I'm getting some new skis (gotama). Thinking about getting into AT, so I might get these bindings. If I end up not getting into touring, will these still be OK or would I have to replace them with a regular binding, like a griffon?

Agreed. The Barons will be perfect for a Gotama, even if you are skiing the resort a lot. Just think of those times when you could just skin out the Shuksan Arm at Baker or go for a longer tour out Grizzly Gulch after a few laps inbounds; this is when the Barons will be perfect. No extra weight, no trekkers, and you will still have the ability to go on quick, easy tours.

No, if you want to stay inbounds, these are still a great (more than OK) binding. Plus, you don't have to be a committed AT freak to back these up, you'll just be a really skilled sidecountryist. yeah, I just made that word up, let the revolution begin.
