Great compromise of power and weight

By Courtney Dean August 25, 2010

I got these for my touring skis. I compromised on weight, fitting them with a pair of Fritchi freerides, in the hopes of having a powerful downhill kit.

They're lighter than most, making them a good compromise. I wouldn't randonee race in this set up, but it's perfect for a little bit of touring and ascents down sketchy, steep lines.
