Anyone have insight on using the Forma as a touring ski? Or maybe a 50/50 ski? It seems like it would be a super fun low-angle backcountry pow ski once resorts get tracked out.
My biggest questions are weight and versatility.
Weight: The Pescado is lighter and a similar shape. Are the Formas worth the extra grams in the backcountry?
Versatility: How are the Formas in steeper, techier, and firmer conditions? Is the edge hold good enough for a single-ski backcountry quiver?
All times are Eastern (-5)
