This will be my first touring setup and I was looking for some advice. At this point it looks like i might get the rossignol steeze or the line prophet 100 as the ski. Keep in mind that I will use this ski in resort as well.
a.) What type of AT binding should I get? (i ride a din of 10 currently)
(I was thinking the Duke Marker or Fristichi Freeride plus)
b.) What type of skins should I get?
(no ideas at this point)
c.) Anything else I'm forgetting?
Thanks for the help!

Hey d-bag - here's something for you to think about: maybe (just maybe) not everybody here has their little panties in a wad 24/7 and flies into a rage whenever somebody disagrees with them. Maybe these same mags don't take this place uber-seriously. Maybe this even includes the vast majority of the people who post here as opposed to you and like 20 other thin-skinned douchebags. Just something to think about. -JER

i own both, and i would go with the freeride over the duke. I've never had any problem with their performance and i now have over 400 days on mine. they are FAR superior to the dukes on the uphill.
my favorite skin has been the backcountry ascension. i'm currently on the glidelite, but have only been out on them once. they worked.powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.
