Replying to Touring Setup Suggestions
Okay, so with the resort closures, I (as I am sure many of you are) will be getting more heavily into touring.
I have my avy gear and an avy1 cert class coming up, and some light backcountry/sidecountry experience (mostly strapping to my back and boot-packing or using snowshoes) with friends who are certified; but I am looking to get a dedicated setup (or at least start on one).
I currently ride Moment Wildcats and Jskis Masterblasters depending on the conditions. 5'9" 145lbs, between advanced and expert skier. Ride mostly big mountain. EDIT: forgot to mention I ride primarily in the Sierras.
My questions:
Should I just get some touring bindings and quiver killers and stick them on the Wildcats (and if so, what bindings?)
Or
Should I get a full touring setup?
Or
Should I go some combo of the two (such as new boots and bindings but same skis, etc)?
If I do end up going the full setup (or some combo), what are some good setups based on the skis I ride, etc?
I was thinking of the Wildcat 108 tours, but would love to hear other suggestions if anyone has them.
Same goes for boots, bindings, etc
