Backcountry setup

[LJF]

Alright I have a 179 seth pistols, 186 dynastar big troubles and 186 head mojo 90's. I was just wondering what ski people think would be the best for backcountry touring. Any input would be great.

im going to say big trouble. Because they're pistols so they're older, i wouldn't pick those, personnaly. I guess it doesn't much matter eh?

 

[SeymourGrease]

dunno all seem like great skis to me

 

[titsLOL]

I dunno which it is but personally i'd go with whichever is the lightest. maybe i'm just lazy.

my vote would be for the pistols.. with the big trouble the tails are just to tall for skins or anything and a mojo 90.. a little to stiff. With the pistols u can do anything anywhere and there relatively light as well.

I have the pistols mounted twice with alpine already, so would that screw it up if I tried to mount my fritchi on them?

 

[iggyskier]

the fritschi hole pattern is very wide, so it should be ok.

I say pistols for BC

id just use the pair you use less.......cos' say you ride the pistols every time it dumps inbounds.then you gonna blow the touring bindings up dropping stuff.....mount the lightest pair you dont huck on as often.
