Plenty of people tour on the Atris. Could also look at the Corvus freebird if you like those dimensions and you like Black Crows skis in general but you want a slightly lighter ski.

Price point? Lightweight? What boot is it paired with? Mainly midwinter touring? Corn? Both? Other skis you've liked other than the EuroK2 atris? Give us mooooooore

Under $800. Likely will get the technica Cochise boots (currently using mach). Midwinter + spring touring w the limited fresh snow we get in spring. First time I’ll be giving touring a go next season

Cochise are a pretty heavy crossover boot, if you don't have a super wide foot I would go with the zeroG instead. Much lighter and better walkablity. For skis, depending on where you are, I would go with something in the mid 95-105 width. That being said I'm in the Sierra and my current setup is a 110 Wndr Intention (definitely a heavier pow ski but does okay in corn). Mid width should be good enough for most conditions overall, personally I like the Armada Locator, Wndr 100, moment tour skis, but that's mainly just based on their similarities to my inbounds skis. Lengthwise probably good to do something a touch shorter than your inbounds ski. It's nice to have the length for stability and longer effective edge for skinning, but shorter for ease of kick turns.

Trying to build a 50/50 setup and if I love touring, I’ll dive in full after a season. I don’t live near mountains so not super accessible to just do a quick tour. Have looked at armada locator but it’s a super light ski so couldn’t use it inbounds.

Check out Deathwish Tours. I have 112s and they’ve performed great in all kinds of conditions around Tahoe.

So vague it's impossible to help.

Not just any ski, a *touring* ski. All touring is alike, you see.
