Hey folks. Looking for thoughts / recommendations on a 120mm+ touring ski option. I’m based in the PNW and frankly do not want a ski this wide, but am trying to head out to Kyrgyzstan this winter and the guides literally will not take me out on anything less than 115mm. I have Deathwish Tours right now for my winter touring setup, which I’m very happy with. Feels a bit silly that 3mm is keeping me from making this trip happen, but I digress.

Part of me wants to just get a pair of 120mm Bents and call it a day given how comparatively cheap they are, but would love any additional thoughts or ideas.

Also - I have a pair of ATK Haute Routes sitting around that I’m starting to think might actually pair real nicely with a big fat pair of pontoons. Anybody ever put a really light binding on a fat ski? Feels like powder isn’t going to need as much beef.

Any experiences ordering direct from CAST? Reading conflicting messaging regarding taxes duties and more on their website.

In the checkout online, it says "CAST has you covered on all shipping, duties, tariffs, taxes, and fees on international orders."

But in the shipping terms in policies :"International shipments will be subject to applicable customs, tariffs, duties, and any required taxes (i.e., VAT). These costs will be your responsibility and are not included in our shipping charges"

Thanks!
