They definitely deserve a SSL 2.0 or ATK SLR Release or a sexy little binding like that. I really hope you put a lot of days on them and treat them right!
Sad or incredible? Swiss cheese is the national food around here.
That said, IMO NWSKIER is too slim for those 186's and should pass them on unmolested.
Yes sir. Got them delivered from supre, via shroom, at BBI last year. I told myself I wasn't going to mount them until I killed my yetis, but my yetis won't die, so I'm going to have to mount them. Definitely thinking I'm going to go with the SSL 2.0. Haven't decided if I'm putting those on plates yet or not. Also, considering ions again. I like those bindings and they just plain work for me. Either way, I intend to take good care of them.Quote:

What liners do you have in the Mtn Lab? I can't use the original ones and need new ones =(Quote:

and here's the group buy thread:

Ok I'll play and add pictures in when I get home.
Skis:
187 Blizzard Kabookie - bindings tbd
For when I need to keep up with fast skinners. Theses are OG Bonafides with out the metal. Any binding recommendation from mags would be appreciated. I'd like these to double as corn/volcano skis.
193 Blizzard Scouts with Kingpin 13s
Every day winter touring skis. I might try to replace these with 192 Zero G 108s again, but I tried that and came back to these. Scouts are metal less OG Cochise.
193 Volkl Shiros with Kingpin 13s
Powder touring/highway hiking skis. I probably should put a lighter binding on them but I like being able to move the Kingpin heel for either boot.
I have a pair of +10mm 194 Praxis Freerides coming that will get CAST plates, but those will for sidecountry, and primarily for the safety factor of skinning up to someone if I'm below them when they fall.
Boots -
26.5 Lange XT Freetour 130s with high volume Intuition Pro Tours (replacements for the RS 140 when they die)
26.5 Atomic Backland Carbons with low volume Intuition Pro Tours - such a nice boot just too short for my legs and don't work with Kingpins
26.5 Lange RS 140 with CAST toes - aka the perfect boot for everything and if you don't agree with me you are wrong
27.5 TLT6Ps that will get a high volume Intuition liner, either power wrap or Pro tour. I had a pair of 26.5s and loved them, but couldn't wear them below 10 degrees. I'm going to try the shell size bigger with the thick Intuition liner and see if they work.

Cham 97's with Axls. Don't get out much.
Carbon Convert with Vipecs. Really versatile. The Vipecs extend the fun range from multi day tours to lift serve.
Vector BC with Vipecs. Super fun. Still trustworthy in dicey situations.
The other three should go into the "Show us your chic skis" thread. That quiver of three does it pretty well for me.
187 Praxis Protest w/ Beast holes
187 GPO w/ Beast holes
190 Down Countdown 114 (1870g) w/ holes for ATK Raider 14
188 Salomon QST 106 w/ Kingpin
181 Down 104L w/ ATK Raider 14
178 Zero G 85 w/ ATK RT Race
161 Dynafit DNA w/ some light bindings in the future (found in a dumpster and they seem to be ok)
Salomon MTN Lab
Arcteryx Procline Carbon
I need to replace my quiver of one.
Forefoot is similar width, instep and ankle/heel are quite a bit roomier in the MTN Lab.Quote:

Similarly, I'm pretty set with my Maestrale RSs. I've been tempted to pickup lighter boots for long days (e.g. TLTs), but I think I'd probably defer to the Maestrales (especially if I pick up the most recent versions) more often than not.

Echo this sentiment, but with slightly different sticks.Quote:

TLT5s have been my go to boot. Recently picked up the Cochise for a song (i.e. way less than the brand new intuition PWs in them are worth). Will try them but they are aggressively sized for touring.

My touring quiver:
186 EHP
Vertical FT 12
Freetour 130
This thread is called show us your touring quiver, not tell us about it. All these posts without pictures are useless
F1's are a terrific boot. They walk as well as you'd expect, but ski startlingly well, significantly better, in my opinion, than the orange Maestrales.Quote:

My ski partner just retrieved those from the avie I was in last winter. I was hoping they would be usable. Sent a letter to Dynafit to inquire about warranty. That is a long shot. I really enjoyed that ski. Bought a pair of the Hannibals for that $350 STP deal thinking the Dynafits might of been damaged.Quote:

Just tell him they belong to a female relative of yours.
Well, "Tell us about that amazing three-way you had with Ms. Florida and her mom" is more akin to "tell us about the time you got 7,000 vertical feet in blower pow in the Mallory Couloir, stopped mid-line to piss (naked) ((GNAR pts)), then finished it off with 100 foot frontie whilst pounding a PBR" than "tell me what dynafits you have on yer Volkers".Quote:

Left to Right
194 Praxis Freerides +10mm CAST plates for P18s
Sidecountry touring - mounted for Lange RS 140
193 Volkl Shiro Marker Kingpin 13
187 Blizzard Kabookie Marker Kingpin 13
Aka the non-metal OG Bonafides
Both the Shiros and Kabookie are mounted at +1 for 297 bsl for the TLT6P, both Kingpin heels can be moved back to fit the Lange XT Freetours
I've tried the super light game with skis and bindings, and I couldn't get comfortable on them. I look for stability and trust with touring skis instead of being super light. I'm fine taking a 2-4 pound penalty leaving the parking lot, because I know I'll be fine no matter where we go.
Attachment 214594
Dynafit TLT6P size 27 with low volume Intuition ProTour liners, waiting on the stiff thick tongue to come in, I have really thin ankles
Lange XT Freetour 130s size 26.5 with high volume Intuition ProTour liners. Once I replaced the stock liner, these skied like a dream
Lange RS140 size 26.5 with CAST toes. Needless to say, I don't tour in these often. Sometimes I'm a little overly safety conscious and my sidecountry skis have CAST plates, and I carry the CAST toes and skis on pow days I case I need to get up hill to a buddy.
