Write your question here...are Goats any good for touring back country?

I would definitely opt for a ski with at least some degree of traditional camber underfoot if touring the backcountry in order to prevent slippage while skinning (which I heard can be a problem if skinning with completely reverse cambered skis) as well as to provide greater edge grip in firm snow or icy conditions.

The Nunatuq is the touring version of this ski - 20% lighter. Would be a better option if this is the primary use.
