Okey so the problem is the following. Currently I owe Sir Francis Bacon with Jester binding mounted -1 from core. Next year however I would like to mount some Duke biding, since I want to use the skis for some touring hiking. Here comes my question, if Duke is the best option. I nevered used this kind of biding for huh... "performence" skiing and I wonder about thier enurance and hardiness. Are they good hard enought for 10-15 meters drops? And what about switch riding? I have also another question where to mount them ? For powder and big mountain riding -1 is perfect, however i have to admitt that I miss something while spining and switch landing. Should I mount them in a different possition, but still keeping very good performance durign forward riding?

There is also option whith Alpine trekker.

Frankly I dont know how much I will hike with these skis, but I suppose quite often. Alpine with normal biding could be quite heavy option, but on the other hand I can use it also with my other typical powder skis. Somone has ever used this Alpine trekker? IS it really so heavy?

which option would be better then?

Cheers

Sry guys I wrote wrong about actual bidings' mounting point. I mounted them -1 cm from the recommended point.
 
I am kinda sorta in the same boat and i have a question about dukes and landing switch. I plan on hitting some jumps with sled access as well as dropping some cliff and regular riding that would require skinning up to these spots. From what i understand touring bindings and switch don't get along, would trekkers be my best option?
 
think of dukes as a jester with touring capabilitiesthat's exactly what they arethey are just as burly as your jestersnow that that's out of the way, i think mounting -1 from core for touring will SUCK. you want to mount at least recommended
