hey all,
wondering if anyone rides the declivity 102 or 108? would you put touring bindings on them for a bit of sidecountry or probably a bit too heavy?

No ski is too heavy to tour on, just be stronger

I'd say too heavy for pure touring. If you're looking for a resort ski to put a Duke PT/CAST/Shift on there, that'd be a good ski

You don’t need super ultra lightweight skis unless you plan on touring a fair bit, and will be skinning for 4+ hours in a day
Also the Declivities are like 1880 grams which is still pretty light. Most touring skis are ~1550 grams. I toured on skis that were 2640 grams which were pretty heavy and would not recommend lol
