Lightweight touring skis that actually ski good

[verynormalguy]

Anyone got recommendations for lightweight touring skis that don’t ski like a touring ski? Looking for an all rounder that would ski pow and spring corn well, as I don’t have money for multiple touring setups.

Theve had some durability issues as of late but I have OG line vision 108s and they are a dream. 1600grams and are so fun to ski. Pretty much perfect

Been very pleased with my on3p billygoat 108 tours.

You can definitely tell they are a touring layup/a 1700g ski....but far far better inbounds and in crud than any other touring layup/ski I have rode so far. Got them in some deep stuff throughout the last few tahoe storms and they float very well for a 108. Have one day in spring slush/corn and they rode great. I would say they are a good option.

I think they switched to a 110, but they should ride super similar. The bamboo definitely goes a long way in eliminating a lot of the chatter/harshness/dead feeling that normal touring skis tend to have.

Fauna pioneer is worth a thought

I really liked the way the dispatches skied in the 101 in the 182 and I'm 5'10" 150, they are fairly stable for their weight. I would consider a cast for them for a 5050 setup.

White walkers are hella fun

currently touring my old kartel 98's

honestly been great, especially spring conditions

Someone said Dispatch 101 which for sure skis great. Probably also Armada Locator and atomic Backland

I have the same ski from the same year, absolute corn machines. Way more stable than it should be at it's weight class aswell

Blizzard Hustle. I have the 10s and have been super happy with them.

mine might be getting touring bindings then, was going to ditch them this season after never riding them

 

[skrtfest]

voile hypervectors they ski like two pieces of carbon and snap back harder than my ex

total republican skis (actual suck just crazy light)

 

[mrk127]

Armada JJ UL unless you ski really hard then you might snap them

Moment touring lay-ups are sick, they are probably the best-skiing touring skis I had. I have Wildcat 108 and previously had deathwish tour. They felt so much better then average touring skis from big brands that I couldn't believe the difference at first. Not floppy, confidence inspiring, stable, light, but yet damp enough to ski in almost every condition
