By Ranked #873 - Alpine Touring Bindings December 16, 2009

Thanks, was thinking the smalls would be best too. Not sure how much touring I'll actually be doing, but want the capability of hittin backcountry from time to time. I am 5'10 175lbs. I usually ski Taos, Wolf Creek, and Silverton. I'm pretty good and aggressive, just never had the equipment/time/ money to complement my skills. I'm that guy riding park skis in deep pow struggling to shred like my friends who have the right gear for the conditions, but nonetheless holding my own. You won't see me hucking off anything higher than 15ft or so as my aging knees deteriorate. I think the Barons would be sufficient, but still like having the best gear (even if it is once every 5-7 years).

I would go with the Barons, even if you want your DIN at 10 (your knees wouldn't like you) these will work great. the are a better weight, better for touring, better all around. -- and the size you get is dependent on the length on your boots.
