I need some suggestions on where to get a touring bindings mounted. Any suggestions? I know touring rigs are a little bit of a different beast so any recommendations would be appreciated. I also know Buckmans takes forever but if they do it well then it might be worth it. I’d suggest just going to Buckmans or calling Blue to see if they can.

I'm looking to replace my touring setup (see photo above) with something much lighter, but I'm being very slow on actually pulling the trigger and buying anything. Need new boots, too. Quote

Johnny Law Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 If anyone is looking for touring setups, I have a bunch of stuff I'd part with cheap. 188 ski logik bombsquads skied maybe twice with the native graphic with twice used tyrolia adrenaline 16's. 27.5 technica concise pro light tech fitting boots used once. 2 Quote

I'm slightly curious about the boots, but haven't tried anything from tecnica on in years and i dunno if i'm gonna enough to rock the bright orange ski instructor's choice boot. Quote

I don't but my cousin has some laying around in his basement as he pretty much quit skiing. I'll ask him about them. They are the green and black ones, your welcome to try them out at blue any time. They don't fit my feet and it looks like I'm moving soon so and i gotta pair down my gear. Quote

My 110s met their demise yesterday at frost so the quiver overhaul is getting out into motion sooner than expected. Would love to get a set of cast plates with pivots for my low/mid 100 waist ski that replaces the 110s instead of the guardians I currently have.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Popular Post AtomicSkier Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted March 28, 2020 Well, I'm working on joining the touring crew. Deals have too good to pass up. Picked up some Lange XT Free 130 LVs which are considerably lighter than my RS130s, have a tour mode (more cuff movement), and have tech inserts. Also, picked up Atomic (Salomon) Shift bindings which are a tech pin binding on the way up, and a true alpine toe/heel on the way down. They're going to be mounted on some Kastle FX96HPs in 180cm. It's not the lightest setup in the world, but all 3 pieces are compromises towards increase downhill performance. It will certainly be the lightest ski/binding/boot combo by far in my quiver. I'll get some skins sometime between now and next year. Also need to get them mounted. 10 Quote
Barb Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 This is awesome! I feel like there is a learning curve, and I am definitely still learning. But it’s a great way to extend your season and get away from the crowds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
