I use NNN-Bc for tamer stuff last 2-3 years after getting intoXC /BC skiing. I have a chance now for more remote touring to a place with good elevation and serious runs. I also want to dio the catamount and wasn;t sure the NNN bc would be suitable. So I lucked into these bindings and picked up unused Rossignol BC X-11 3 pin boots unused for less than $100. My thoughts were to have a more rugged set up than my NNn quiver for toruing in and taking some turns or for hut to hut with a pack and wanted to saver my knees and kind of keep it on the lighter end and learn to telemark. I just need to figure out a ski to use. I have a chance to pick up an unused pair of Karhu 10th Mountain Skis for $175. Thought they would strike a good balance fio lightness good turning and tracking for kick and glide. I also have a chance to pick a pair of Atomic Rainer for $225. Am I on the right track? will these work for what I need? Also considered Rossignol bc 90 and 125's can only get 90's fordecent $.

The skis you mention are all great for a touring orientation and great for the Catamount and Eastern backcountry. If you are looking for more downhill performance and for deeper snow I would lean a bit wider, skip the fishscales and get some skins.
