Nordica 9.1FF as a touring rig

**weibo** · 11-07-2005, 09:29 PM

So I have a line on a 190cm FF with Freerides. Now my question is should I keep this as a touring rig or should I remove the freerides and put on alpine bindings? What say ye.

I've been using this very set-up for 3 years and I love it. If you don't mind the weight, keep it as is. Unless you want to put some race binders on them and let em rip and find something lighter for touring.

Take off the freerides and trade me for some 4 X $ Bigs, it is the ultimate touring rig.

I think you're missing the winky.

Once I know for sure that I have secured these I will make the call. It may be that I take off the frerides and put them on my Soft Bros and move a alpine to the FF's. That would leave me with two touring rigs which would allow me to sell off my Big stix 84 Naxo 01 combo. I will know later today.

the nordica is a BIG, ski, will be faster, and feel stronger then a soft bro. Good for going huge in the pass, not so nice for day walks

Excellent choice.

I was actually debating the same thing. However the more I look/fondle my brand new 190 9.1 FF. As an AT rig I honestly feel I would not be utilizing the ski to its full potential. So I m gonna mount mine with S916s or FKS185s
