By Ranked #42 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis June 1, 2010

I have the 191s and have not yet mounted anything on them beacuase i'm basically waiting for the next time i head out west. However my current touring setup turned out to be pretty heavy so i'm considering mounting these and using them in the White Mountains backcountry (tuckerman ravine, king ravine, etc...). What i'm worried about is whether or not the foam core (thats what it is, right?) will hold up to the bumps that form on the 2.5 - 3 mile trails that lead out of the bowls. I would sometimes be carrying 3 days of winter overnight gear. Would this take an unreasonable toll on skis like these or am i overreacting?

This is a wood core ski, you'll be fine with any AT binding.
