I just moved out to Idaho from the East Coast and am looking to get into touring. I'm a complete gaper to this but here's about what I'm looking for:

-Twin tipper, 185cm+, rockered, ~110mm waist, stiff but a decent amount of play for occasional cliffs, booters, and pow butters (like the Moment Deathwish or equivalent)

-binders, not looking for anything super technical, 12-14 DIN range, light but I'm not gonna make a huge deal over a few grams here and there

-skins included

-trying to keep everything under $500

Overall I want something that I could use for some side country at resorts, day trips, and the occasional weekend overnight. Not looking to do any crazy long distance hikes or gnar steep lines.

Show me what you have! Thanks!

If you gonna go for under $500 for skis bindings and skins start looking at used gear. No way your gonna find new gear that cheap.

Yah that's what I meant only looking for used gear! I don't think I've ever bought ski gear new
