Wwmd? Which ski for kingpins
Purpose ; resort and side country skiing .
Take alpine bindings off 179 lotus 120 spoon and add kingpin or leave and add kingpin to 175 black crows Corvus ? Corvus would get alpine binders off dps.

No not the the Corvus freebird but the standard ones which I think are heavier than the lotus

Put the kingpins on the ski that you like in pow and the alpine binding on the ski that you like for mixed resort conditions. That said, not too many people talk about the Lotus 120 being super fun on hardpack...

Going alpine binders on regular Corvus as opposed to Kingpins is also supported in this Blister review That's the route I'd choose
