Hi Hayden, For uphill to downhill, absolutely, since you don't have to take off your skis for that! However, in a downhill-to-uphill transition, we do not think these are quite long enough to keep on while you put your skins on. Not comfortably, at least.

Hi Rob, It sounds like you have some shell fit issues! You probably need a punch in the navicular to relieve pressure on that area - I don't think the liners are the cause. With that said, an Intuition Tour Wrap liner doesn't have the seam in that spot. You probably do want a 12mm liner for that boot, noting that if you go with the wrap, it will fill up more space in the cuff than a tongue-style liner. It may not totally resolve your issue of having a roomy forefoot - all foam liners ultimately pack out, ...

Hi Alex, I would recommend this ski for you! The 90mm width and medium weight are great for spring skiing on the volcanos, and the rocker profile of this ski makes it predictable and easy to handle. It will not require as much input and drive as the Zero G 95 to pivot and turn. As far as dedicated touring skis go, it isn't too dissimilar from the Bents. You will want to mount it on the Progressive or Newschool line, depending on where you have your Bents mounted, to get a similar experience. Progressive is...

Hi Evan, If the metal turret that the heel piece attaches to is intact, then you don't need to replace the brakes/baseplate. If the metal turret is broken, you will need to replace the baseplate as well as the heel piece. The brakes are available on this listing (Radical ST brakes). The heel pieces are available here, you would need the Radical ST. It will be a different color, but is functionally the same.

Hi Dylan, This ski would be a great choice for that use! If you can take the added weight of the Ace construction (which, while heavier than some touring skis, is not really that bad overall), these are a damp and versatile ski that can handle all different types of terrain and skiing! They make a great powder ski, but can still hold an edge. Another great option to look at in this category would be the Armada Locator 104, which is slightly lighter, longer turn radius, and a little more energetic.
