Replying to One ski quiver - Touring and Pow
Hey y’all, I’ve recently been strongly considering getting a pair of touring skis and setting them up for next winter, but I am honestly super new to backcountry stuff in general and these would be my first non-park skis I own so I want to really find the best pair for myself so I don’t regret dropping well over a grand on skis. For reference I will be living in Alberta so I have access to a ton of terrain etc close by, and because of this I want skis that are primarily for chasing powder and hitting cliffs etc, so weight is not the most important factor for me. I am currently looking into the armada whitewalkers set up with a CAST system so they can be used both on resort and on touring days without worrying about durability issues etc. I’m just wondering if anyone has any kind of ideas for me or other suggestions as I don’t really know that much about backcountry set ups but would like to kind of figure that out over the summer so I can set myself up for a fun season.
disclaimer because there’s always 10+ comments about it: I will be doing my Avy courses and will have brand new safety gear (beacon etc) before I even sniff the backcountry
