Your Rossis look like great skis. The boots & bindings I'd choose depend on the terrain I'd use them on. If you were in the West I'd match them up with a lightweight 3-pin/75mm, 2-buckle plastic boot like my beloved Garmont Libero. That would also be a good setup for learning to tele on W NY lift areas. But the Alpina Alaskas look great, too, and along with an NNN binding will keep the total weight down really well, making them much more fun to skate, kick and glide around town on (or the shuffling version of kick/glide that a ski without a stiff-camber wax pocket can approximate, at least). BTW, the Alpina Montana is just one lace hook shorter and I found it for $50/pr on amazon.
There's an REI in Rochester, I'd go there and ask where people tour & get turns nearby. It sure does snow a lot there, there must be some sledding hills nearby at least, some place you could yo-yo with a pair of skins.

Neat you should cite those because they're exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote about skis still made but hard to find outside Scandinavia. Their website does list 3 N. American dealers. Pretty pricey, though. A cheaper alternative would be to find some old Fischers or Karhus used. Like the Fischer Europa 99s with wax pocket camber or the BCX w/o it, or the Karhu PAVO also w/o the pocket, the Karhus with a wax pocket are hard to find since they were foam core and didn't hold up like the wood-core Fischers, not many survived the era. There's a bunch on eBay. Just remember that skis that narrow, in the 50mm waist, 62mm shovel neighborhood, need to be a lot longer. I'm 5'10" 160lbs and ski 205s in that width range, Fischer Europa 99s I've had since Reagan was president. OTOH I have Rossi Bandit B2s @174cm to tele in tight trees.
Good luck with your move, I hope all goes well for you in Rochester, not just the skiing. Feel free to ask me for more advice when you get closer to a purchase, learn more about the locale. I've got a lot of free time lately.
