Replying to I need help

Hey NS,

This might be a long read but I really need your opinion. To give you a little context, I live on the east coast, I mostly ski ice and shitty conditions. I love all kinds of skiing but mostly park/all mountain and I like to ski fast. I love playful skis. I rarely have the chance to ski real powder where I live but I take usually trips once or twice a year where snow is deep.

My quiver is all twin tip park skis and my widest skis are 101mm ON3P Jeronimos. They do fine when snow gets a little deep but I always wanted a dedicated pair of real powder skis, and on top of that I would like to get a dedicated touring set up too. I have never been touring before and have zero experience.

I kinda fell in love with the Armada ARG UL because they are huge and the reverse rocker. I can get them for a very good deal and they would be the best powder skis ever, but also I would barely use them.

Do you think I should buy them even if I just use them less than 10 days a year? I was thinking of putting a cast touring system on the ARG at first, but they are so big/heavy I don’t think they would be a good touring option so I will probably get a lighter touring set up as well and not as wide so it can handle bad conditions.

Do you think I should install a set of cast bindings on the ARG anyway just in case I wanna tour them in deep powder or is it not worth it?

Should I consider a different ski/set up? I’m open to all ideas.

Thank you for your help!
