I'm coming up on the end of a season with these bindings, and have loved them. However, did discover that it is possible to lose the tour mode under certain snow conditions. At the end of a 16 mile tour, encountered heavy snow. I switched from tour to ski mode to step over an obstacle, and the bindings would not return to tour mode (I think wet, heavy snow become stuck beneath the switch so they would not remain in tour mode, but slipped immediately back to ski mode). These bindings are impossible to tour on without tour mode (way too stiff - similar to trying to tour alpine gear), so am now nervous about losing this feature half way into a lengthy tour, instead of at the end. . .

I am a one ski guy, and these are my skis. I tend, at least in theory, toward off piste/BC, and the width of these skis performs marvelously in powder, crud, corn, etc. The surprising part is how they perform on the groomers: they can actually, with a little effort and technique, lay some tele-trench. These skis excell where it counts, and don't ask for much of a sacrifice in other areas.

I'm a one ski guy, and this is my ski. It is wide enough to keep you afloat in the deep, but can lay some trench on the groomers as well (though it does take a little more work to get on edge - not as snappy as a narower waisted ski, though can still carve). This ski, with a 01 binding, eats crud: supper stable. It's a great all around ski.
