What would your touring setup consist of?

[rod9301]

Kapow - I'm buying a pair of bmt 122's and have been debating tectons vs a pin binding. Never skied a tecton/shift/kingpin, used to touring on pin binders -interested to hear why you have one with each. I love skiing drops, cliffs, minigolf on alpine binders, but just can't feel it on pins. Want to do more of that on my pow rig. Also want to be able to put in 5-8k days for fun on the pow skis without being spent....My approach is to go with an alpine heel pin binder like tecton and get in better shape rather than bitch about 200g underfoot. Sound about right?

As for the sticks?

Or do we only get to choose one?

If I have to pick one boot... Atomic Hawx 130 XTD

I’m not picking one ski and binding. Winter is too different from spring and summer for me.

Spring/Summer:
184cm Faction Prime 2.0 and BD Helio 110s with custom high riser and Pomoca Climb Pro skins

Colorado Winter (lots of easy-access sidecountry):
Vipecs on 186cm Kusala Pow (extra stiff pure carbons) and Pomoca Free Pro skins

Euro Winter (more skinning than in CO):
Vipecs on 190cm DPS Lotus 120 Pures and Pomoca Free Pro skins

Vipecs because cliffs and other aggressiveness. Otherwise I’d go with ATK Trofeo 10s with custom high risers.

Custom high risers:

Custom high risers:

Those modded split board risers, or DIY? Either way, rad.

But, hey, discussions re a single touring setup are kinda silly cuz mid-winter touring gear and spring/summer touring/skimo gear are very different birds.

Oh please, you can absolutely have one setup to do it all. It might be nice to have a quiver of touring options, but it is in no way, shape or form necessary.

Signed,

The guy who skis the same exact touring setup on hut trips, after work laps at Hyak, and on volcanoes in the spring/summer.

Boot: La Sportiva Spectre 2.0
Binding: G3 Ion
Ski: 182 Praxis Skinny Quixote (108 underfoot)
Skins: BD Ascension Nylon

Yeah, sure, and in theory you can walk around Green Lake, climb Mt. Rainier and jog the Half Ass at West Tiger Mountain in bowling shoes.

Kind of a wierd question for many of us who have multiple setups already, I count 7 that will tour and I can't buy the Vertical anymore good thing I still have 3 pair

DIY. Modeled after splitboard risers. Ti rod from Amazon with a bench vise and a butane torch. Hacksaw, dremel tool and a cutting board from Walmart. Gonna try 3d printing sometime in the future.
