I was planning on doing both touring and side country trips. I might possibly downsize to the M1. Does anyone know how the M1 performs? and again how well the skins would attatch?

I would avoid using the M1 for touring and sidecountry trips. It is strictly a firm snow ski, and it's most certainly NOT a powder ski since they are far too stiff for any kind of float (they also weigh close to 10 lbs which would be too heavy for most for touring). If you want a SOFT powder-specific ski, go with the 188. If you want something more versatile and stiffer, go with the 190.For skin attachment, I use 140mm BD Ascension skins. I know it's overkill, but they were previously used for another ski. On the plus side, this particular size came with an adjustable loop which is plenty big to fit over the wide square tips. Your other option is using G3 Alpinist skins which are fairly easy to attach at the tip.
