K2 sells the skins directly on their website.

yeah the pontoons are a really fun ski they are basically good for an intermediate to expert skier. You don't need to get a really long ski if you buy the pontoon because you will get plenty of floatation and stability even if it may seem a little small.

K2 has precut skins for these skis. As you can see the rivets in the tip and tail are what you hook your skin up to. So there is no need to guess. As far as tele skiing on these. These things are massive. Which makes it a lot of ski to carry up the side of the mountain. What a lot of people dont understand is that tele skiing isn't always a powder day. So you need a ski that can ski it all and get you out of tight situations. I would look at K2's other skis such as the darkside, sidestash, or coomback. Those are good big mountain chargers, but are also geared to be good tele skis as well.

I've seen quite a few people on the tram with the older version of this ski and tele binders, mostly mounted with Hammerheads or G3 Targas. You're probably going to have to adjust your style of skiing as these skis have absolutely massively wide tips. I can't say for sure if you're going to have trouble as I've never seen you ski. Since the ski continuously tapers from tip to tail, you would be best off with a 130mm or 140mm skin. You would get full coverage underfoot and in the tail, and you would have some base exposed at the tip. But since there is so much rocker in the tip, that doesn't really matter as you will not be getting any traction from the tip while skinning anyway. K2 also makes a custom cut skin for this ski. This ski is designed as part of the K2 Backside series which means it's meant to be used in the backcountry on the way up and down as a tele and alpine touring ski, as well as with alpine binders. It has a tail notch for skin hooks, so that's a clear indication of it's purpose. I can't say for sure if you will like it, or how comfortable you will be with these skis mounted tele, but there are plenty of people that ski them with tele binders.

You would find these very cumbersome in a tele setup
I have trouble keeping the tips out of each other even on my alpine setup
You would need 160mm wide skin material (cant think of the brand that makes it off the top of my head)
Bottom line Not a good choice if you want to tele

Based on my experience with marker bindings, they aren't anything to consider buying. While the dukes are decent bindings, The salomon sth 16 is the best choice for resort and heli/cat skiing. If you want to tour I would go with the duke but if possible try not to get markers.

If this is only for the resort I would recommend the Marker Jester. If this is for a mix of inbounds and backcountry skiing I would recommend the Marker Duke. If this is going to be a backcountry ski, I would recommend the Dynafit FT12 or the new Dynafit Radical.

For a Pon2oon its going to depend on what you looking to do. Are you going to be using it as a touring ski? or just a normal downhill ski? Most people will most likely go for a touring set up. I would suggest a Diamir Freeride Pro or a Marker Duke same price but the Diamir is a little bit more serious touring and the Duke is a little more freeride oriented. For a cheaper option go for the Marker F 10 or 12. If your not looking for a touring setup i suggest a Marker Griffon or Jester. Make sure with any binding you get you will need to get a 130 MM brake. If anything take it in to a ski shop and they will give you all the help you need.

bindings for this skii size 179
