Has anyone had any experience with the Double Helix as a telemark ski? I tried the HellBents last year with HammerHeads and they great but only in real soft powder. Looking for more of an all around ripper.
Thanks.

I am riding the Double Helix tele and absolutely love them! I use NTN and Scarpa TX Comps, and highly recommend this combo. I only have four days on the DH so far, and I haven't even gotten a great powder day with them yet, and I still love them. Sunday was a couple inches of soft snow on steep bumps, followed by soft groomers back to the base, and they rocked. Super fast turning in the steeps, awesome wherever I found a pocket of deeper snow, and stable yet quick on the groomer.

I'm really considering a pair of DH for tele. I'll mount 'em with Axl's, probably, since they're not too big (right?) for touring. If I don't get these, I'll be getting something similar, but I still want something huge for deep days. Maybe the genome. My thoughts for alpine skis as telemark skis are this: Skis are skis. Modern boots and bindings have closed the gap now, and with telemark skiers entering alpine comps, that's all the proof you need, really. It's all a style preference, now. If the flex feels good, and you like the shape, go for 'em. Good luck, pal. Enjoy!

I'm betting the Helix (rather than Double Helix) would be a better all around ski.
