After more reading and pondering, it seems that the Condor with the first iteration of your touring set up might work best for me initially (i.e.the nsn without turning the skiboard around). I doubt I will torque the binding enough to have the release problem that you did as I'm unlikely to be out in as difficult conditions or push the boards as hard. Plus I don't have the variety of bails to experiment with at least at this point.
The 1 nagging concern about this approach is using a non-release binding on a board that is technically too long for this at my height - 5'6". I ski long backcountry skis without release mechanisms - should I worry about it in this case. Again, I'm not looking to go fast and hard. I just want to get into the backcountry and toodle around with my kids as they are learning to snowboard. If I catch this bug then I can worry about more hardcore gear in the future.
