K2 Super Stinx Older Telemark Skis

K2 Super Stinx Older Telemark Skis 

DESCRIPTION

We've added more sidecut which gives the Super increased accuracy, greater carving power and better float. It's the all around dream ski for advanced and expert pinners. Of course, it will have drilled tips for rigging an emergency sled, and notched tails for skins.

set up with G3''s, 195 cm. a great all around ski for the Canadian Rockies. Enough girth to plow through the deep and heavy stuff and enough sidecut and torsional stiffness to set an edge on the hardpack. very damp, solid-feeling ski, especially when hitting crud or wind-blown chop. granted, a lack of tele-skis for demo-ing leaves me a little biased towards the Super, but for an all-rounder i''d say it would be pretty hard to beat. if you haven''t skied a wider or shaped ski, be prepared to be pulled into arcs quite quickly. but once you''ve gotten used to the flex and the sidecut they will carve like no other. good for all radius turns. pretty light too, if you do a lot of skinning up.

These skis are hands down the best telemark setup I've tried. I've got G3 bindings on 188s and they are as close to perfect as I've seen. They have a big sweet spot and they turn quick, yet make the long, haul ass G-s turns like a dream as well. A good amount of charge to them often puts me in the air between turns, but when I'm tired and feel like relaxing they calm down as well. More than anything else, I'd say they make skiing feel a whole lot easier. It is worth noting that the mounting should be 7mm forward of chord center (as mentioned in Culoir Magazine).
