I own one pair of skis - Rossignol Temptation 84s in 154", weighing 6.9lb according to the internet. I'm thinking of using them as AT skis at resorts in the Northeast next season (yes, this is influenced by the COVID situation), but I would also like the exercise. After this season's intro to backcountry clinic at Bolton Valley with @ilovepugs, I realized that I like skinning, but am not in a hurry to get into true wilderness.
Is this a good idea? If so, should I shop for AT boots/bindings/skins online now, or wait until I can visit a ski shop? I don't know that much about ski equipment and can get overwhelmed with options, and would much rather have an expert orient me and support a local shop, as long as they have a reasonable selection and understand my needs/fitting a woman.
