I'm kind of interested in Randonee skis/bindings but not for any kind of serious multi-day touring. I mainly want some kind of system that's more versatile. One of the places I was staying at is about a 1-mile from the lodge to the slopes. You can get to the mountain along a system of groomed trails used by snowshoers and XC skiers. It has some low-grade rolling hills, but you really have to walk your Alpine skis over. I may be a bit of a wuss but lugging those things 1-mile each way was not fun. I've been looking into getting Randonee bindings in order to ski over to do my downhill. I would also probably like to start venturing a bit out-of-bounds, too, when the trails starting getting crowded.
At one of the ski shops the guy there told me that it would be fine to mount the randonee binding on my all-mountain ski and use the boots I've got. Any thoughts on this?
Again, I'm not looking to do any serious multi-day touring. Just want a little bit of versatility.
