I have the old freeride (Wht one) on a pair of Black Diamond Crossbows as touring skis, then Fritschi made the Freeride Plus... I'm riding the new freeride Plus on my new powder boards, BD Zealot 192s, The BD Zealot is a wide powder board/wood core so it's stiff and I couldn't imagine the old Freeride with it's wobble? I'm also riding these new Powder Boards (BD Zealot) with the new Garmont Shaman Boot (Freeride/Alpine boot-not an AT boot) and the freeride Plus w/it's new stabilizing track solved the wobble/flexing of the older wht ones, plus it stands up to my aggressive style skiing/Extreme skiing profile (100 days a year at Alta UT) I'm getting a pair of BD Machines next which is BDs ski w/ a Slalom Race styling, I'll be mounting them w/freeride Plus' as well after the way my new Freeride Plus has worked out on my Powder Boards (BD Zealots) I've broken toe pieces on the old freerides, but I have 40+ days riding the chairs of Alta on the Freeride Plus/BD Zealots and they've rode well... As far as touring, they're more solid than the older Freeride (Wht one) Little stiffer too, and again, the track so improves the stability at speed, as well as less apt to do heel ejections if you learn to hard forward on them...
