so i am new to skiing, and decided to give tele skiing a try. i ended up getting the verdicts and at times felt ok on them, but a lot of times felt like i was getting my butt kicked. what's a better beginner tele ski for somebody of intermediate abilities? thanks.

Depends a bit on where you ski. If out west in powder-land, a ski of a similar width, but a bit softer might work well, Atomic Charter & G3 Zen or Tonic are good options. If not always in the deep, I'd definitely look a little narrower (easier to get on edge). G3 Saint, Atomic Aspect, etc. Look for some tip rocker, but not too much. Hope this helps.
