I'm right on the edge of two weight classifications. Any ideas about whether i should size up or size down? I'm dealing with Montana snow and am leading ski trips on mostly tracked trails, but will occasionally be doing steeper, deeper stuff.

If you are going Steeper and Deeper then GO LONGER! Any BC skier knows that! This is a great easy turning ski Telemark turns are a Snap!

I would recommend sizing down. Especially with a metal-edge touring ski, it can be hard to get enough grip from the waxless pattern. You give up a little downhill performance and/or glide for secure uphill grip. Herringboning, when you shouldn't have to, sucks!
