Thinking of getting a touring package.
JJ UL + Marker PT 16?

I want it to be able to handle alot of abuse on the way down.
Would this be a decent setup?

Yeah I mean it would be sick but if that’s your only set up for touring idk. Where will u be riding them mostly? Honestly unless u aren’t touring to insanely deep spots every day, you would be much better off on something like the armada tracer 98 or 108 at max. A 116 would kinda be a pain in the ass to tour on as they are super wide and would suck on anything but wide tracks with lots of snow.

Well Ive only ever used wide skis 110+
Used the regular armada JJ as a one ski quiver for 6 years++
Powder, Ice, crud, worked great:)

Looking for a decently wide ski, light, soft, freestyle shape, lots of rocker.

But thnx for your input:D
