so I've settled on picking up the Prophet 100's (179) bc I have heard such amazing things about them. I'm 5'11" and weight about 165. I'm a super aggressive skiier that lives in the east but spends much time out west and so will use these on just about everything. I'm just getting into more backcountry stuff but bc does not occupy the majority of my time. the big question is then do I go with one of the new strong AT bindings like the Dukes or Fritschi Diamir Freeride Plus' or do I stick with a simple alpine binding? are these AT bindings that strong and versatile such that it would be better to have the AT option without compromising the binding? and if I do go AT, could you reccomend some skins that would fit these skis? Many Thanks.
