Don't plan on taking tight tele turns on them (alpina 1550 with fischer inbounds), the boots twist too much... but they are nice for anything expect carving steep downhills. Tuck and go and you'll still have to sidestep... At the end of the season when I'm in good physical condition, I can usually start a telemark turn and pivot on my pole and hop to zig-zag down the slopes... tough moves to make though. ME/VT skiing on powder to corn. I got last year's fischer outtabounds for a good price and i am browsing for boots... the verdict on boot style is still out though... good luck!!!! fisher outtabounds are like the Alpina X Terrain Ski available here...
