/ huge hucks/BC booters. The draw back is the laps must be short, or my legs burn out. Its definitely not a park setup either
