First touring ski choice

I’m looking to get into ski touring and need some advice on which ski to start with. Picked up a cast freetour kit on a sweet deal with plans to start with resort touring and some low angle backcountry to get the feel for it. Deciding between ON3P woodsman 102 or Moment Deathwish 112 as they both have pivots already. Similar weight between the two, thinking it might come down to waist width, ski shape and personal preference but really not sure. Any help would be super appreciated! Bonus points for some skin recommendations.

So you already have the woodsmans and DW but you’re just deciding which ones to put cast on? I would go with woodsmans

I love my g3 skins but they are bulky in your pack, people seem to love pomoca

Probably a better choice for all conditions at that waist width. Thinking I’ll probably end up with a second ski kit or dedicated touring ski if things really take off for me. Thanks!
