The 96 mm waist and All-Terrain Rocker give you enough float for soft snow and spring corn, while the firm flex and Titanal-inspired layup keep it calm when you are driving through chop or arcing longer turns back to the car. On the up, the Shift2 toe switches into pin mode for efficient skinning; on the down, it locks into a full alpine toe and heel so it feels like a proper resort binding rather than a pure tech binding. For women who want one setup that can charge lifts in the morning and head for a short tour in the afternoon, this is a no-compromise downhill option that still earns its turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Mindbender 96 W shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern freeride profile that is quick edge-to-edge but happy being pushed hard in variable snow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 mm touring-friendly waist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced width for backcountry missions, firm resort days and everything in between.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Terrain Rocker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rockered tip and tail for float and ease in softer snow, camber for grip and drive on harder conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Shift2 10 binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pins for the climb, full alpine toe and heel for the descent, with DIN up to 10 for most touring riders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-norm compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with touring, GripWalk and Alpine soles, ideal for one-boot, one-ski quivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSki-team touring pick:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curated for women who want a chargey, confidence-boosting downhill feel without giving up touring versatility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BaseNZ","offers":[{"title":"158","offer_id":51866826408068,"sku":null,"price":2799.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"163","offer_id":51866826440836,"sku":null,"price":2799.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"168","offer_id":51866826473604,"sku":null,"price":2799.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"173","offer_id":51866826506372,"sku":null,"price":2799.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0321\/8063\/3732\/files\/k2-mindbender-96-w-touring-ski-package-2027-632.webp?v=1779081379"},{"product_id":"line-sakana-ds-touring-ski-package-2027","title":"Line Sakana (DS) Touring Ski Package 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Line Sakana DS + Kingpin 13 Touring Package 2027 is for skiers who want their touring setup to feel like a playful, surfy freeride ski, not a skinny toothpick. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is lighter than it looks, and with a full pin binding for the climb plus the Dylan Siggers signature graphic, this is the exact hybrid rig Meg has bought for W26 to skin on in the morning and still have a heap of fun riding lifts in the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRider Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreeride touring \/ all-mountain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate to expert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRocker\/Profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarly rise tip, camber underfoot, swallowtail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip\/Waist\/Tail (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 \/ 105 \/ 138 (174, 181)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBinding DIN Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 – 13 (Marker Kingpin 13)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis setup takes the Sakana DS’s big shovel, cambered body and surfy swallowtail and matches it with the Marker Kingpin 13 to create a touring package that still feels composed when you open it up. The 105 mm waist and long, early-rise tip float easily in pow and spring corn, while the camber and stout core let you carve and slash through chopped-up snow without the ski feeling nervous. Despite the bold shape, the construction keeps the weight reasonable for the skin track, and the Kingpin’s pin toe makes the uphill feel efficient and natural. On the way back down, the alpine-style heel and higher DIN range give you the confidence to ski it properly, so you can treat this as a true hybrid setup for both touring missions and in-resort surf sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDylan Siggers Sakana DS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Updated take on the cult swallowtail ski with a playful, freeride-focused flex and signature graphic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e105 mm surf platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide tip and fish tail that plane up easily and love smeary, banked turns in soft snow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern core and layup keep the ski lighter than it looks, helping on longer climbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarker Kingpin 13:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin toe for efficient touring with an alpine-style heel and DIN 6–13 for confident descents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid touring\/resort role:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equally at home on backcountry laps and lift-served days when you want a surfy ride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStaff-backed choice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meg’s own ski and binding combo for W26, picked as her go-to for both touring and riding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BaseNZ","offers":[{"title":"166","offer_id":51869062824068,"sku":null,"price":2849.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"174","offer_id":51869062856836,"sku":null,"price":2849.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"181","offer_id":51869062889604,"sku":null,"price":2849.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0321\/8063\/3732\/files\/line-sakana-ds-touring-ski-package-2027-hski-257.webp?v=1779140299"}],"url":"https:\/\/basenz.com\/collections\/touring-ski-packages.oembed","provider":"BaseNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
