I know that they are a telemark ski, but what really makes them different? For instance could i take those skis and mount regular bindings on them instead of telemark? thanks for any info

Of course you can mount alpine binders on them.

i think they have threaded inserts for tele bindings though, so you just have to make sure they're not in the way of your screws.

or you could just buy alpine skis. yes it will work, but the flex pattern is different too

the flex pattern is softer, and the ski is skinnier. its just a better telemark ski. but, i tele seth pistols. it works for me. theyre a little bit stiffer and i like that. but yea, couldnt find any for cheap, bt i found the seths for cheap, so whatever. good ski though. my friend rocks the 189.
