posted in gear talk, but did not get any feedback...

looking to step into a new setup this season, having some trouble deciding on some gear.

deciding between: moment meridian, on3p jeffrey 108, icelantic nomad 105 lite.

ski about 75% resort and 25% touring access BC.
all mountain freeride type riding in AK, occasional park laps. like being able to take off/land switch.

leaning toward the route of regular alpine bindings/boots with conversion system (daymakers, cast, etc) for touring days.
have also considered the salomon shift or marker duke PT route.

mostly looking to be able to ski in and out of bounds on the same setup.

just looking for feedback. any and all tips, information, recommendations are appreciated.

I wouldn’t recommend buying a first generation “innovative” binding, so would stay away from the duke pt this year, although it would seem like your ideal binding. Most ppl like their shifts I think, but I dunno how they hold up when skiing park hard on them. Frame bindings are kind of a shit design for longer hikes imo, but an option if you’re not gonna hike that much.
