    Suggestions for a at 120+ underfoot touring ski

    I would love to here what people like in this realm.


    Currently have the Voile Chargers and the Moment Comi's. I love the long turn radius of the Comi's and consequently end up reaching for them well before the chargers are outgunned because it's just more fun. I'd love to find a comparably fun ski that doesn't have the same 10+ pound weight penalty.

    So far the 4FRNT Renegades seem like a good option but would want to here what else people like.

    Line Pescado is light enough to be used as powder touring skis or Atomic Bent Chetler 120

      I have Scrapper 124s in 190 cm w/ kingpins and it’s definitely my favorite sidecountry or deeep day setup (I’ve owned a variety of moments, praxis, DPS etc in the 120+ category). I think they’re 8.6-9 lbs. got the actual weight somewhere.

        Both great skis that I enjoy touring on, but sounds like OP prefers a long turning radius. 4FRNT Rens might be a good option.

            Love my Bent Chetler 120s. Stupid light for their size. I’m in Shifts because they’re a 50/50 ski for me, but if I wanted them as a dedicated tourer a set of ATKs or Kingpins would be in order.

              I have Rossignol super 7 RD 190cm, 30m radius, 120mm and light enough for touring. Good ski!

                I love Lotus 120s and tour a lot with them. Excel in super deep stuff but still are good to manage most conditions on your way to the powder. Long radius helps with traversing harder slopes (uphill). Very reliable ski!
                From what is available now I think the Völkl BMTS are great!

                  +1 for Lotus 120’s. Have spoons. Usually ski something smaller early season but by the time I get on them I forget how fun they are.

                      also have a pair with kingpins on em - they don't come out often, but they do well when they do

                          Beat me to it (mine were on sale but they weren't quite that cheap).

                              I have 182 drifter in this slot. Had 192 but pulled bindings and put on the 193 V8 at 119 underfoot. You can have the 192 drifter for shipping if you want
                              Two mounts but bases and edges are clean
                              I’m in Utah. I like voile.

                              I need to go to Utah.
                              Utah?
                              Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

                              So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
