My Skiing
Moved to Utah in 1979 and ski bummed at Snowbird for TOO long. But I quickly realized that untracked powder didn't exist long at the resorts and got my first Tele setup in 83. Been skiing backcountry since. Slow to the AT gear, but Skimo changed that. Style is slowly evolving from the Hippy powder turns to willing to open it up on occasion. Finally getting into touring in the Spring too.
My Gear
First AT setup is Spectres and Wailer 112 Pures with Radical ST 2.0. Heavy, but work very well at Alta on Powder days.
Now on Alien RS (size 26) Movement Alp Track 100 with Ski Trab Titan Vario.2.
Spring setup - Ski Trab Magico.2 171cm and Titan Vario.2 of course.

Alex, Skimo only deals in touring gear. So we just have for the Peak and Pro Tour boots.

Earl, Yes, the risers are much more solid. The first riser is very snappy and has wide wings to easily manipulate with your poles.
As long as your Release value is within the stated range, you are good. You don't need to be right in the middle as the old saying went.
We only have the 12 with brakes.

Hi Alex, Actually you can use pretty much any binding on any ski. There are no specific requirements. If you like the push button style brakes, go for any Crest.
The new RT EVO 10 is a nice upgrade from the Crest.
The EVO 15 gives you the new brake and Freeride spacers if you want the added boot support for some resort runs.

Ville, this is a question for boot fitter. Include your exact foot length in mm.

Vladimir, Most of the lightweight boots do not have flex numbers, nor do they accurately describe how they feel.
But yes, it would be less then 120.
