Just trying to decide on a replacement touring ski - be interested to hear peoples' thoughts. I'm keen for it to be reasonably fat, probably at least 95 underfoot (if not more) but with a tightish radius. I'm going to go for around 180 / 185 length, a flat tail I think, and obviously light would be good (though not too light as I reckon that starts to feel sketchy when you're skiing something steep). I've been looking through the options here: http://www.skimountain.co.uk/ski-reviews?skiType[]='Touring+Skis'

Posted Tue, 02/14/2012 - 17:1095 seems a bit too fat for me for a touring ski. Depends what you're doing on it I suppose. I had the Movement Logics for a while which were pretty good though didn't really seems to perform as good as I'd like on anything solid. Be interested to hear what other think 'cos I'm going to be upgrading soon too - mainly holding off 'cos i can't face the thought of new skins and bindings as well!
