For a 50-50 mix of backcountry and touring vs. resort in bounds-powder-day skiing, using an alpine boot (Nordica speed machine) on a pair of Voile Chargers (110mm waist), how would the MarkerF12/F10 compare with the Fritsches Freeride Pro. I'm 5'9", 170, not a huckster but smooth skier who likes steeps and gets to BritischColumbia on occasion. Also, does teh MarkerF12/F10 even come with a brake that fits a 110mm waist ski? Any binder better with alpine boots? Thanks much for any advice.

In my opinion, this will be your best bet to stay in one boot and get the best of both worlds. The ski performance is definitely preferable to the fritchis and far outweighs the little bit of extra time switching them over. Have fun!
