Hi
I’m looking at some Bandit B3 Freeride skis (bought in the States in Feb 2005) and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on their suitability for ski-touring?
I’m setting off on the Haute Route in 2 1/2 weeks (getting excited!) and had planned to hire skis, but am now wondering whether it would make more sense to buy a pair and fit them out with touring bindings etc.
They are 185cm, which is about 5cm more than I might normally go for. I’m 81kg and 6’2” and am more interested in off-pite performance than piste ski-ing, though clearly this trip will involve a fair amount of shuffling so that’s also a consideration.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts
Kind regards
Bill
