    WTB Lightweight Touring Setup 95-105mm and 180-190cm

    It's time for the quiver to grow! This past weekend while on an all-day tour I reached the conclusion my Cochise/Duke setup was yes, bombproof, but just too much to drag uphill for this upcoming spring season in the Sierras.

    This next setup would be backcountry-only, and most skied in the spring. I'm looking for either a complete setup (< 10lbs, 330bsl) or skis/bindings separately. Here are some more thoughts....

    Skis:
    - < 8 lbs
    - 95-105mm waist. I will go slightly outside of this range if the ski fits (i.e. I'll take those 0G 108 off your hands, if you insist)
    - 180-190cm length
    - Carbon/metal required. Will be skiing a lot of variable snow and spring conditions. I'm 195lbs, 6'3", and an aggressive skier. Need something that inspires confidence and won't deflect.
    - Some examples I think fit the bill include Volkl BMT 94, Blizzard 0G 95/108, Armada Kufo 103

    Bindings:
    - Min 12 DIN
    - Ion, Radical, etc.
    - Would consider Kingpin, Beast

    I'm all ears for offers and/or advice!

    192 DPS Wailer 99. Pure 3 construction ticks all of your boxes- lightweight carbon construction with metal weighted tips for damping. In great condition at a great price for $350.

    Edit to add that they are currently mounted with inserts with Beast 14 for ~316bsl at +0.5. I would suggest buying a pair from Spyderjon for $285 shipped, but could include for convenience. I also have skins cut for these skis.

    Gah - I was just about to put up a light touring setup for sale that are next to new that fit your requirements almost exactly... except the highlighted. Black Diamond Drift 186 (138/100/123 and 7 lb 10 oz), mounted with radical FT's for a 28.5 Cochise PL shell (which IIRC is exactly 330mm BSL) , with BD mohair mix skins. Sounds like they're softer than you want, but let me know if interested anyway.

    sethschmautz's DPS Wailer 99 Pure 3 with Beast 14's. I did the math and they weigh HALF as much as my Cochise/Duke setup. I'm excited to ski them (obviously!).
