Actually that is a sick Backcountry set-up! It's obvious that you care more about Down than up. For the Kuro's I'd run the fattest skin and buy some fat tips... http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Adjustable-Tip-Loops/BLD0479M.html You'll be stoked!

MadDOGGG, 130mm skins on Volkl Kuros are going to perform like boat anchors, basically because it's about the heaviest touring set-up I can imagine, especially if you have some Dukes on there. If you seriously want to tour on these, I would think about even going to a 140mm skin, if such a thing exists. That way you can trim them wall to wall. Even with 130mm skins, you would probably be leaving enough open base to have you falling on your face on steeper tracks. I would find the cheapest skin in that size, and then spend what you saved on a gym membership or a gazelle (see pic) to develop massive hip flexors so they don't explode on your first tour.
