    Touring gear

    I have now decided to sell my kung fujases to get more into touring and doing some real skiing. So, I was wondering if any of you could recommend any touring gear, i'm especially concerned about what bindings to get. I'm a small guy, 5'6 150 lbs. Is marker baron a good bet? For skis i was thinking EP pros, but i think they might be a bit soft, cause im using my skis for kiting too. If anyone can think of a light, relatively stiff, wide, poppy fun ski with two tips it would be great.

    333 skis are a good bet, they can make you a custom shape for cheap.

    You're trolling right?

    On the off chance you're looking for real advice... Barons are good for going just beyond the resort ropes, but aren't really much of a touring binder. Dynafit, Freeride, Naxo - see that little oval with the word search in it? Fucking use it. And twin tips suck balls for touring.
