Even more good ideas. Thx.

I'm 6'0" (1.83m) tall, and weigh in at 200 lbs (91kg)...and that's about as high as I get..my usual weight is more close to 180lbs.

Some used tele bindings and boots may be the way to go.

So much good input...thanks to all. It sounds like for a newbie...I should come up with a new plan. The skis I've been using with the Alaska boots are Fischer Europa 99...metal edges but not really any taper. Heres a link to some on ebay right now...mounted with telemark bindings. https://www.ebay.c...

I've been browsing, searching and learning from you all for the past week or so and really appreciate the wisdom here. But I havent found what I'm looking for. Today I talked to my local mountain gear shop and got the feeling they werent much into telemark and were probably pushing the randonee gear...
