Should I get freeride skis with touring binding compatibility?

If you do any backcountry touring—even occasional sidecountry laps—yes, hybrid binding compatibility is worth having. It gives you the flexibility to mount touring bindings for uphill travel without needing a separate ski. If you exclusively access terrain via lifts (including slackcountry accessed through resort gates), standard flat alpine mounting is fine and may offer slightly more binding options. The key consideration is whether the weight of a freeride ski is acceptable for the amount of uphill travel you do—heavy freeride skis are punishing on long skin approaches.
