AT Setup

[tyfattori]

OP - I just pulled some large barons if your bsl will work. Older model in good shape with 130 brakes. Might have some smaller brakes somewhere too. Shoot me a pm if you're interested. I'll let them go cheap.

I'm going to send you a PM now.

the time to buy used stuff is right NOW I seen a really nice set of lotus 120 for 150$ less than I would have payed 6 months ago ... but I already have 2 pair

and on that note I advise you to buy those lotus 120's,

like Ross sez ... slarve not carve !

Did they come with any bindings?

Useful actionable advice from TGR and someone who's taking the advice? Nice to see

Thanks to everybody for the help. It'll help me save some money and put it towards my Alaska fund anyways so that helps me a lot. Relocating within the next 2 years hopefully before my 29th birthday, that's the goal at least.

I just want to say that it is refreshing to see a new member (not that I have been here all that long) with an actual non-default handle that actually follows up on the advice given, asks more questions, etc. Good on you tyfattori!

^^^ Alternate thread tittle: Best AT Setup for Guided Roadside Attractions in AK or Japan?

No need for a full blown touring setup, just something for staged pics to post on Instagram. Must work well for 98% inbounds and 2% sidestash.

I'll throw in my two cents. I'm 5 11, 180, skied for 51 years and have been touring for the past nine. I'm using F12 on a 9 DIN on two different alpine skis with alpine boots with a walk mode. They've worked fine for me. The stack height is a bit different but not a major problem. Disclaimer is that I also have two pure alpine setups that I ski in-area but it doesn't bother me to ski the touring gear in-bounds.

I assume you're just doing laps in one spot rather than longer tours?

Mostly, yes. However, we did one trip up Mt. St. Helens but mostly boot-packed on the way up. We also did a three day hut trip with six hours on skins the first day and about 4 hours the second day but got rained out the last part of that day and the next. But yes, mostly out the gates at Schweitzer for half-days.
