Alpine boots with touring setup

**CaptainDouche** · 11-05-2011, 04:04 PM

I live in NC and in between resort days at cataluchie, I want to hit the sweet backcountry. ONly issue is that I don't have a setup and don't want to spend any extra money than I have to. So if I buy some of those touring bindings from one of you guys, I can use my regular boots without any issues, right?

If not, what about those bindings that are free in the back? I'm not sure if my boots will work with those though because they don't bend very well, lol.

Just a friendly word of advice there friend. I would probably post this sort of inquiry in the "Tech Talk" forum before the wolves start to feed.
P.S- please make sure you have the appropriate avalanche safety gear before you head out in the the backcountry. Shoevel, probe, beacon and most importantly, knowledge!
That is all.

No, that's going to be my next question. I'm gonna need it and bros to ski with. I'm kind of a n00b, so if you don't mind me tagging along, I'll drive!!! I have a corolla that can fit 4 or 5 if you don't mind squeezing in the back.
