Hello All
I am new here and new to telemark. My set up right now is a really old set of Volkl Karma and BD tele bindings. I want to get a NTN set up and with that new skis... My questions are as follows. I really like the stiffness of Volkl skis and I am a bigger guy, so i need a stiffer ski. When i get new tele skis - do i go normal stiffness or do i want the skis to flex a little? And also Chamber, early rise, full rocker... For tell what type of ski do i want. My downhill skis right now are a volkl mantra (which is full rocker) Would a mantra be a good tele ski?
Thanks

Re: New Guy - Rocker and Stiffness
Just get exactly what you would buy for alpine. If you like them stiff, you will like them stiff on tele too...
If you like the Mantras, just sell the bindings on ebay for 50$ and you will love them as NTN telly skis too...!
