Now I've got a few questions myself. I was hoping to take these out for a few alpine touring trips and I was wondering if anyone had already taken them out on a few trips and had any comments. From what I hear they are relatively light so they should do a pretty good job. Just wanted someone to back that up with some real experience. Then I was also hoping to get some good ideas as to what type of alpine touring bindings to put on them. I was going to go with the Marker Dukes. And then any insight on what kind of skins to use with these babys?
Thanks!

Hey Pierre - The Czars have been my primary touring ski for the past 2 seasons and I love them. They are a little bit heavier than the ultralight setup I previously had, but the ride back down the mountain is so much better that it is definitely worth a couple of extra pounds! I currently ski with a pair of Freitschi Freerides and they work well with the skis. However, from what I've heard about the Duke I think it is a better binding than the Freitschi's. I use the G# Expedition Climbing skins in the 110 mm. I hope that was helpful!

I've had quite a few trips out on the older 182s and these in a 190. In my opinion they are a great ski for tourning. Sometimes the snow can be a little funky, but that shouldn't keep you from enjoying the ride. tip rocker and wood equal fun and stable in all conditions. I find them to be light yet solid if that makes sense. Dukes seem to be the popular AT binding of the last couple years. feel free to follow up if you have any other questions:)
