100mm+ lightweight touring setup

Now, the world don't ski to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
And man may tour, so he'll need some skis.
But asking what is best is just gums flapping in the breeze.

Cuz we got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to tour the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of theory
Their brand, mount, binders, and weight set up is da best.
It don't matter if you prefer forward or behind of the line. So what?
They'll mount theirs, you'll have yours, and I'll stick with mine.
And together we'll tour fine!

'Cuz it takes Diff'rent Strokes to tour the world,
Yes it does.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to tour the world.

Those Kitten Factories are promising. Other than never riding any of their skis they seem kinda right in my sweet spot. Might try to get my hands on a demo pair to test. Thanks.

I think one of the guys posts here, or used to post here, or something, maybe the old thread is searchable and they can be pm'd? They do free demos in SLC; if you make it to BBIUT I'm happy to help set it up for you. I think snowaddict91 demoed a pair of their skis at the bird a couple years back ago and said they ripped, that's all I recall hearing about them though. They've been on my list of skis to demo for a little while, just forgot last year, and now I have so many touring skis I'm not sure I need to tempt myself lol
