I can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned yet.

look to what your partners (would-be) have as far as gear.
You don't necessarily want to be too out of step with them in terms of weight.
I'd recommend some pin binding (I use brakes), and a ski in the 1800 g range and wall to wall skins...
some adjustable poles are nice for sidehilling/skinning.Aggressive in my own mind

This is about the best touring conversation we have had in a lot time. It is great to have choices. I use a Maelestrale/ION/Quixote combo. As others have said, in Colorado, it is a lot of low angle powder skiing. If you have friends you are planning on touring with, see what they use. Similar gear leads to similar objectives.

Light skis can take some getting used to. They don't feel the same, especially with light bindings. But good ones are more stable than they feel. Don't dismiss this pair too quickly because they feel different- try to focus on what they're capable of rather than the sensation.
On the other, hand some people never get on with light gear.

Skied my Line Sakana's with ATK R 12's/ heel spacers, Lange free tour 130's all day inside the area. They carved everything and floated through the cut-up leftovers like my alpine set-up. Sakana's go around 1750 gm (174 cm) so I'm trading off some weight but close to what an alpine rig feels like. Liner swap for the Lange's made them 2 oz. lighter than my ZGTP / Intuition tour. Can't wait to set them free in some fresh and not too heavy for dedicated tour days. The Mythic 97's (my lighter rig) although around 300 gm lighter a ski, wouldn't be close to how good the Sakana ski's (in variable conditions) so a few hundred grams in the right place is an advantage.
